OpenEMR EDU

Hi everyone,

I’d like to get the conversation started around the exciting opportunities we can have with respect to our solution being used in the classroom.

Based on recent requests from a university, Brady began setting up the https://edu.openemr.io/ (bradymiller edit here: this site has been changed to https://edu.open-emr.org/ ) website for academic use cases. I am personally very excited about this because I believe we can have a good impact in the classroom and make good connections in the academic world. Much like my programming classes in college, there was always a lecture and then a lab… I hope we can help with the latter concept.

Here’s what I’m thinking for the website:

HOME PAGE

  • OpenEMR’s feature set
  • Description of OpenEMR as an amazing teaching tool (be sure to mention the fact that it is free and easy to pick up)
  • Description of OpenEMR as a powerful research tool (use screenshots from the cTAKES project, Analytics project, and Joyce’s poster!)
  • Highlights of universities already using OpenEMR in the classroom (GMU, and who else?)
    Inspiring pictures/designs

GETTING STARTED PAGE

  • Information on how to set up a shared cloud instance for your classroom (definitely want to use OpenEMR Cloud Express)
  • Information on how to load in demo data
  • Do we want information on how to load in ICD10 or is that too specific?
  • Encouragements to let the OpenEMR community know that your university is using the solution (this is a bit sticky)

ASSIGNMENTS PAGE

  • 5-10 Printouts of HTML homework assignments based (work with Joyce on this)

Once this is done, we can market the heck out of it with a press release and social media :). It may be worth trying to reach out to some unis, but this is not easy.

Minor logistical change - likely hosting these pages under the main site, not a sub domain

Also, I can tackle the design. With the new website fresh in my head I can knock these pages out pretty quickly.

hi,

Changed the “interim” page with planned/ongoing projects to this:
https://edu.open-emr.org/
(As @robert.down noted, this will be wrapped into the main open-emr.org website at some point)

The original edu.openemr.io will instead point to the actual EDU demos in the future

For now, it appears there will be 2 different type of EDU projects to showcase.

  1. Research projects with companion demos
  2. Instructional projects/demos.

And we have a real world example of each one to work on, so will get started on those.
