This is for a class project so I only need the roughest of help. We are to plan a project for an openemr implementation. It is a single site, 4 doctors, 100 patients a day. I have no idea what sort of hardware it would take to power this. Or any notion of database size. Any rough suggestion or pointer to information would be great. TIA.

Install latest version of OpenEMR on your computer.
Windows of Ubuntu it all works.
Open your browser
Login en there you go: Localhost/openemr
Make a doctor with all permissions
Make 2300 clients since this doctor has a small practice.
Tell the doctor to see his client……. so you might want to give some clients an appointment for a day or all ten clients for some days……
Tell your home physician to start working with OpenEMR since it is a lot better than the program he is uysing now…… hahahaha………
Tell us your succes story or where you got problems making OpenEMR work for 1 doctor and 2300 patients.

Matt,
The hardware requirements are not that extensive, which is just part of the beauty of OpenEMR.
The bill for the hardware was less than $400 (mobo, case, mem, hd)
Lots of memory helps, obviously you don’t want to be using any virtual memory.
I used 8Gig but you could go with 2Gig just fine.
We typically have 4 users on at a time and about 1,000 patient records.
Here’s what our server o/s and hardware looks like;
Main board ASRock E350 running headless (no gui)
Operating system Ubuntu Linux 11.10
Kernel and CPU Linux 3.0.0-31-server on x86_64
Processor information AMD E-350 Processor, 2 cores
System uptime 8 days, 0 hours, 29 minutes
Running processes 85
CPU load averages 0.11 (1 min) 0.25 (5 mins) 0.17 (15 mins)
CPU usage 0% user, 0% kernel, 0% IO, 100% idle
Real memory 7.44 GB total, 436.38 MB used
Regards,
David

For 4 doctors you have to setup a network. And make OpenEMR available through the network and this you can do with most available browsers…

To Blankev’s second post, thank you though I did understand that. To hitechelp, thank you that is exactly what I needed. (And what is an Elp?) To Blankev’s first post, huh? Was that supposed to go elsewhere?
blankev wrote on Thursday, February 21, 2013:
I can’t find Elp in this part of the forum. What you did not mention, and became obvious, was the fact that all four doctor work in the same practice and share the same client information. But even seeing each other’s client medical information can be avoided with the proper settings in OpenEMR.
Tell us about your success story and let us know how YOU did solve the backup and synchronization problems if there were any and** after a disaster**, how you did manage to restore the backup.

$634.00 us total including shipping… I know its overkill but it will last this small practice for about 10 years lol….
I also run OPENMRS on my test linux machine runnning a intel P4 4.ghz (10 years old) with 2gb of ddr ram =) woohooo and it actually works great on that shit system… so got a buddy who doesnt use his netbook ? borrow it from him you can run what your trying to do off a netbook LOL
