Innovative free Electronic Health Record (EHR) System unveiled for short-term medical missions

Short-term medical/surgical missions (STMMs) are crucial for improving access to surgery and anesthesia in underserved areas worldwide.

We’ve developed a new open-source Electronic Health Record (EHR) software specifically for these missions to address current limitations and safety concerns. Our software includes advanced safety features like QR codes for accurate patient identification and clear systems for follow-up and preventing duplicate care. It’s designed specifically for surgical and perioperative care during short-term missions, which sets it apart from EHRs used in general medical missions. This user-friendly, secure EHR software enhances surgical care during missions, supports ongoing follow-up, and aids in analyzing mission outcomes afterward.
