Source Available

OpenEMR makes its source code available to its customers. Why would we give away something so valuable, so personal that we have spent so much time perfecting? Because by making the source available everybody wins. Below are only a few of the many benefits our clients reap from our policy of making the source available.

Increased code quality and security. With the source code available, computer programmers and other professionals can easily evaluate the quality and security of the code.

As the code is made available to more and more people, the more it is open to scrutiny by computer scientists and programmers. As more people evaluate the software any potential flaws or bugs are found and quickly eliminated.

Decreased dependence on a single vendor. Our clients aren't tied to a single vendor and subjected to their whims. You are in control - you do not need to pay the vendor for a needless upgrade, for a long-term maintainenance contract or to continue support for an "out-dated" product. You have all of the source code. Your technology staff, local consultants or any one you choose can support the product, assist with changes or make modifications and upgrades. A variety of external vendors can supply training and support providing you long-term peace of mind.

Reduced acquisition cost. There are no licensing fees or huge capital expenses to purchase openEMR. It is available to download and demo.

Increased customizability. Your business is unique, your needs are your own. We understand that and have built openEMR to be completely customizable, totally flexible and entirely compatible. The open source allows complete control from the user interface to the base functionality. Every aspect can be focused to your unique needs and desires - creating a superior product and increasing productivity throughout the business.

Bottom line - making the source code available leaves you in control. You are empowered with the ability to choose your destiny (and even modify it along the way.)

Most importantly, at openEMR, we believe it increases customer satisfaction, client loyalty and ultimately happy users.
