Cooking up an open source EMR for developing countries: OpenMRS - a recipe for successful collaboration

Burke W Mamlin et al. AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2006.

Abstract

Millions of people are continue to die each year from HIV/AIDS. The majority of infected persons (>95%) live in the developing world. A worthy response to this pandemic will require coordinated, scalable, and flexible information systems. We describe the OpenMRS system, an open source, collaborative effort that can serve as a foundation for EMR development in developing countries. We report our progress to date, lessons learned, and future directions.
