Taking OpenEMR, a GPL EMR to ARRA Meaningful Use Certification...
summary
OpenEMR undergoes a concerted push to meet ONC/ARRA Meaningful Use: a few hundred thousand dollars funds contractors, a modified Scrum with weekly sprints drives progress, and CVS → Git/GitHub plus an SVN playground handle heavy contributor influx. The repo is ~half a million lines, committers rise from ~5 to 7, activity peaked at SourceForge #37, and core work is 80–90% coded with four blockers — lab, e‑prescribing, drug interaction, patient portal — plus a $35,000 CCHIT fee.
