What is OpenEMR?
OpenEMR is an Open Source electronic medical record and medical practice management software. For more details, check out the Project website (http://www.open-emr.org)
and the OpenEMR Features Page.

OpenEMR 4.1.0, 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 are certified as a Complete Ambulatory EHR (ONC Complete Ambulatory EHR Certified (http://oncchpl.force.com/ehrcert/ehrproductdetail?

As per the website OpenEMR is open source so can we change the logos, functionality of the software, as we are having sms, other solutions that can be
implemented?
YES. With the exception that you may not remove the GPL license. The other terms and conditions listed above must be followed. If you incorporate other open
source software it is legally easiest to use licenses that are similar. As examples Mozilla has its own Open Source license but it allows activities that are not permitted
under the General GPL. So technically using software modules with Mozilla style licenses is not a problem as long as they do not conflict with the General GPL. But
things can get very sticky in a way that it is difficult to operate legally. So in general it is better to only combine similar licenses.
You can charge for the changes in functionality. But the OpenEMR software must remain under the GPL license. The problem that comes up is that if you do not
release your code back to the project, every time we release a new version you have to update your version with the changes that you made. The only other option
is to not upgrade your OpenEMR as the new releases come out. Releasing your code back to the project under the GPL licensing means that each subsequent
upgrade already includes your changes.
What license fee or other charges we have to pay OpenEMR team for the above modifications and implementations?
NONE. The software is free and open source, subject to the restrictions listed above.
What is FreeB?
FreeB is now obsolete. Previous to OpenEMR version 2.9.0, FreeB was a separate program that created insurance claims. However, in OpenEMR versions 2.9.0 and later the
insurance billing engine is included in OpenEMR.
What is ImageMagick?
This is imaging conversion software used by OpenEMR in the Patients->Report screen to convert pdf images to jpg images. In linux, this is almost always installed by default, so
rarely causes problems in linux. However, if you are using Windows, then you will need to install ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php) and
Ghostscript (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/files) (gs871w32.exe file). When you install ImageMagick, ensure you install it as the Adminstrator and also ensure you
select to allow it to configure it with your Path. After installing these programs in Windows, then restart Windows. For Windows, will require OpenEMR 3.2.0 (with latest patch
installed) or later for ImageMagick to work.

What are the correct PHP settings (can be found in the php.ini file)?
We recommend the following PHP setting, which can be set in the php.ini file (If you do modify this file, remember to restart your web server (usually Apache) to apply the new
settings):
short_open_tag = On
max_execution_time = 60
max_input_time = 90
memory_limit = 128M
display_errors = Off
log_errors = On
register_globals = Off
post_max_size = 30M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 30M
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED
If using a php version of 5.3.9 or greater, then also need:
max_input_vars = 3000
What is SQL-Ledger?
SQL-Ledger is now obsolete. Previous to version 3.0.0, SQL-Ledger was a separate accounting program to manage accounts receivable. However, in OpenEMR versions
3.0.0 and later the management of accounts receivables is included in OpenEMR.

Better advice is: Study the separate options of each product and make a choice. All three need to follow their own activation rules and the extra tables included in the Database
have their own separate place and functionality.
What is CAMOS?
CAMOS (Computer Aided Medical Ordering System) is an additional feature. Original intentions where to "Make your choice and get the same text in the history of the patient"
kind of approach, it can be used to print recipe, history, referals and many other medical observations/interventions, take action, etc., etc.
This feature needs the following configuration:
Goto: Administration->Other->Forms->CAMOS register-> enable; back to current visit and use.
You will find the installed CAMOS under Miscellaneous.
Beware of the fact that this feature has its own recipe, diagnose, and many other options.
Its highly flexible approach is, once understood, a nice shortcut.
More details and the CAMOS User manual can be found on the CAMOS Module WIKI page.
