OpenEMR is the most popular open-source electronic health records (EHR) and medical practice management application, written in PHP. It offers integrated health records, scheduling, electronic billing, prescriptions, a patient portal, FHIR interoperability, and is ONC certified, running on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Use cases
- manage patient medical records for a clinic
- run medical practice scheduling and billing
- self-host an ONC-certified EHR system
- expose patient data via FHIR APIs
- set up a patient portal for a healthcare practice
- manage prescriptions and clinical decision rules
- deploy an EHR on AWS or Docker
When to choose
- you need a free, open-source EHR/EMR without vendor lock-in
- you need ONC-certified software for US healthcare compliance
- you want self-hosted medical practice management with billing and scheduling
- you need FHIR/SMART-on-FHIR interoperability
When to avoid
- you need a lightweight library to embed in another app rather than a full application
- you lack capacity to host and secure HIPAA-sensitive data yourself
- you need a hospital-scale inpatient system rather than ambulatory practice management
