This page describes how to use Mirth to connect OpenMRS to other systems.
(at Joachim's request, some I-TECH Mirth links added below)
Before the REST web services module, OpenMRS had a Mirth Messaging Module which probably shouldn't be used anymore.
...
- If something changes in OpenMRS require updates in Database Connection, you can connect with Mirth OpenMRS our way (with Mirth Messaging Module) and then use the Database Writer in the destination connector. We do not know in this case if you could use REST Web Services Module, I think it is not for this, but we do not know enough to secure outright.

Some comments re I-TECH experience with Mirth for OpenEMRConnect
Attribution – OEC owes most of it’s design and existence to staff in I-TECH’s Kenya and Seattle offices, to Jim Grace of UCSF/FACES in Kisumu, and to CDC staff in Kisumu and Kisian, Nyanza.

The OEC documentation site is not especially active (or pretty), but a lot of stuff is linked off here: https://sites.google.com/site/oeckenya/ This page has references to much of the Mirth work, which was done in late 2011, early 2012.
We’ll try and update at some point w/ a description of the currently deployed OEC system – things got hectic for a while and then our focus switched to the development and implementation of the OpenMRS distribution for the KenyaEMR. https://sites.google.com/site/kenyahealthinformatics/ (This is the primary site for all of our KE work).
