Open MRS in Malaysia and Indonesia

[Ungku Zoë Ungku Fa'iz]

Hi,

I am a Google Code-In (GCI) student in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and I am very interested in finding out where OpenMRS is used in my country and neighbouring country, Indonesia. Some of my GCI tasks require me to do research regarding the project and according to the OpenMRS Floss Manual :https://www.flossmanuals.net/openmrs-guide/ on line 29, OpenMRS is used in Malaysia and Indonesia. The Atlas does not show that Malaysia uses it either : https://atlas.openmrs.org/ This really surprised me and intrigued me to find out more about OpenMRS being used in a clinic/clinics in my own country.

Most government clinics here, even in the city still manually record data will thousands of paper files and filing cabinets. Some have integrated EMR but still utilise paper. There's only one "paper-less" hospital here. It would be great to know where OpenMRS is being used in Malaysia because I was also considering paying the clinic(s) a visit to shoot footage as well because I am also completing a promotional video for the new OpenMRS iOS client app recently developed by a fellow GCI participant.

Best regards,
Zoe

Zoe, I have found the same problem with the ‘atlas’ link which I use to update my tracking of OpenmRS implementations for my presentations.  I wonder how this deficiency may be overcome e.g. having a “tracking” function at some point inbuilt into the installation process. Terry

Dear Terry and Zoe,

 

FYI: the Atlas module is bundled with the Reference Application, so we are being more proactive in collecting implementation information than we were previously.  It still is going to require configuration (which is probably good because we wouldn’t want everyone that does a test install of OpenMRS to appear on the Atlas).  See… https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Reference+Application#ReferenceApplication-OpenMRSAtlas

 

If an implementation doesn’t update their information periodically it will automatically fade from the Atlas.  When in the Atlas (https://atlas.openmrs.org) if you click on “View” and uncheck “Fading” it will show you implementations that haven’t been updated recently.  When doing so, it shows a site in Malaysia…

Hope this helps.  Happy New Year to all!

 

Thanks,

I think most of us implementing OpenMRS at one point didn't take collecting facility location information as important as collecting patient data.

Thank you James and Joseph for your replies.

Will try getting in touch with Tenom Hospital.

Dear All implementers,

I'm just an ordinary user of openmrs in a few private medical service in indonesia.

Lack of regional support make us can't spread the usage of openmrs. Our facebook group "Openmrs Indonesia" not-so-much progress from the member.

[Alvin Marcelo]

Dear PM Herlambang,

I am Dr Alvin Marcelo from the Philippines. There are more than one hundred OpenMRS implementations in the Philippines through the University of the Philippines Manila (contact: arturo....@gmail.com who is also in this mailing list). Feel free to post your questions here.

Have you identified clinics who want to use OpenMRS? Pls ask their directors (doctors) to contact me or Dr Anis Fuad (anis...@gmail.com). We can guide them towards making key decisions about how to make the most out of OpenMRS.

For puskesmas, they will want to see if it can generate simpus reports. Dr Anis will be an expert there...Another expert I know is Albert Pratama and Pak Jojok of simpus jojok (the latter have their own system but are good resource persons on the simpus framework).

This implementers mailing list is the perfect place to ask these questions. I do hope that other Asian OpenMRS practitioners reply to your queries as well...

Dear Dr Alvin and Dr Anis,

I am interested to implement openMRS in Vietnam for our telehealth business. Would you be able to direct me with some help?

If you are in Phillipine, will be happy to meet in person in Feb too.

Regards,
Phong.

Hi Phong,

 

My name is Jan Flowers from the University of Washington.  I have been working with the MOH, CDC, and Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) in Vietnam for the past 5 years on OpenMRS implementations in their national-level and provincial-level supported health facilities.  Although the current version is focused on HIV care & treatment, it might help for you to understand what work has already been done and if there is any work you can leverage in your implementation.  The work includes some interesting extensions, including, interoperability with an MPI and Registration system, mHealth integrations for addressing the cascade of care and lost-to-followup, Vietnamese translations, and more.  I would be glad to introduce you to those folks if you would like?

 

Best,

Jan

[TewNut]

Dear Jan,

It is encouraging to see openMRS has some footprints in Vietnam. Certain extensions (interoperability, mHealth and localization) and related implementation experiences are extremely useful and save time for us. Please help connect!

If you are still in VN, it will be good to meet up too.

Regards,

Phong.

Dear Phong,

Dear Alvin,

Sorry for a delay in getting back. I have a family trip to Philippine and was looking for a suitable slot. I have 2 weeks time in Philippine, mostly in Elnido and Parawan, and only 1 day 22 Feb in Manila.

Please let me know if it works for you at 8h00AM on 22 Feb at University of the Philippines Manila. Hope that a Sunday morning would not be much of inconvenience.

We are actually looking for resources to help us develop an mHealth portal on top of openMRS, our preliminary mockups and SRS will be ready end of this month. I suggest we have a video conference call before my trip so that we know how we can collaborate. For a conference call, will 3rd Feb work for you then you may suggest a time...

Regards,

Phong.
