OpenEMR
Open-source electronic health records and medical practice management software.
OpenEMR is a free, open-source electronic health records and medical practice management application released under the GNU General Public License. It addresses the need for an integrated clinical and administrative system for medical practices, covering patient demographics, scheduling, electronic medical records, prescriptions, medical billing, clinical decision rules, a patient portal, and reporting. It is ONC Certified as an Ambulatory EHR and runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and other platforms, deployable on-premises or in the cloud.
Key capabilities include a patient flow board, e-prescribing, interoperability through CCDA and FHIR (including SMART on FHIR), Direct Messaging, a DICOM medical image viewer, lab integration, and a clinical decision rules engine. Billing supports CPT, HCPCS, ICD-9, ICD-10, and SNOMED codes, 5010 standards, and electronic billing to clearinghouses. Security features include role-based menus, fine-grained per-user access controls, document encryption, and Active Directory support. The system supports over 30 languages with UTF-8 and RTL handling.
OpenEMR is intended for outpatient and inpatient medical practices seeking a self-hosted or cloud-deployed EHR. It is free to download, use, modify, and upgrade, with free documentation and forum support; professional support options are also available. A free fully hosted option is offered for U.S.-based healthcare providers, and a demo is available.
