OpenEMR recently posted a news release with data on the number of
downloads of their popular open source electronic medical record (EMR)
software. The number of practitioners using the system and the patient
population they are treating are staggering – a real eye-opener. It's

organizations like Klas still fail to acknowledge or report on the rapidly growing
number of high quality, open source health IT solutions now widely
deployed.

clinicians using these systems runs into the tens of thousands, and the number
of patients being treated using these open source systems numbers many tens of
millions of people across the U.S. and around the world.
