Vision & Top 3 Strategic Directions

We work together in a global fight to improve health care. Tech is one tool we use to bring better care to patients, the providers who care for them, and the organizations who steward health resources. This means the tech we develop together must have Great Tooling + Great Documentation to unlock scale toensure patients get the right, timely, and appropriate care; provide health workers with timely, accurate, and complete information; and, give organizations data to improve the efficiency and quality of care delivery.

Our top 3 Strategic Directions guide us now and in the future 5 years to achieve our Vision. We call these strategies our "3 C's":

Care: Pt Care & User Experience (via O3 - better data quality through better Point-of-Care UX)
Config & Deployment: Faster Deployment through tools that get us closer to enabling non-developers to set up and maintain the EMR, e.g. OCL, Initializer, Docker, and more.
Communication: Data Exchange

...and of course, Ongoing Platform/Core Maintenance, including library upgrades and security patches.

Top Priorities in 2023

Out of the Box Outpatient EMR completed and being leveraged in the real world.
Release O3 apps often and with confidence. A regular cadence with clear release notes and stable versions #'s will help O3 implementers to rapidly benefit from bug-fixes & new features. Part of achieving this requires extensive test automation baked-in to both our PR and release pipelines. (O3, or "OpenMRS 3", is our next-generation version of OpenMRS.)

title	Details About this Product Dashboard

This Product Dashboard is a dynamic, changing space that is open to feedback. The intent is a home-base where anyone, especially day-to-day Implementers interested in the OMRS roadmap, can see at a glace some key initiatives going on around the OpenMRS community: what's happening, who's putting resources in, what needs more support, and where there are specific opportunities to contribute support/investment.

Short Link to this page: om.rs/productdashboard

title	How This Page is Updated

We are working on a clearer process for this. For now: project contributors are encouraged to update this page, though responsibility for ensuring this is a fair, up-to-date reflection of current community work rests with the OMRS Director of Product. Reach out to Grace Potma; we’d love to hear from you and better understand your initiative so we can broadcast your amazing work! We also regularly review this page in the OMRS Technical Action and Strategy & Operations Committees, to help everyone be on a similar page about key work moving our community forward closer to our strategic priorities.

title	CRITERIA: How items get on this Community Roadmap

All of these items are:

being conducted in a public community process, with involvement & investment from 2+ Organizations
being shared with /omrs/5 facilitators, and are receiving some degree of dedicated support from OpenMRS Inc
likely to provide wide community value (i.e. fit under the definition of "Shared Assets" for community)

To suggest an item for the Community Product Roadmap, simply contact Director of Product Grace Potma (grace@openmrs.org) - we'd love to hear about your priorities and current focus areas.

DHIS2 Connector Module
Posts aggregate data from OpenMRS to DHIS2, and gives implementers a User Interface for an easier-to-set-up OMRS to DHIS2 pipeline, that doesn’t need manual code fixes every time there’s a change to reporting indicators. Fixed so this can work in production systems, added automatic data sending, and added support for custom period types.
