2. OpenMRS community has come together to specifically
respond to those actively building and managing health systems in
the developing world, where AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria afflict
the lives of millions of people.
Their mission is to improve health care delivery in resource-constrained
environments by coordinating a global community to
create and support this software.

3. The OpenMRS community is a worldwide network of
volunteers from many different backgrounds including technology,
health care, and international development. Together, They're
working to build the world's largest and most flexible technology
platform to support delivery of health care in some of the most
challenging environments on the planet.

4. Although they started out to fix a database
system in a single clinic in Kenya, in the last few years
OpenMRS has grown dramatically to be used both in
research and clinical settings in every corner of the
planet. They're very proud of the innovators using
OpenMRS to improve health care worldwide.

9. Design decisions are driven by real, not perceived needs.
Their software works in the most challenging health care delivery
environments.
They create a platform that is adaptable to the unique needs of
their users around the world.

10. They are open, honest, and transparent in both their processes
and their software.
Their software serves as a platform that empowers both users and
implementers to innovate.
They publicly document and share their knowledge, skills,
experiences, and failures.

11. We believe the best ideas come from people with different
backgrounds and talents, and we build a community where these
people can come together and innovate.
We believe in harnessing the wisdom of our software
development community by creating a safe place to raise concerns,
discuss failures, improve existing ideas, and solve problems.

12. Models exist to implement health IT in a way that decreases
costs, increases capacity, and lessens the disparities between
wealthy and resource-poor environments.
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
care professionals and patients to work together more
effectively.
Medical software helps ease the work of health care providers
and administrators to provide them with the tools to improve
health outcomes all over the world.
