Overview

OpenSRP is a FHIR-native medical record system for health workers to manage their patients for child health, maternal health and more. OpenSRP is developed by Ona, a Kenyan social enterprise, with contributions from organizations around the world.

OpenSRP 2, released in 2023, combines WHO health workflows with FHIR to transform how healthcare is delivered and managed.

OpenSRP 2 has three parts: a mobile app for Android devices, a web-based Admin Dashboard, and an Analytics Dashboard.

OpenSRP Android App​

The OpenSRP Android app is used by health workers to:

  1. Enroll community members to a medical record system.
  2. Turn community members into patients by adding them to a care plan associated with their condition.
  3. Set future services a patient should receive based on their care plan, and assign making sure the services happen to health team members as tasks.
  4. Clearly visualize overdue patients so the health team can return them to care.
  5. Track performance of providing services to patients at individual health care practitioner and facility levels.
