This page is our online repository of the many studies conducted exploring OpenMRS. Collectively, these studies provide strong evidence for a variety of use cases: the impact of EMR use on care, secondary data use for site or regional or global program guidelines improvement, and the community open source model. The OpenMRS Community maintains the OpenMRS Evidence Base and adds new studies as they are discovered.
Over 4,050 publications are noted online involving OpenMRS - search query here.
Note
This page began in August 2023. We are communally updating this with the thousands of articles published on OpenMRS, strongly prioritizing recent articles from within the last few years.
