The OpenMRS NCDs module was developed and piloted in three districts to ascertain the possibility of using it in early detection and management of Hypertension and Diabetes in Rwanda. This paper explored the user experience NCDs module of OpenMRS, an open sources EMR used in health centers of Rwanda. We used two methods to explore the user experience of the system among the nurses: Key informant interviews and observations. We analysed the data using thematic content analysis and drawn upon the views and expectations of the users to experience effective use of the system. We collected the data using the developed and piloted tools. In this study we interviewed 10 nurses and observed how they complete tasks in the system. In general, the nurses found that the system was useful because it simplified patient care and reporting. Some barriers related to the use of the system were slowness of the system, and turnover of trained users. We concluded that during the first 12 months of the pilot of the OpenMRS in 5 hospitals located in three districts, nurses were able to use the system with limited and manageable challenges. However, some challenges related to system design and navigations should be addressed before wider implementation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/shti240590","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,23]],"date-time":"2024-08-23T09:58:20Z","timestamp":1724407100000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Nurses\u2019 Experience of Using an Electronic Medical Records \u2013 OpenMRS Module for the Management of Hypertension and Diabetes in Rwanda: A Qualitative Study"],"prefix":"10.3233","author":[{"given":"Isaac","family":"Ntakirutimana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, Center for Biomedical Engineering and ehealth, Kigali, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dieudonne","family":"Kayiranga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Kigali, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Augustine","family":"Muhirwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Kigali, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel","family":"Nkurunziza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, School of Medicine, and Pharmacy, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel","family":"Sibomana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, School of Business and Economics, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Angelique","family":"Uwamahoro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, School of Health Sciences, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Theophila","family":"Igihozo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, School of Public Health, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amelie","family":"Ndoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, School of Public Health, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel","family":"Niyonshuti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, School of Public Health, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eugene","family":"Rwubaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, School of Public Health, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isdore","family":"Tuyishime","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, School of Public Health, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emma Marie","family":"Umutoniwase","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, School of Public Health, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Mugisha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Rwanda, Center for Biomedical Engineering and ehealth, Kigali, Rwanda"},{"name":"University of Rwanda, School of Public Health, Rwanda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"7437","container-title":["Studies in Health Technology and Informatics","Digital Health and Informatics Innovations for Sustainable Health Care Systems"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/pdf\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI240590","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,23]],"date-time":"2024-08-23T09:58:21Z","timestamp":1724407101000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI240590"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]]},"ISBN":["9781643685335"],"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/shti240590","relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9630","1879-8365"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9630","type":"print"},{"value":"1879-8365","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]]}}}
