Open Source Medical Records

By John Locke on July 30, 2005

Putting together a proposal for a potential client, we've unearthed a couple of cool Electronic Medical Record (EMR) applications. First, the original OpenEMR, apparently started with PostNuke and customized to provide extensive capabilities for managing an office.

Now there's also Clear Health. Clear Health has the benefit of a former OpenEMR developer's experience, and the interface has been greatly cleaned up and enhanced with AJAX to make it clean, usable, and fast. Open source version here.

I've been trying to convince

I've been trying to convince my brother about open source medical software. He is a senior programmer for a software development company that sells proprietary medical practice management software. I'll be showing him these! btw, loved the book! -Filipe
