OpenMRS provides an open-source electronic medical record (EMR) framework for developing nations. This collaborative infrastructure supports healthcare systems by offering a data model, core functions, and a default implementation.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Open Source Software Development
  • International Health

Background:

  • Developing countries face challenges in establishing robust healthcare information systems.
  • Existing electronic medical record (EMR) systems are often costly and difficult to implement in resource-limited settings.
  • A collaborative, adaptable framework is needed to support diverse healthcare needs in developing regions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce OpenMRS as an open-source infrastructure for developing EMR systems.
  • To provide a foundational framework suitable for various healthcare stakeholders in developing countries.
  • To facilitate the creation of adaptable and sustainable medical record systems.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an open-source data model.
