I was release coordinator 5-7 years ago for an EMR software (DIPS) in Norway, to one of the bigger hospitals (Kalnes). It was said that there was a unwritten policy that they never use open source software, the only exception was for the ERP database running on Linux. There was more than 2000 systems in that portfolio to various hospitals under the same policy. After checking with other employees if found the reason; they had to make sure the supplier did not have to many levels of sub contractors, and had to be close to the core development. So not open source in it self, but open source was seen as a big red flag.
