OpenMRS is an open-source framework for building electronic medical record systems in developing countries. It enables organizations to build and manage health care systems where AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria afflict the lives of millions.
While the framework is quite powerful, it can be difficult for non-expert users to install. I have developed the OpenMRS Appliance to simplify the process. The virtual appliance (also known as a virtual machine) is a fully pre-installed and pre-configured application and operating system environment. All users do is double click it to start using OpenMRS. Uninstalling is even easier, simply delete the virtual appliance folder. If you wanted to try the newest OpenMRS 1.5 release, it is now only a few clicks away. http://change.washington.edu/2009/09/openmrs-now-installable-with-a-double-click/
