Help needed on working openMRS

Hello everyone,

I recently joined in openMRS, Installed openMRS Standalone. I need some help on how to use openMRS, Where exactly I should begin with, how should I participate in the projects. Can anyone please help me out.

thanks, Sridhar.

Hi Sridhar

The answer to your question will depend on your specific interest. There are a lot of things you can do with OpenMRS. Some want to implement it(use in a medical facility), some are just interested in development, some need it for course work, etc. If you are interested in development, the following will be useful to you, https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Getting+Started+as+a+Developer, http://write.flossmanuals.net/openmrs-developers-guide/welcome-to-openmrs/.

If your interest is to implement openmrs, this will be useful to you https://booki.flossmanuals.net/openmrs-guide/.

But from my experience the implementers guide is usually useful for developers to read too. If your interest differ from the above 2, then someone will propose other resources as I proposed what I mostly interact with.

If you just want to get to know the features of openmrs at a nontechnical level, then have a look implementers guide(though its not that nontechnical :slight_smile: )

Hello Ivange,

Thanks for your quick response, I’m learning on how to implement in a Hospital, I’m not from a computer science background and I’m learning it, so that I can find a job on the Health Informatics side.
