# HMIS documentation

> The operational and developer knowledge base for HMIS.

This portal is the source of truth for HMIS deployment, initial configuration, operational runbooks, integrations, and API documentation.

Use the Platform section to prepare a development environment, deploy the production stack through Dokploy, configure a hospital, and operate the installation. The integration sections contain the implementation details for laboratory and radiology systems.

<Note>
  Configuration examples are intentionally sanitised. Replace documented placeholders only in the target environment's secret-management process.
