Does anyone know where I could get an estimate on the number of OpenEMR deployments?

I would be interested to know if there are more detailed answers in addition to this also.
Best regards!

hey,
This is very tough to figure out because of the nature of this project; we don’t ask for registration and the software is free. That information I placed in the wiki is likely an underestimation since we are only including the deployments that we estimate exist with high confidence. A known number is the number of downloads, which is about 100 times per day; again, though, can’t estimate how many users end up using it.

It might be nice to add a feature (I know there is already a lot of the list) to track the package usage like they do with Debian. It is much easier in the commercial world (except you need to track unlicensed copies). I wanted to use the information to help convince potential users to adopt an open source package. It would also be useful when trying to get regional funding to support deployments.
Thanks.
