RUTLAND, VT – May 30, 2018 — /BackupReview.info/ — OpenEMR, the most popular open-source electronic health record and medical practice management solution, now offers a full panel of easy to install packages on Amazon’s Cloud Services.
In 2017, OpenEMR released its first Amazon Cloud Services offering, OpenEMR Cloud Full Stack, with the goal of enabling Enterprise use of OpenEMR. However many clinics and academic settings did not require the complexities of a large-scale full cloud offering and/or HIPAA eligibility. The OpenEMR community realized that a one size fits all Amazon cloud service approach could not address the vast range of differing requirements and workflows in modern day clinical and academic settings.
In response, the OpenEMR community rolled out a panel of Amazon cloud service offerings covering the wide range of clinical and academic settings, from low-resource clinics in remote areas to large enterprise multispeciality facilities. These offerings were developed and tested by a team of volunteers in the OpenEMR community that included physicians, nurses, scientists, and software and cloud engineers. This team included Dr. Andre Millet, Dr. Brady Miller, Daniel Ehrlich, Jason Oettinger, Matthew Vita, Robert Down, Stephen Waite, and OpenEMR’s Chief Systems Architect, Asher Densmore-Lynn.
“OpenEMR stands alone,” Densmore-Lynn said, “in its embrace of containerization and orchestration technology. OpenEMR is the first open-source EMR in the Amazon Marketplace, and the only one aggressively leveraging Amazon’s proprietary encryption technology in the pursuit of HIPAA compliance and domestic use.” He continues, “Our range of cloud offerings including two host-it-yourself options you can run on your desktop or on your existing server hardware are designed to accommodate live clinical use, classroom instruction, or even something as modest as hassle-free demonstration and development.”
This panel of OpenEMR Cloud offerings allows any user to take advantage of the benefits of cloud services, which include:
Something that makes OpenEMR’s cloud offerings unique is the lack of reliance on any particular cloud. Because all of the options are built on similar orchestration frameworks, data can be backed up on one offering and recovered to another. This means that if internet access goes down for a prolonged period of time, such as in Puerto Rico after hurricane Maria, an OpenEMR cloud instance with all its data can be packaged up and delivered by the supporting vendor to run locally on a server in the clinic.
There are five different OpenEMR Amazon Cloud Service offerings ranging in costs from $10 per month to $100+ per month in Amazon fees. The offerings are Shared Hosting, Express, Express Plus, Standard, and Full Stack. All of the offerings share the availability of automated backups, low maintenance and support for SSL encryption. An updated comparison chart of these offerings is available on the OpenEMR website , and each OpenEMR Cloud offering is described below:
Professional support is provided by vendors like ACE Health Solutions and Juggernaut Systems Express, and the OpenEMR community stands behind both practicing and academic users with support in its forums and online chat.
“These offerings are just the start as OpenEMR leverages cloud services for deploying OpenEMR to both small and large clinical and academic settings,” Dr. Brady Miller, an OpenEMR project administrator and physician, said, “although these offerings will drastically improve deployments of OpenEMR, these are truly just building blocks as more related cloud services are integrated to facility interoperability, quality assurance, performance reporting, education, research, academics, data analysis and disaster response.”
