What is OpenMRS?
OpenMRS is an electronic medical record system (EMR), designed for use in the developing world and first established in 2004. Today, the system has evolved into a medical informatics platform used on every continent, supporting health care delivery and research in an extremely wide variety of contexts.
More information can be found on:
- The about page (mandatory reading).
- Brief textual guide to OpenMRS (very good for context).
- 16-minute introductory screencast.
- 50-minute tech talk video (2007).
What is the "Concept Proposal Module"?
OpenMRS has a modular architecture which allows functionality to be easily added to or removed from the system. We are developing the concept proposal module, which is well explained on its project page.
How can I help?
We need project managers, developers, translators, QAs, BAs, XDs...
Sign up at Meetup and join us next Tuesday!
If you are familiar with Git and Vagrant, please have a go at setting up the development VM. If you run into difficulties, please contact rdoherty@thoughtworks.com.
