Finally, other popular 'open source' EHR systems in use across Asia and the Pacific Rim include OpenEMR, OpenMRS, and HOSxP.
- It has been estimated that there are more than 5,000 installations of OpenEMR in physician offices and other small healthcare facilities across the U.S. serving more than 30 million patients. Further, conservative estimates by the OpenEMR Organization (OEMR) indicate that OpenEMR is installed in over 15,000 healthcare facilities around the world, translating into more than 45,000 practitioners using the system serving approximately 90 million patients.
- As of 2012, OpenMRS was in use at over 100 facilities in more than 30 countries and had been used to create medical records on over 2 million patients being treated around the world.
- HOSxP is an open source client/server hospital information system currently used in over 300 hospitals in Thailand.
Don't forget to read related articles about 'open source', 'open data', 'open access', and 'open standards' in nations across Asia, India, and the Pacific Rim that have been posted on Open Health News (OHN).
Open Health News (OHN) plans on releasing a comprehensive report on the VistA Market in September with detailed information on VistA deployments state-by-state across the U.S., as well as in countries overseas, e.g. India, Jordan, Mexico, etc. Also, Peter Groen, Senior Editor at OHN, will be presenting more on the subject and the associated VistA Installations GIS Map & Database v.1.0 at the upcoming OSEHRA Summit meeting.
