Demo

The OpenMRS demo is designed to give you a taste of OpenMRS from an implementers point of view. It is a fully working copy of OpenMRS with nearly 500,000 actual observations on about 10,000 anonymized patients. Log in using the username admin and the password test to examine all of OpenMRS's features as the "Super User" containing all rights and privileges.

Demo "Quickstart"

The database underneath the demo webapp is automatically reset daily, so both feel free to make any and all changes that you want and also don't assume any of your modifications will persist.

Find/Create Patient

• The first search box on the screen will let you find and select a current patient in the system. After searching for a patient, you can click on his or her row to look at the patient's dashboard; it contains detailed patient information, including looking at records of clinical visits, demographic information, graphs and medical forms. Some example patient names that you can search for are:
  • John Mamwa Shavola
  • Emon Emirio Kareng'Ag
  • Fredoh Eyen Chepleting
• To fill out an encounter form on a patient, click the "Forms" tab on their dashboard and choose a form and select the download option for "Open with ... Microsoft Infopath".
• This page also lets you create a patient. Use the lower portion of the screen to start the patient creation process.

Dictionary

OpenMRS is built around an extensible concept framework. Simply put, this means that all patient readings, facts and observations are stored in a database, editable by the implementer, and not hard-coded into the database schema. You can use the dictionary interface to either look at the 2000+ preinstalled concept definitions, or you can use it to write you own. If you'd like to search for concepts, some good complicated examples are:

• VACCINATIONS
• HIV
• CURRENT WHO STAGE

Cohort Builder

The Cohort Builder is another way to search through an OpenMRS medical database. Rather than looking at an individual patient's record, you can use the Cohort Builder to find associations between patients by searching for all patients meeting certain criteria. In the Cohort Builder, enter one of the definitions in your dictionary, such as the ones listed above, and select a reading from the drop-down list to find all patients matching that reading.

Administration

The Administration tab provides direct links to all of the features accessible through the other tabs, as well as database and system management interfaces. The best way to learn about these features is to try them out. Remember, this is a demo, reset daily -- feel free to try everything!

My Profile

The My Profile tab allows you to change your user information. It is pretty intuitive, but you can look around if you'd like.
