Uniformity of data collection, categorization and transmittal.
The once-decentralized, haphazard method of healthcare resulted in equally haphazard data, which has been normalized, categorized effectively and is easily transmitted among healthcare providers and organizations.
MJAP
Uniform operational decisions in monitoring, evaluation
The differing and sometimes conflicting operational systems, monitoring systems and evaluation system, which overburdened healthcare providers and organizations, have been standardized, allowing all practitioners and healthcare organizations to learn and adhere to common best practices for operations, monitoring and evaluations.

OpenMRS has replaced...
Under OpenMRS, the typewritten data is uniformly legible and adheres to deeply-detailed record keeping.
NIH
Workable regulation of procedures.
The attempts to regulate procedures absent OpenMRS were a daunting endeavor, with data and standards that were not easily kept, analyzed and improved. With Open MRS, continually improving regulation of continually improving procedures is far more easily accomplished among healthcare providers and organizations.

The focused and tailored tool of Open MRS has proven to be a durable, elastic and easily available instrument for analyzing needs and shortcomings, sharing data and ideas and continually improving healthcare delivery in many geographical areas by healthcare providers and organizations.
