OpenMRS

Ambient scribing for OpenMRS-based health systems

Bring modern ambient AI documentation to teaching hospitals and community health programmes that run on OpenMRS.

OpenMRS is the open-source medical record platform used by teaching hospitals, HIV programmes, and community health projects across Africa, Asia and Latin America. Because deployments are highly customized, no single integration approach fits every site. ScribeMDPro's browser-based ambient workflow works with any OpenMRS deployment out of the box — clinicians consult naturally, and a structured SOAP note is generated for the deploying team to route into the local OpenMRS form of choice. A native integration is planned for a future release — copy-paste and PDF export are supported today.

Documentation challenges we solve

  • Custom OpenMRS form configurations mean no single integration serves every deployment
  • High patient volumes at teaching hospitals crush documentation time
  • Field programmes often rely on paper documentation that later has to be re-keyed

What clinicians gain

  • Works with any OpenMRS deployment without a local IT project
  • Frees clinicians in high-volume public sector environments from real-time typing
  • Notes exportable as PDF for scan-based OpenMRS backfill workflows

How it works

  1. Step 1
    Record with ScribeMDPro

    Capture the encounter ambiently in the browser — no plugin required for OpenMRS users.

  2. Step 2
    Draft the SOAP note

    Structured note appears seconds after the visit ends.

  3. Step 3
    Review and finalize

    Edit inline, then copy the block-formatted note ready for pasting into OpenMRS.

  4. Step 4
    Move into the chart

    Paste directly into OpenMRS progress-note fields, or export as PDF for scan-based workflows.

Frequently asked questions

Does ScribeMDPro require a specific OpenMRS module?

No. The workflow is browser-based and independent of any specific OpenMRS module or form configuration.

Will a native OpenMRS integration be available?

It is planned for a future release, coordinated with implementing organizations.

Is it appropriate for HIV, TB and MCH programme settings?

Yes — the ambient workflow is programme-agnostic; deploying teams choose which OpenMRS form to route the note into.

Does it work offline for outreach clinics?

Currently the transcription pipeline requires connectivity. Offline capture is on the roadmap.
