MEDICAL RECORD SYSTEM
WHAT IS OPENMRS?
OpenMRS is a software platform and a reference application which enables design of a customized medical records system with no programming knowledge (although medical and systems analysis knowledge is required). It is a common platform upon which medical informatics efforts in developing countries can be built. The system is based on a conceptual database structure which is not dependent on the actual types of medical information required to be collected.
OUR AIM:
The mission of OpenMRS is to improve health
care delivery in resource-constrained
environments by coordinating a global
community that creates a robust, scalable,
user-driven, open source medical record
system platform.
INTERFACE
WE ARE:
User-Centered
Our software works in the most challenging health care delivery environments.
We create a platform that is adaptable to the unique needs of our users around the world.
Open
Our software serves as a platform that empowers both users and implementers to innovate.
We publicly document and share our knowledge, skills, experiences, and failures.
WHERE IS OPENMRS?
OpenMRS is now in use around the world,
including South Africa, Kenya, Rwanda,
Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Uganda,
Tanzania, Haiti, India, China, United States,
Pakistan, the Phillipines, and many other
places. This work is supported in part
by many organisations including
international and government aid groups,
NGO’s, as well as for-profit and non-profit
corporations.
WE ARE COMMUNITY DRIVEN1.)We believe the best ideas come from people with
different backgrounds and talents, and we build a
community where these people can come together
and innovate.
2.)We believe in harnessing the wisdom of our
software development community by creating a safe
place to raise concerns, discuss failures, improve
existing ideas, and solve problems.
Central concept dictionary: Definitions of all
data (both questions and answers) are defined
in a centralized dictionary, allowing for robust,
coded data
Security: User authentication
Privilege-based access: User roles and
permission system
Data export: Data can be exported into a spreadsheet format for use in other tools (Excel, Access, etc.)
Standards support: HL7 engine for data import
Modular architecture: An OpenMRS Module can extend and add any type of functionality to the existing API and webapp.
Patient workflows: An embedded patient workflow service allows patient to be put into programs (studies, treatment programs, etc.) and tracked through various states.
