1. HEALTH IT FOR THE WORLD.

2. ABOUT US & OUR MISSION
Open MRS is a collaborative open source project to develop
software to help support the delivery of health care in
developing countries.
Our MISSION is to improve health care delivery in resource-
constrained environments
WE ENVISION A WORLD WHERE:
– Medical software helps ease the work of health care providers and
administrators decreasing the costs.
– Open standards enable people to use health IT systems to share
information and reduce effort.
– Concepts and processes can be easily shared to enable health
professionals and patients to work together more effectively.

3. OUR TECHNOLOGY STACK
Open MRS is a Java-based web application capable of
running on laptops in small clinics or large serves for
nation-wide use.
Add-on modules created by users allow functionality.
Modular architecture allows an easy customization
to local health care needs, and reduces the need for
custom programming.

4. WHAT WE DO
Information is stored in a way that makes it easy to summarize
and analyze.
The software gathers a patient’s
treatment details into a single
patient chart. Having this complete
patient’s history available in one
place empowers clinicians to make
better decisions, also allowing a
deeper analysis of the situation.
