Looking to hear from OpenEMR Users. Looking at possibly utilizing in a college setting . Do you like it? Is it reliable, what kind of support do you utilize? Did you choose to educate yourselves or contract out?

In short: It is a great learning tool. With or without real patient input.

What do you like to do: Make it something like a “get in touch with the world of EMR” or something more challenging like “why did you neglect the ALARM” when the client needed to be seen en needed another medication for their treatment, since there is an Allergy visible in the summary…

Why don’t you start with one of the many DEMO versions and a select group of pupils and see what can be accomplished?

Make a list of what do you need, what is missing and why is the reset of every morning a pain in the … if you want to make a continuity in time over a longer period for the patient.

So we can discuss, if it is already included but hidden for daily use.

This project is amazing. The UI is slightly outdated, but that’s being worked on by a member of the community. It’s also small potatoes compared to the EMR disaster I dealt with prior to OpenEMR.

The only downtime I’ve experienced was from an extended power outage before our failover system was in place. No problems since (knock on wood). I use the forum for support when needed, but enjoy the learning process of tinkering around for a customization or fix. If that’s too daunting for you, there is a great list of professional support options at http://open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR_Professional_Support

Edit: Fixed support link

We currently provide this as a service to various colleges and universities. Great learning tool. I was even an active professor at one of these institutions.

Be sure to have your students send back their experiences so we can improve where needed for our prospective USERS of whatever specialty.

Good luck!

Also, quite a few community colleges and the University of Texas HIT post grad programs all use OpenEMR formally in there course work.

Besides U of T, who else?

Is this a personal communication or part of a study?

Is there an academic citation?

In planning for the MU3 grant proposal, it would great to have a big list of the institutions to stress the educational value of the Project aside from that to healthcare.

200 big ones, all at once, will be better than a little dribble here & a few droplets there, in our last funding campaign.
