Original Article Healthc Inform Res. 2019 April;25(2):89-98. https://doi.org/10.4258/hir.2019.25.2.89 pISSN 2093-3681 • eISSN 2093-369X Comparison of Open-Source Electronic Health Record Systems Based on Functional and User Performance Criteria Saptarshi Purkayastha1, Roshini Allam1, Pallavi Maity1, Judy W. Gichoya2 1Department of BioHealth Informatics, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN, USA 2Dotter Institute, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR, USA Objectives: Open-source Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems have gained importance. The main aim of our research is to guide organizational choice by comparing the features, functionality, and user-facing system performance of the five most popular open-source EHR systems. Methods: We performed qualitative content analysis with a directed approach on recently published literature (2012–2017) to develop an integrated set of criteria to compare the EHR systems. The functional criteria are an integration of the literature, meaningful use criteria, and the Institute of Medicine’s functional requirements of EHR, whereas the user-facing system performance is based on the time required to perform basic tasks within the EHR system. Results: Based on the Alexa web ranking and Google Trends, the five most popular EHR systems at the time of our study were OSHERA VistA, GNU Health, the Open Medical Record System (OpenMRS), Open Electronic Medical Record (OpenEMR), and OpenEHR. We also found the trends in popularity of the EHR systems and the locations where they were more popular than others. OpenEMR met all the 32 functional criteria, OSHERA VistA met 28, OpenMRS met 12 fully and 11 partially, OpenEHR-based EHR met 10 fully and 3 partially, and GNU Health met the least with only 10 criteria fully and 2 partially. -

Implementing an Open Source EMR in a Nursing Informatics Course
Implementing an Open Source EMR in a Nursing Informatics Course Nina Multak Emad Khazraee Michelle Rogers Prudence Dalrymple [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Drexel University Abstract Electronic medical record (EMR) systems are being implemented widely in hospital and office based settings. This technology is becoming a standard documentation modality for inpatient and outpatient clinical settings. While practicing clinicians have learned to use these systems with the benefit of institutional or practice based training, the educational benefit of providing EMR training to students prior to their exposure to the clinical environment has not been widely explored. This preliminary research evaluated multiple EMR systems for educational use in a nursing school curriculum. EMR training including classroom lectures, computer based training sessions and practice with interdisciplinary medical simulation are incorporated in this educational program, providing students access to an EMR system before using one with actual patients. The ADDIE model of systemic instructional design was utilized for this study. Additionally, deliberate practice, an evidence-based construct grounded in information processing and behavioral theories of skill acquisition and maintenance guided the design of this study. Preliminary results reveal a high level of learner interest and satisfaction with the training methodology. Further exploration of EMR systems and the impact this component has on nursing education and practice are planned. Keywords: education, EMR, simulation, documentation Introduction The Institute of Medicine Committee on Data Standards for Patient Safety reports evidence that improved clinical efficiencies, patient safety, and quality care outcomes can be promoted by having an effectively structured and implemented EMR1. -

Currently, there are over 50 open source EHR systems available. Functionality and usability are important factors for determining the success of any system. These factors are often a direct reflection of the domain knowledge and developers' motivations. However, few published studies have focused on the characteristics of free and open source software (F/OSS) EHR systems and none to date have discussed the motivation, knowledge background, and demographic characteristics of the developers involved in open source EHR projects. Objective: This study analyzed the characteristics of prevailing F/OSS EHR systems and aimed to provide an understanding of the motivation, knowledge background, and characteristics of the developers. Methods: This study identified F/OSS EHR projects on SourceForge and other websites from May to July 2014. -
Fred Trotter
NCVHS Testimony on Meaningful Use April 28th, 2009 Today I will present this testimony to the National Committee on Vital Health and Statistics (NCVHS) Good morning. My name is Fred Trotter. Introduction I represent a community of health software developers and clinical users that respect software freedom. This community operates in the legacy of the VA VistA underground railroad. There are several important commercial EHR vendors that respect software freedom they are an important part of our community but they are only a part and certainly not a majority. While FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) vendors are critical to our community. I hope to convince you today that the notion of ‘vendors’ is too small for the task of computerizing healthcare. I hope to convince you that we need an open software community to solve this problem. I believe this because this is the only thing that has substantially worked so far and that given the magnitude of this problem, this is the only thing that has any chance of working in the future. Before we can move into that future, we need to have a candid dialog about the failure that typifies current health IT. Relevant Biography I appreciate the opportunity to testify today. More importantly I am thankful that you have chosen to invite a person from our community to speak to you. I must discuss why I am qualified to be a representative of my community. This important because legitimacy here is not earned with degrees or certifications. The FOSS community respects me because I have made substantial code and documentation contributions under FOSS licenses. -
Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital Executive Summary Student Consultant, Radford Shiozaki & Rintaro Sato Community Partner, Dr
Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital Executive Summary Student Consultant, Radford Shiozaki & Rintaro Sato Community Partner, Dr. Abundio Palencia Jr. I. About the Organization Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital (OLLH) is a private, non-profit, 50-bed tertiary hospital in Daet, Camarines Norte, Philippines. The hospital provides essential medical services to the residents of the entire Bicol region. The late Dr. Abundio Palencia Sr. founded OLLH in 1965. Today, Dr. Palencia’s sons and daughter direct a majority of the hospital’s clinical and administrative roles. Official Vision To establish the hospital as one of the very best in the entire southern Luzon area that takes care of the sick as well as the healthy person in all of his dimension. Official Mission To serve the community in all of its health related needs. Recognizing that the person is the sum of all that he is, the hospital is geared towards the care and well being of all the parts of the person -- physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. We will work to contribute to the attainment of a happy and healthy community. II. Improving Internal Communication and Information Management by Implementing a Framework for an EMR System One of the top priorities identified by the hospital staff was to create an easy way to retrieve medical data. Currently, patient charts are paper-based and stored in a room in the back of the hospital. The room is running out of physical space to store all the charts and some of the paper charts are getting damaged from mold and insects. The paper charts are also in danger of getting damaged from floods or fires. -
