Hello newbie here. Looking forward to installing OpenMRS for an onsite first aid clinic.
Wondering if anyone has successfully installed Open MRS on the AWS platform and if by chance there are any video tutorials how to do so or where the best source of how to on this topic would be.
I previously used another EMR that was essentially loaded onto AWS with a few clicks and security add ons to ensure HIPPA compliance. However, seeing this one I much prefer the options. However, I am not a tech or programming guru. Have some knowledge and still learning.
2018: A community member sharing how they set up OMRS on AWS: OpenMRS and AWS Instances (and actually here is a whole number of forum posts about it too, here at the aws topic label)
I hope this helps as a starting place - please do let us know here if you are still stuck. This is a helpful reminder that we can continue to make instructions for things like this more clear.
May I ask out of curiosity, which was this alternative? Very curious to see how their few-clicks workflow goes. And, could you share which options you prefer? It helps us to know what we are doing right
Hi Grace,
Thanks so much for the response. I saw some ot the info but will wade thru it all to ensure I understand it before deploying it. As for the OpenMRS I really like you can create your own custom forms and it has the formbuilder to do so. I also like the appearance and how streamlined and modern it is and as I went thru the demo it was ease. Which once set up it appears the learning curve for any nurses that follow it may be much easier. I will have to get you the workflow on the other tomorrow. It’s a nice program kind of but looks were very antiquated. A bit clunky and it to was very limited on how to on the AWS platform. Sparse hit and miss info.
Hi Grace,
Yes this and the other log in appointment areas portion very neat clean easy to read and navigate. Forgot to mention I also like the already integrated FHIR
Have received a client who also needs me to install OpenMRS on AWS, am not sure if i can still follow along the same procedure or you came up with a more streamlined solution.
Basically they will need a few EMR modules to help in clinics and what surprised me is that they have a wordpress front end functionality that they would need on top of the modular architecture, not sure how feasible this is?
Generally, their first goal is to have me install an EC2 instance of Openmrs in the their AWS account and review their current WP website for transfer into their AWS account for the ultimate user experience and security.
What do you normally follow as partnering procedure especially with Digital Health startup companies that need to use OpenMRS?
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
So the user name and password you provided (or implicitly provided) to create the database is invalid. Basically, exactly what it says in the red text.
Tried upgrading EC2 instance JRE to one corresponding to the class files i.e openjdk version “11.0.18” 2023-01-17
but it has failed to deploy throwing same error. Am i missing some combatibility issues concerning the refapp
Yes, that’s correct. We have recently released an AMI that can greatly simplify the process of getting OpenMRS 2 up and running quickly on AWS EC2. All you need to do the is run an EC2 instances based on the AMI. When going through the initial setup, use the EC2 instance ID generated by AWS as the database password.
It comes with a free trial.
We appreciate all user feedback from users and if you are willing to give it try and share your feedback with us, we can extend the trial period as well as give over 50% discounts.
On a side note, we are currently working on setting up an AMI with OpenMRS 3 as well.
