FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: RHINO RHINO <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 4:47 PM Subject: Opportunity to create a cloud and mobile-based EMR system based on an open-source platform To: [email protected]
Dear RHINO members, Please see message below from JSS, a health care NGO based in India. A leading healthcare NGO in India, JSS (http://jssbilaspur.org/about/), is building out an electronic medical record system based upon an open-source platform and is looking for a few energetic, talented software programmers / engineers. The aim is to create a cloud and mobile-based EMR system for JSS, the backbone of which will be the open-source package OpenMRS. Due to the nature of JSS's work - the fast pace doctors see patients, the scale of the patient population, the diversity of pathologies - the project is unprecedented, both in India and abroad. Even in the top-ranked hospital systems in the United States very few doctors key in their own patient records, instead still relying on pen and paper. This is because doctors find the user interface of most EMRs slow, cumbersome, and distracting from the doctor-patient interaction. Our aim is to design, build and implement a UI atop OpenMRS that solves this fundamental problem, incorporating voice recognition, handwriting recognition or some other technology to quickly and accurately commit the doctor's note to the electronic patient record in seconds, not minutes. The technology exists. Making it part of a lightweight EMR that functions on an open-source platform, operating on tablet devices, and incorporating other departments within the hospital, such as radiology, pathology and the hospital’s 42-bed in-patient ward is the challenge. The stakes are huge. Right now there are virtually no patient records kept from visit to visit at JSS, and the demand placed on these doctors is so enormous that each patient visit lasts under five minutes. Experience with OpenMRS, along with web experience with Java EE, database experience with MySQL/PgSQL, UI experience with Drupal/Android/iOS/HTML5 and coding experience with Drupal/PHP will be real plus points. Looking for people who can start as soon as possible, though a specific time commitment is not necessary. Must have strong excellent communication skills. JSS operates on a low budget in a resource-constrained environment; however, some compensation is available and will be determined upon skill and experience. Collaborators can be anywhere, but development will be based in New Delhi, India.
