Feedback on GuideStar mission description

@jeffneiman,

Thanks for finding and updating the GuideStar entry for OpenMRS, Inc. The current mission description feels a little rough. For example, the word “this” in the first sentence is unexpected:

Founded in 2006, the mission of OpenMRS is to improve health care delivery in resource-constrained environments by coordinating a global community to create and support this software. The global OpenMRS community works together to build the world’s leading open source enterprise electronic medical record system platform. We’ve 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.

Here’s a slightly revised version to consider:

Founded in 2006, the mission of OpenMRS is to improve health care delivery in resource-constrained environments by coordinating a global community around meaningful and locally useful software solutions. The global OpenMRS community works together to build the world’s leading open source enterprise electronic medical record system platform in support of those actively building and managing health systems in the developing world, where AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria afflict the lives of millions of people.

I realize that we are consciously being ambiguous between “OpenMRS” and “OpenMRS Inc” in this description, since it gets used in different contexts that include both of these.

thanks for the update and recommended changes. We will modify! terry
