OpenEMR is an electronic medical record (EMR/EHR) and practice management application used by clinics and healthcare providers to manage patients, clinical documentation, scheduling, and administrative workflows. It combines charting, orders, billing/claims-related workflows, and patient engagement tools in a single web application with an extensible module ecosystem.

Key Features

  • Patient charting: demographics, encounters, problems, allergies, medications, labs, documents, and clinical notes
  • Appointment scheduling with calendar views and clinic/provider/resource scheduling
  • Patient portal for messaging, document sharing, forms, and viewing clinical information (deployment dependent)
  • E-prescribing support via integrations (availability varies by region/vendor)
  • Billing and revenue-cycle features including CPT/ICD coding, fee sheets, and claims workflow support
  • Reporting and analytics (clinical, operational, and financial reports; export options)
  • Interoperability options including HL7/FHIR-oriented capabilities (configuration and modules may be required)
  • Role-based access controls and audit logging to support healthcare compliance workflows
  • Multilingual UI and configurable forms/templates
  • Extensible architecture with modules/plugins and a large community ecosystem

Use Cases

  • Small-to-mid clinics running end-to-end operations (appointments → encounters → billing)
  • Multi-provider practices needing centralized scheduling, charting, and reporting
  • Community/low-cost clinics seeking a customizable EHR with broad feature coverage

Limitations and Considerations

  • Some capabilities (e.g., eRx, clearinghouse/claims, patient portal options, interoperability workflows) depend on third-party services, local regulations, and site configuration
  • Feature breadth can increase setup/maintenance complexity; production deployments typically require careful hardening and operational processes

OpenEMR is a mature, widely adopted EHR platform with a broad clinical and practice-management feature set and strong extensibility. It is best suited for organizations that can invest in proper configuration, workflow design, and ongoing maintenance to match local clinical and regulatory requirements.

Fasten Health is a personal health record (PHR) you run yourself to aggregate and view your medical data in one place. It connects to supported provider portals/APIs (FHIR) to import clinical records and presents them in a unified, searchable timeline.

Key Features

  • Connects to healthcare systems using FHIR to import patient records
  • Consolidates data from multiple providers into a single patient-centric view
  • Browsable medical timeline (encounters, conditions, medications, immunizations, labs, etc., depending on source)
  • Local database for storing normalized health resources for faster browsing
  • Web UI for exploring and filtering your medical history
  • Containerized “on-prem” deployment workflow (Docker-based)

Use Cases

  • Maintain a unified record when you visit multiple clinics/hospitals
  • Track medications, immunizations, and lab results over time
  • Export/consult your history when changing providers or preparing for appointments

Limitations and Considerations

  • Data availability and completeness depends on each provider’s FHIR implementation and what they expose
  • Initial setup requires provider connectivity and may vary by supported institutions

Fasten Health is suited for individuals who want a consolidated view of their health records without relying on a third-party PHR vendor. Its core value is pulling FHIR-based records into a single local interface for longitudinal browsing across providers.
