San Diego, California -- July 5, 2004 -- Pennington Firm, an open source software development company, is chosen by two clinics to implement the open source electronic medical record (EMR) application OpenEMR. Clinics choosing OpenEMR in June 2004 are: West Marion Family Medicine in Florida; and Operation Samahan in California. Pennington Firm is assisting both with electronic billing using a clearinghouse. OpenEMR supports two clearinghouses, ProxyMed and ZirMed. OpenEMR has the ability to submit in the ANSI X12 format, allowing clinics to make direct submissions to payers such as Medicare or Medicaid.

OpenEMR is a full featured, practice management, electronic medical record and prescription writing application that can serve as a direct open source replacement for proprietary medical applications such as Medical Manager, HealthPro and MegaWest.

Open source applications, such as OpenEMR, free clinics of the monopoly lock-in of proprietary medical software, allows customization to meet 100% of the clinics needs, allows support to be provided by your internal technical resources or the vendor of your choice, and eliminates the possibility that your clinic's software will be orphaned at the election of the software vendor.

OpenEMR is designed for the stable and secure Linux operating system with the Apache Web Server. OpenEMR is a free, open source application that can be downloaded, installed and used without any user or license fees.
