Patient Tracking Template

This repository is a GitHub template for doctors, therapists, and caregivers who want to track patient information in a private, structured, and collaborative way.

Each repository created from this template should represent a single patient and remain private.

How to use this template

1. Click on "Use this template".
2. Create a new private repository (use a patient name or anonymized ID).
3. Use GitHub Issues to log visits and ongoing cases.
4. Organize supporting files (e.g., lab results, documents) in folders.
5. Optionally invite the patient or family members as read-only collaborators.

Recommended structure

• /visits – notes from each visit (markdown files)
• /labs – lab results or scans (PDFs, images)
• /docs – supporting documents
• /images – images or clinical photos

Additional files:

• timeline.md – brief timeline of events with links to issues
• medications.md – list of prescribed medications
• goals.md – treatment objectives

Visit tracking with Issues

• Use one issue per visit.
• Label and assign issues as needed.
• Use templates to standardize content.
• Keep issues open if follow-up is required.

Labels (optional)

You can define custom labels such as:

• visit
• follow-up
• urgent
• closed
• scheduled
• treatment

Privacy and limitations

• Repositories should always be private.
• GitHub allows up to 3 collaborators per private repository (free plan).
• GitHub is not a medical system and is not certified for storing sensitive health data (e.g., HIPAA or GDPR-compliant hosting).

Wiki

The wiki includes additional instructions on how to use this system effectively. You can expand it for internal protocols or multi-language support.
