Just a caution based on experience - some of the databases in OpenEMR have logical linkages to others which MUST be coordinated or the data will be inaccessible in OpenEMR. Dumping the demographics into OpenEMR was pretty simple, but dumping the Insurance info was never workable.
Rod & Brady; Is it maybe time to think about a data loader which could allow new users to map their current data fields in a CSV to that loader (as I did with Dr Bowen’s loader), and then the loader would perform all the linkages to put it into the OpenEMR database set? If there are others who are also fed up with the expense of other systems, or other reasons, at least THAT impediment would be withdrawn from their reluctance. And changing TO OpenEMR from another system is far better testimonial than could ever be obtained from new users alone.
