We present a new open-source Android application, AccessMRS, for interfacing with an electronic medical record system (OpenMRS) and loading 'Smart Forms' on a mobile device. AccessMRS functions as a patient-centered interface for viewing OpenMRS data; managing patient information in reminders, task lists, and previous encounters; and launching patient-specific 'Smart Forms' for electronic data collection and dissemination of health information. We present AccessMRS in the context of related software applications we developed to serve Community Health Workers, including AccessInfo, AccessAdmin, AccessMaps, and AccessForms. The specific features and design of AccessMRS are detailed in relationship to the requirements that drove development: the workflows of the Kenyan Ministry of Health Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) supported by the AMPATH Primary Health Care Program. Specifically, AccessMRS was designed to improve the quality of community-based Maternal and Child Health services delivered by CHVs in Kosirai Division. AccessMRS is currently in use by more than 80 CHVs in Kenya and undergoing formal assessment of acceptability, effectiveness, and cost.
我们展示了一款新的开源安卓应用程序AccessMRS，用于与电子病历系统（OpenMRS）对接，并在移动设备上加载“智能表单”。AccessMRS作为以患者为中心的界面，用于查看OpenMRS数据；在提醒、任务列表和既往诊疗记录中管理患者信息；以及启动针对特定患者的“智能表单”以进行电子数据收集和健康信息传播。我们在为社区卫生工作者开发的相关软件应用程序（包括AccessInfo、AccessAdmin、AccessMaps和AccessForms）的背景下介绍AccessMRS。AccessMRS的具体功能和设计是根据推动其开发的需求详细阐述的：由AMPATH初级卫生保健项目支持的肯尼亚卫生部社区卫生志愿者（CHV）的工作流程。具体而言，AccessMRS旨在提高科西拉伊分区的社区卫生志愿者提供的基于社区的孕产妇和儿童保健服务的质量。目前，肯尼亚有80多名社区卫生志愿者在使用AccessMRS，并且该应用程序正在接受关于可接受性、有效性和成本的正式评估。
