Overview
Articles to convince users why open source emrs are better than proprietary emrs by 1) defining open source software, 2) describing why open source EMR's are better than proprietary EMR's, 3) describing how to find a vendor/support and 4) showing examples of OpenEMR working in practices.
Define open source software and describe why open source EMR's are better than proprietary EMR's.
- This subject is discussed on the following pages/websites:
- Specifically, the 'What is Open Source' and 'Why use an Open Source EMR' sections.
- This will always be a work in progress. For any input, please post in any of the OpenEMR Forums.
- This is a work in progress and is actively discussed in the following OEMR organization forum here: http://www.oemr.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22

Discuss how to choose vendor/support
- Looking through the Commercial Support web page is an option.
- Main issue is how do new users know which one to choose.
- Asking for recommendations is likely a more effective option. For example, emailing (or even posting on sourceforge to keep open) what a user is looking for, which is then followed by recommendations from the community.
- Main issue is potential for bias.
