Time and effort are needed, plus someone will need to keep track of bug fixes and new edition releases. For this reason, I have transferred my solo OpenEMR to cloud services and have been pleased.
FWIW, it appears that there are several additions to the program specific to OB/Gyn, I have not looked at them in detail but I know I have seen them.
Putting the program on a cloud allows practitioners to do medicine. Some tweaking of preferences will be needed initially, but one has to do this with a lot of programs anyway. The alternative, which I considered, was to set up my own server and have a part-time IT friend and co-worker available if glitches occurred. This will run you into some money for the server and the programming associated with it. Since I speak Windows and Mac but not server (!), I opted for a cloud subscription.
Due to data-mining issues, I would suggest staying away from some of the other "free" programs.

i would like to implement OpenEmr for some clinics in Ghana. Can you advise
on cloud subscription?
thanks,

Nana- Be aware that, with OpenEMR in the cloud, if your internet connection is down, you don’t have medical records. You would want a really reliable internet connection if you are going to put it in the cloud I think.
I don’t mean to be critical of Gana’s infrastructure. In my previous clinic in the US (where we did not use OpenEMR), our internet connection was down frequently, so it made me think about this issue. For this reason, in my new office, I have my OpenEMR installation on a server in the office. It’s very fast that way too. I pay MI-Squared to provide support, which they do remotely.
