The installation and use of 'open source' electronic health record
(EHR) systems have continued to spread across West Virginia and many
other states across the U.S. See the map of healthcare facilities
running some variant of the open source VistA electronic health record
(EHR) system in West Virginia and other Appalachian states.
Appalachia
is a cultural region in the mountainous states of the eastern U.S.
stretching from northern Alabama, though Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, to the southern tip of New York
state. – See Wikipedia.

Finally, other popular 'open source' EHR systems in use across West Virginia and other Appalachian states include OpenEMR and OpenMRS. 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 record over 2 million patient records around the world. See map of OpenMRS installations.
