Medical record system
Since the 1970s, this group has been developing the Regenstrief Medical Records System, one of the earliest electronic medical record systems (EMR). This system serves as the production electronic medical records system at Wishard Hospital and its community clinics and other institutions.
Open source medical records system
Regenstrief, in collaboration with Partners In Health (Boston) and MRC (South Africa), helped to found the OpenMRS, an open source effort to build a framework for electronic medical records development in resource poor areas. OpenMRS was selected as Google Summer of Code 2007 project.
