OpenMRS Community
OpenMRS is a global community of practice of dedicated, talented, and generous contributors. We believe with the coordination of globally committed contributors, we can substantially improve the health of underserved populations by enhancing the utilization of health information. We share a common mission, vision, and values to enable broad scale successful use of electronic medical record systems in diverse care settings.
Community Structure
To help us thrive as a community, we are structured in a way that balances the need for a shared vision, direction, and guidance with contributors' autonomy to pursue innovative solutions to shared problems.
Leadership
OpenMRS Inc is a charitable non-profit that acts like a “Foundation” to support the OpenMRS Community, such as through applying for grants that support fellowships, dedicated support team time, and events. OpenMRS Inc has a volunteer board including a rotating Community Representative seat elected by the community.
The Global Support Team is a group of people specifically focused every day on supporting the global community of implementers and contributors. This includes Community Management, Grant & Operations Management, Product Management, and Technical Mentors.
