Abstract
OpenInfobutton is an open source suite of Web services that enable infobutton capabilities within Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. Infobuttons are context-sensitive links embedded in EHR systems. They use contextual information about the patient, user, clinical setting, and EHR task to anticipate clinicians' information needs and provide links to online clinical resources that may meet these information needs.
The OpenInfobutton project is an initiative that has been historically led by the United States Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and the University of Utah, and developed by an independent open source community that included members of the VHA, University of Utah and other contributors. OpenInfobutton has been certified through a rigorous process conducted by the Open Source Electronic Health Record Alliance (OSEHRA) community. Further information on OSEHRA is available here https://www.osehra.org. Multiple health IT vendors have incorporated info button into their HIT systems; many clinical systems have incorporated info buttons into their clinical/ health care team workflow.
We hope to determine the best way that openinfobuttons can support OpenMRS needs, and develop initial plans for integration into OpenMRS. Additional information is available at
