KenyaEMR Server Optimization Guide

Many facilities, especially large volume facilities, have reported EMR server performance issues when accessing their KenyaEMR instance. Some of the performance issues reported include slow response when retrieving patient information, slow execution of reports and in some adverse cases, users experienced a lag while logging into the system. While some of these issues can be attributed to structural design of EMR, most of them are as result of misconfigurations in the EMR dependencies (Java, MySQL, Tomcat). This guide outlines the requisite configuration that may help improve your EMR performance for a better user experience.
