Areas of Effort

OpenMRS: Open Medical Records System

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. Most deployments are run by independent groups who carry out the work on the ground with technical support and training provided by the collective OpenMRS community of contributors and implementers around the world.

The OpenMRS community has thousands of members in every part of the world. Each software release involved large numbers of these volunteers from all backgrounds.
