Plan to post questions here that are frequently asked on the forums for OpenEMR version 4.1.

How do I get E-Prescribing working?

If attempting to get Meaningful Use, then need to ensure add Allscripts as a modular element (please ask on the forums if have any questions regarding this). See OpenEMR ePrescribe wiki page for more details.
