OpenMRS is an open source electronic medical record system (EMR) system, designed for use in the developing world and first established . Since its beginning in 2004. Today, the system has evolved into a medical informatics platform used on every continent, supporting health care delivery and research in an extremely wide variety of contexts. More information can be found on the OpenMRS about page, together with a demoSee also:

• The about page (mandatory reading).
• Brief textual guide to OpenMRS (very good for context).

Back to main PageInstall the development VM and play around and get familiar with OpenMRS. If you have any issues we will gladly help you at the hack night.

How do I get started?

• Set up the Vagrant box with OpenMRS: this will allow you to play around with OpenMRS in a local environment and can also be used for local development
  • New to vagrant? This wiki page should help with the basics and troubleshoot any problems you face. If you run into a problem, let us know or add it here
• For coders: Set up IntelliJ (any Java IDE should be able to be used but we will suggest and document on IntelliJ)
• Take a look at the Trello Board / Mailing list / GitHub pages for the on-goings
