@charchabilHave you tried this [https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Metadata+Deploy+Module](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Metadata+Deploy+Module)
and [https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Metadata+Sharing+Module](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Metadata+Sharing+Module)

Metadata sharing is only for metadata (concepts, encounter types, forms, etc). There are some other solutions for @charchabil for patient data. @cioan?

For the PIH EMR in Haiti we created couple Angular apps that allowed us to [export](https://github.com/PIH/openmrs-module-pihcore/blob/master/omod/src/main/webapp/pages/export/exportPatients.gsp) a patient data(demographics, visits , encounters and obs) to a JSON file. Then we used another [import](https://github.com/PIH/openmrs-module-pihcore/blob/master/omod/src/main/webapp/pages/export/importPatients.gsp) page to import that patient record into a different EMR system. For both operations, the export and import we used the OpenMRS REST API. The big assumption is that the system metadata is the same on the source and the destination EMR.

@cioan did you guys employ this also [https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-dataexchange](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-dataexchange)?@charchabil did you find a solution to your problem and , did you also look at [https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-dataexchange](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-dataexchange)

@charchabilDo you mind upgrading your openmrs to at least 1.9.9 and retry,then get back to me and also have you tried reference application to avoid version incompatibility problems,because it ships with a couple of compatible modules… CC.@raff
