OpenMRS Community

OpenMRS is a global community of dedicated, talented, and generous contributors.

We believe with the coordination of a global community of committed contributors, we can substantially improve the health of underserved populations by enhancing the utilization of health information. We share a common mission, vision, and values to enable broad scale successful use of electronic medical record systems in diverse care settings. 

To help us thrive as a community, we are structured in a way that balances the need for a shared vision, direction, and guidance with contributors' autonomy to pursue innovative solutions to shared problems.
