OPENMRSMedical Record System

MissionOur aim 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.

Vision• Models exist to implement health IT in a

way that decreases costs, increases

capacity, and lessens the disparities

between wealthy and resource-poor

environments.

• Open standards enable people to use

health IT systems to share information

and reduce effort.

• Concepts and processes can be easily

shared to enable health care

professionals and patients to work

together more effectively.

• Medical software helps ease the work of

health care providers and administrators

to improve health outcomes all over the

world.

What is the OpenMRS community?The OpenMRS community is a group of

volunteers who aims to use the most flexible

technology (Health IT) to aid the poor in

healthcare.

Where can you find us?

We have partners and collaborations all around the
