What is OpenMRS?
OpenMRS is an electronic medical record system (EMR), designed for use in the developing world and first established 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 demo.
What is the "Concept Proposal Module"?
OpenMRS has a modular architecture which allows special functionality to be easily added or removed from the system. We are developing the concept proposal module, which is well explained on its project page.
How can I help?
We need project managers, developers, translators, QAs, BAs, XDs...
