Just wondering if anyone has any idea how many installs of OpenEMR there are? Just curious as to the adoption of the product?
thanks!

It is difficult to count. All of our distribution is through anonymous downloads. I estimate between several hundred to several thousand. I know that I receive and answer emails for help to install, licensing questions and so forth from about 15-20 countries and about 20 states.
Andres Paglayan has previously suggested including a pinging script that pings oemr.org whenever there is an install. We could also ask for a voluntary email on installation.
We definitely need a better way to count successful installations. This is important to the project as a whole because it affects the ability to apply for grants. Sam Bowen, MD
