This means that the widely-used open source Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is now certified to meet all ambulatory care requirements.

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } I thought that is was about time to drop you a line and let you know what was happening in the MI-SQUARED world. We’ve had a very busy quarter. We have added several new customers! This is good news, and it also means that we have been very, very busy trying to make sure everyones needs are met. These new customers represent several specialties that we have not had on board yet, so custom forms development galore. We have added a Podiatrist, Orthopedic Surgeon, Ophthalmologist, Summer Camp Clinic and a Injury Care Clinic, as well as a new Primary Care clinic. The “sales pipeline” is full and we expect to be adding several more customers this month. We have also been awarded 2 new software development contracts and have 2 new LabCorp interface orders. The OpenEMR project is going gang-busters and is on track to get full ONC EHR certification in the next few weeks. As soon as that happens we will be talking to you about what steps you need to take to register your EMR with the CMS to be qualified for the ARRA Meaningful use remunerations. There are tons of new features, some required for certification, and others that are just awesome enhancements. Wait until you seen them! MI-SQUARED is ready to release a very nice patient portal and we are bundling in basic practice web site hosting with that add on feature for anyone that needs it. MI-SQUARED is about ready to release a full E-Prescribing module through NewCrop that we developed in a joint venture and it will be released under that companies new name ZMG. MI-SQUARED added a new online support feature to all of our hosted customers that will let you drop in and have a live online chat with one of our support and/or development staff as well as any of our other customers that might be online at the time. It’s meant to be a group chat room. Share your thoughts, asks questions and get to know your fellow MI2 customer peers! read more

“I believe we have a very capable developer community that can put together great functionality. Some of us who are actual practicing doctors will try to chip in whenever possible regarding UI and usability. I like the way the project is run. It is easily the most “open source” project i have been part of.” – Mukoya From: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openemr/forums/forum/202506/topic/4430343 read more
