OPAL is designed to make writing transactional digital services for a clnical environment easy.
It builds on established Open Source technologies with a track record of helping developers build easy to maintain, robust applications.
Most notably, it makes use of Django Angular JS and Bootstrap.
From there, OPAL provides you with a common batteries-included architecture for writing healthcare applications, and a composable modular framework that takes advantage of generic, re-usable components.
OPAL is an entirely Open (Source & Governanceissues) as are the wide library of plugins.
OPAL was created by Open Health Care UK, because it makes Healthcare IT Less Bad.
We'd love you to get involved by using what we make, reporting bugs/suggesting improvements, and fixing bugs/making improvements. Please refer to the CONTRIBUTING file.
The documentation is a work in progress.
We'd love any feedback or contributions to it !
