I recently learned that my neighbor works for Partners in Health (pih.org). They have built an open-source EMR, which they use in far-flung regions like Haiti. I suggested that they can maybe sell their software under commercial terms in the US, to subsidize their international work. Her comment was that EMR systems like Epic are actually a billing system, less a medical record system. The whole system has been built to be opaque.
