This HRSA Health Information Technology and Quality focuses on open source Electronic Health Records (EHR) for the safety net community. Open Source EHRs are systems that are either free or very low cost to implement. The presenters will provide an overview of the types of open source systems, the benefits and challenges of using open source EHRs, and how these systems can be used effectively to meet the Meaningful Use requirements and provide high quality care to meet population health needs. In addition, one speaker will present on how his rural federally qualified health center selected the use of RPMS (a free EHR system which was developed by Indian Health Services) to support its clinical services. A second presenter will talk about his health center’s selection of Worldvista (Based on the Veterans Administration EHR System) and how it supports UDS reporting requirements.
