HMIS Video Library
Short narrated videos that show a real HMIS screen step by step, from the CareCode YouTube channel. They are grouped by module, in the same order as the Wiki Article Index. Where a written article exists for the same topic, the row links to it. A module that is not listed has no videos yet.
Updated is the date the video was uploaded or replaced. If the screen in a video no longer matches your version of HMIS, read the written article, and tell us so we can record the video again.

How this page is kept up to date
- One row per video: a topic and a language each get one row. A new recording of the same topic replaces the old link in its row and changes the Updated date, so the page never lists two versions of one topic.
- A new topic gets a new row under its module heading. The headings follow the Wiki Article Index.
- The written article for the topic should show the same video link, in its own "Videos" section near the top.
- Public and unlisted videos are listed (unlisted ones open from these links but do not appear on the channel page). Private videos are working copies and are left out.
- Videos are made with the
demo-video skill in the HMIS repository, which updates this page and the written article when it uploads a video.
