Subject: Opportunity to create a cloud and mobile-based EMR system based on
an open-source platform
To: rhino@xxxxxxxxxxxxx


 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.

Please send a cover letter and resume to daniel.pepper@xxxxxxxxx
