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 under-served 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.
