At the country level, healthcare workers strive to provide their patients with quality care.
At OpenMRS, we bring together those interested in developing the tech that healthcare workers use to ensure patients get the right, timely, and appropriate care.
What this framework does:
Increases visibility of the community’s strategic community engagement and product direction that have high value for multiple stakeholders. It bridges facility and country-level priorities and where our community is headed, enabling us to collaboratively build solutions with implementers, highlight successes, and guide in-kind or financial investments.
It provides an easy way to see:
- How the community’s vision and direction aligns with countries' strategic vision and implementer priorities
- What solutions the community is working on and how these solutions help countries and implementers achieve their goals
- When, where, and how to contribute
Please see our Product Dashboard and our Community Engagement Dashboard for more detailed information about our direction and projects.
