MedBrains 3.33.0

Release date: not yet released. Licence: Apache 2.0.

The first versioned release. Everything before it was built without version numbers; this page summarises what 3.33.0 contains. The source is CHANGELOG.md.

Upgrade notes​

  • Database migrations apply automatically when the server starts. Take a backup first.
  • After upgrading, check notifications. A hospital whose email or AI settings name a secret in an old format is asked to re-enter it.
  • Hospitals that bill a module at the counter can leave its automatic charges off; the daily unbilled-orders check skips those modules.

Latest changes​

Security​

  • Signing a clinical document asks you to confirm who you are again, and anyone holding a signed print can check it by its QR code.
  • Live board updates reach only the hospital they belong to. A deactivated account or revoked device loses its live notifications.
  • Secret references in a hospital's settings are limited to that hospital.
  • Single sign-on links to a local account only by a verified email.
  • Dependency updates clear several security advisories.

Clinical​

  • Every clinical record type can be signed, by its registered author.
  • The lab receives its order, not the patient's whole visit.
  • A code-blue page is delivered, or the screen says plainly that it was not.
  • The next shift can find a returning patient and reprint the card.

Billing​

  • Orders done but never billed are found daily and queued for the billing desk.
  • Automatic charges that a clinical action cannot post are queued for attention instead of being lost.

Operations​

  • Switching off a module also switches off its API, not only its menu.
  • The OS box uses less memory on its screen.
  • The OS data disk is encrypted, with every key accounted for, and extra machines join the main one by approval.
  • The web app loads faster: charts, the editor and language packs load only when needed.

What 3.33.0 contains​

  • The hospital system: registration and UHID, OPD with token queues, IPD and discharge, laboratory, radiology with PACS, pharmacy with NDPS and schedule controls, billing with online, UPI QR and card-machine payments, HR, and more.
  • One case sheet per patient, signed clinical documents, and printing with signatures and DRAFT marks.
  • India integrations: ABDM M1 to M3, Scan & Share, NHCX eligibility, pre-auth and claims, and UHI. FHIR bundles are checked against the official HL7 validator before they are sent.
  • Apps: the web app, native iPhone and Android apps for staff and patients, and TV boards.
  • Hospital OS foundations: a kernel for tenant-scoped work, configurable discharge flows, drug-interaction and critical-value changes with two-person approval, and connected vendor apps with a published extension protocol and SDKs.
  • Security and operations: row-level security on every table holding hospital data, an append-only audit of every change and PHI read, backups sealed to an offline key with restore drills, and signed release artefacts with SBOMs and checksums.
