There are several different open-source EHRs... OpenEMR and OpenVista come to mind. You wouldn't have to build one from scratch.

- nradov 5y agoSure but those existing open source EHRs aren't any better for users than the commercial alternatives. In fact they're mostly worse. OpenEMR is only suitable for small organizations delivering outpatient care, not for large hospital chains. OpenVista has a huge amount of technical debt and isn't getting much new adoption. Neither product has the kind of underlying data model that @ulkesh suggested above. So I think anyone looking to build a truly disruptive product would have to start almost from scratch.
