About OpenEMR

Around the globe, medical practices in countries such as Kenya and Argentina help make OpenEMR one of the most popular open-source electronic health record (EHR) solutions. OpenEMR’s broad feature set includes patient demographics, appointments, prescriptions, billing, reports, clinical decision support, lab integration, and free support. ONC Certified with leadership from active board members, OpenEMR strives to be a superior alternative to its proprietary counterparts.

OpenEMR was developed for medical providers, by medical providers. It is maintained and supported by a vibrant community of volunteers and professionals, including several hundred contributors and more than 40 companies. Since its release in 2012, OpenEMR has been used by facilities in more than 100 countries and translated into 34 languages. Over 100,000 medical providers serving more than 200 million patients are estimated to use OpenEMR. Open-source software has changed the world for the better, and OpenEMR is a prime example.
