Description
OpenEyes is a collaborative, open source, project led by the Apperta Foundation (http://openeyes.apperta.org). The goal is to produce a framework which will allow the rapid, and continuous development of an electronic patient record (EPR for ophthalmology in particular and eye care in general). Clinical and technical contributions are made by Hospitals, Institutions, Academic departments, Companies, and Individuals.
The initial focus is on Ophthalmology, but the design is sufficiently flexible to be used for any clinical specialty.
Ophthalmic units of any size, from a single practitioner to a large eye hospital, should be able to make use of the structure, design, and code to produce a functional, easy to use EPR at minimal cost. By sharing experience, pooling ideas, and distributing development effort, it is expected that the range and capability of OpenEyes will evolve rapidly. OpenEyes should also be of value for use by non-medical staff such as optometrists in the delivery of shared programs of eye care.

Issues in the core should be logged through the github issues system.
Please be aware that no service level agreement exists for the open source project and no support can be given via github. The team will do their best to fix any critical issues reported, but no guarantees are given.
Official implementation and support is available from our Accredited Professional Services Partner Network. A list of available partners can be found at the following link openeyes.apperta.org.
Resources
This is the main repository for development of the core OpenEyes framework. Event type modules are being developed in other repositories both by ourselves and Accredited Contributors. You may also be interested in our EyeDraw repository; this code is used by OpenEyes but may also be used independently.
