Our Simple Electronic Medical Record (SEMR) is a web-based application, liberally employing Web 2.0 features
As a web application, it will need to be installed on only one computer. All other computers in your network will be able to access it via browsers, with no further configurations needed
It is designed to run locally, on a computer at the clinic or healthcare facility. Internet outages do not impact availability. The system replicates data to a centralized database when the Internet is available. This replication provides the security of automated backups and portability of the data. Data can be replicated to other facilities. Interconnection of clinics and hospitals can be implemented where legal and all entities are in agreement. Patient privacy is always honored even in locales where the laws do not require this.
We regard patient privacy as a fundimental right and moral obligation on our part!
The system is built using open source components, primarily PHP, Mysql and Apache. As such, our platform can run on Windows, Linux and Mac Operating Systems
The system can be run from a laptop in the middle of nowhere but can be connected to several other computers in a local network, or from a large network running on a powerful server
The platform we have created is a framework of powerful tools that work doing: translation, database synchronization, patient identification and many other tasks. Then we have added modules that are easily created and plug into the framework. Existing modules are: Clinic, Vaccination, Diabetes Management and a Personal Health module. We are working on a Critical Care Infant Feeding module and another for OB care. In addition we will be building the following modules: Dental, Opthalmology, Hospital, and Nutritional Tracking.
We work with all major browsers
