OpenEMR
Free and open-source electronic health records
Overview
OpenEMR stands apart in the EHR landscape as a fully open-source platform that gives practices complete control over their software and data. Backed by a global community of developers and healthcare organizations, OpenEMR offers a surprisingly robust set of features including clinical documentation, billing, scheduling, e-prescribing, and a patient portal. Because the software itself is free, practices only pay for hosting, support, and any customization they need. This makes OpenEMR an attractive option for practices with technical resources who want maximum flexibility and zero vendor lock-in. The platform is ONC certified and used by healthcare facilities in over 100 countries worldwide.
