If you just want to get an impression from OpenEMR then try the demo:

or the development demo which will probably have more features but under development:

Uploading your patient’s health vitals is something that is under development now. There are personal medical devices like weighing scale which can upload the data automatically to the patient’s online private electronic health record (EHR). Then OpenEMR can pull it from there and record it on the patient’s EMR.
The government is pouring money to revamp healthcare. The ACO project (accountable care organization) is a new health law that gives incentives to healthcare providers for the quality of healthcare service that they give to their patients.

There are a lot of things going on in the healthcare industry since last year. And it will stay that way for the next decade or so, IMHO. Check out the uemployment rate and the job growth in the healthcare industry.

Your situation is a good fit for a hosted OpenEMR. This way you don’t have to deal with the hassle of figuring out how it works Just login and use it since it will be a web-based application (internet). Let me know and I can hook you up.
