Thanks. This is one of the best unbiased comparisons that I have seen for a long time comparing any two EMRs.
When I was searching for a out-of-the-box EMR to be installed in my Macbook I ended up with two choices - this is end of 2014. OpeEMR and OpenMRS I had little time to spend as I needed an EMR to practice in Sri Lanka (what I was used to in Australia). So i went for OpenEMR. At that time I had to do a significant amount of work to get it working to suit the SL primary care or Family Practice. I had given up programming about15 years ago with my clinical and research background and OpenEMR was my choice. I do not regret it even for a moment. My favourite is the past consultations (I have pts with up to 16) that shows up one line per consultation and even the clinical notes in SOAP format can be read without going into each consultation.
However when I wanted to make changes and had some computer software students to look into the OpenEMR code - this was an huge problem. Very few could untangle the code and I had to depend on just one extremely clever student who could do a the basic changes I need. I have the ICPC2, drugs we use in SL generic-brand now in OpenEMR. Its running in VPS and I have no complains.
Few people keep telling me about the data model of OpenMRS, development speed and the community plus the University links makes me now think of OpenMRS.
I have even not attempted to do any changes. However I was impressed when I took only 15 min to install OpenMRS in my MacBook -that was great!
Again Thank you for all the information
