As a result of better healthcare information technology, countries where OpenMRS is predominantly used have seen a reduction in AIDS infection rates as well as deaths of both AIDS and malaria. Countries such as Kenya, Nigeria, Mozambique, Haiti, Rwanda, and Uganda have widely adopted OpenMRS as their premier EMR platform or have declared it to be their official EMR. OpenMRS, as an open-source project, provides a unique solution which puts local providers and patients at the center of their health information ecosystem. It allows for low-resource settings, in particular, to benefit from the contributions of others while being able to customize and 'own' their own technologies. This is a foundational transformation that allows for local innovation and the development of new solutions to difficult health-related problems. The OpenMRS community accompanies this work with a model that supports community development, capacity building and local ownership.

Security and quality assurance best practices that can contribute to the prevention of adverse impact related to PII are integrated into our development processes and automated as possible. For instance, our OpenMRS Module Release Best Practices (https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/OpenMRS+Module+Release+Best+Practices) includes a section for checking modules for common OpenMRS security issues prior to release. Our Quality Assurance Team (https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/RES/OpenMRS+Quality+Assurance+Support+Team) assists community and implementer teams to improve QA processes and tools.

OpenMRS prides itself on being a friendly and collaborative community. This comes largely from our ability to hold ourselves, and each other, accountable for our behavior with each other. Part of that approach to accountability includes escalating awareness of circumstances that make members of our community feel unequal, uncomfortable, or unsafe. In situations where someone witnesses behaviors in the community that betrays our code of conduct, we encourage individuals to communicate concerns directly with that individual or group. In circumstances where someone is either uncomfortable approaching the individual or group, or feel as if their intervention has been unsuccessful, individuals are encouraged to approach the OpenMRS community management team. See for example the Community Code of Conduct: https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/RES/OpenMRS+Code+of+Conduct
Yes
We do not identify the target age of our contributors, enforce age limits, or provide any parental/guardian controls. Please see the OpenMRS Code of Conduct (https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/RES/OpenMRS+Code+of+Conduct). Note that the OpenMRS community management team considers and decides upon an appropriate penalty based on the severity of the violation. In all instances, both the reporter and violator will be notified of the event, and what action will be taken. Such actions could include one or more of the following: An official warning message on the violation, Temporary or permanent suspension of OpenMRS accounts, Removal of privileges from, or adding restrictions to OpenMRS accounts, Removal of content/contributions, Removal from the OpenMRS community. The Community forum also has tooling members can easily use to alert staff of problematic content or users.
