OpenMRS releases SMART Module
SMART and OpenMRS are proud to announce the initial release of a SMART module for OpenMRS.
This module expands the reach of the SMART API by allowing apps to run (unmodified!) on the open-source Open Medical Record System. It also provides a lightweight interface for developers who want to extend the functionality of OpenMRS.
Work on this module began as a Google Summer of Code project and continued through the fall with support from the OpenMRS team.
The initial release provides developers access to the SMART Connect API in OpenMRS. SMART REST API support is planned for a future release.
