TRANSCRIPT
MissionOur aim is to improve health
care delivery in resource-
constrained environments by
coordinating a global
community that creates a
robust, scalable, user-driven,
open source medical record
system platform.
Vision• 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 improve health outcomes all over the
world.
