Stable shared core
Patients, facilities, providers, encounters, observations, orders, forms, tasks, care plans, reports, roles, and audit trails live in one reusable foundation.
Architecture
A kernel for healthcare workflows.
CARE Core keeps the primitives stable so hospitals, public health programs, implementation partners, and AI tools can build on the same record, the same permissions, and the same integration surface.
Configurable workflows
Programs can model clinical and operational workflows through questionnaires, forms, terminology bindings, and deployment-specific configuration.
Plugin-ready surface
Apps and integrations add AI scribe, TeleICU, devices, labs, pharmacy, billing, messaging, claims, analytics, and national rails without fragmenting the core.
Core primitives
Reusable building blocks, not one-off screens.
Each CARE deployment can look different at the workflow layer while sharing the same data model, access model, audit trail, and API surface underneath.
Patients and identity
Facilities and hierarchy
Providers and teams
Encounters and episodes
Questionnaires and forms
Observations and vitals
Orders and requests
Medications and pharmacy
Labs and diagnostics
Scheduling and slots
Access control and audit
Reports and analytics
Workflow modules
The Core becomes visible where work happens.
CARE Core is not a blank data platform. It ships with real clinical, operational, and financial workflows that can be composed into HMIS, EMR, care coordination, and public health deployments.
Clinical data capture
Structured forms, observations, notes, terminology, and clinical context captured inside the longitudinal record.
Configurable EMR forms
Program and hospital teams can shape workflows without turning every deployment into a new product fork.
Lab management
Orders, samples, diagnostic reports, values, units, and results flow back into the same patient timeline.
Pharmacy and inventory
Prescriptions connect to dispense, stock movement, substitutions, alerts, procurement, and inventory visibility.
Billing and accounting
Invoices, payments, claims, coverage, scheme support, and reconciliation stay connected to real care activity.
Dynamic reports
Clinical and operational reports are generated from the same structured workflows, not rebuilt in spreadsheets later.
Core + plugins
Keep the foundation stable. Let solutions move faster.
CARE Apps extend the platform for AI documentation, TeleICU, devices, messaging, claims, analytics, terminology, national rails, and deployment-specific workflows. The result is reuse without lock-in, and extension without fragmentation.

Standards layer
Designed for interoperability before the first integration.
CARE Core models healthcare data and workflows around open standards, open APIs, configurable terminology, and deployment patterns that institutions can own.
FHIR R5
resource model and APIs
SNOMED CT
clinical terminology direction
LOINC
labs and observations
UCUM
units of measure
ICD-10
classification support
Open APIs
integration by design
Deployment model
Built for institutions that need ownership.
CARE Core is open-source and self-hostable. Governments, hospitals, and implementation partners can deploy it locally, integrate it with their ecosystem, and keep improving the shared core.
Sovereign hosting
Deploy in a government cloud, hospital VPC, managed cloud, hybrid model, or on-prem environment.
Mobile-first care
Support wards, clinics, home visits, field teams, and frontline workflows from the same platform primitives.
AI-ready records
Assistive AI works best when patient context, forms, encounters, permissions, and audit trails already exist.
Foundation stewardship
Open healthcare infrastructure needs more than code.
OHC Foundation stewards CARE Core so it can serve as durable public-good infrastructure: release discipline, security, documentation, standards alignment, implementation guidance, contributor pathways, and a neutral home for governments, hospitals, funders, developers, and implementation partners.
Build on CARE Core
One open foundation. Many healthcare systems.
Use CARE Core to deploy hospital systems, critical care networks, palliative care grids, clinic workflows, public health programs, and AI-assisted healthcare tools without starting from scratch.
