OpenEMR, an open source electronic medical record ("EMR") and practice management application is adopted by two medical clinics, while three additional medical practices announce pilot programs toward an implementation of the most popular open source EMR and practice management application.
Physicians and staff in North Carolina and California are improving care and administrative processes with OpenEMR, an open source application with integrated practice management and electronic medical records. "We have already let go 3 transcriptionists ($40,000 on annual budget). Our paper and toner costs have dropped about 40%. Our filing is all caught up and 'the chart hunt' has improved by about 95%. The staff were immediately impressed with the improved communication in the office. I have been printing office notes for our Urgent Care patients - letting them take a printed note to their primary care physician" comments Dr. Bowen, an OpenEMR user in North Carolina."
