Introduction

Open-source Medical Record System (OpenMRS) is a software application that’s used to maintain patient profiles, visits, encounters, diagnoses, drug orders, drug dispensing, drug administration, clinical observations, lab orders, radiology orders, procedure orders, and their results. These are supported by a rich concept dictionary that represents medical terminology. While these will be required in a full-fledged EMR, they can also be scaled down for disease management.

OpenMRS is implemented around the world, in countries including South Africa, Kenya, Rwanda, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Uganda, Tanzania, Haiti, India, China, United States, Pakistan, the Philippines, and many other places.
