Some of the key features of OpenMRS include:
Configurable for Any Clinical Program
Flexible and configurable for any clinical area. Today OpenMRS is used in a wide variety of areas: from Primary Care for Outpatients; to Specialty Centers for NCD, MCH/ANC, HIV, TB, Malaria, COVID, and more; to large Hospital-based Inpatient care.
Clinical Documentation, Diagnosis Tracking, and Flexible Forms
Triage and track your patients’ history. Write orders electronically. Create and customize all the forms your providers might need, for any clinical area. Non-developers can build new forms easily with the user-friendly Form Builder.
Registration, Appointments, Queues, Billing and Stock
Manage your patient lists and bookings in one location or across multiple sites. Connect your registration to national patient databases. Handle bills, inventory, labs, and dispensing directly or though integration.
Interoperable Locally and Nationally
The OpenMRS REST and FHIR APIs enable integration with other end-user tools, such as ERP Systems, Lab Systems, DHIS2, and more; or, with National Health Exchanges.

Role-based access and deeper permissions granularity, such as by location or data types. Audit logging enables follow up on actions taken.
