The EHR used was OPENMRS, an open-source EHR available with a multitude of modules implemented. OPENMRS uses the MySQL database, backend coded in JAVA, using Apache Tomcat as server and JavaScript as user interface. The interface engine, MIRTH was used for health information exchange between the EHRs. HAPI-FHIR is an open source framework available in JAVA which was being used by the FHIR interface. According to Meaningful Stage 2 Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) comprises of 70 documents sections, this project was also to know that how many of them are being currently supported by OPENMRS. A sample HL7 and FHIR message was generated within the OPENMRS and was being transferred to a different one, where data being saved in MySQL.
