Powered by Niles partners and available on Azure Marketplace, OpenEMR is a popular electronic health records and a medical practice management solution. This EMR software is ONC Complete Ambulatory EHR certified and features fully integrated electronic medical records, electronic billing, scheduling, and practice management for a medical practice.
OpenEMR is subject to ongoing efforts of internationalization and localization in multiple languages, and there is also support available in various forums over the world. Simply put, it is a medical practice management software that supports Electronic Medical Records (EMR).
Niles partners, a leading IT Solution provider is launching a product which will configure and publish OpenEMR platforms, solutions, and CMS software which is embedded pre-configured tool with LAMP and ready-to-launch machine Image on Azure that contains, Apache, MySQL, Linux, PHP (LAMP).
The server side is written in PHP which can be employed in conjunction with a LAMP “stack”, however any operating system with PHP support is supported. OpenEMR offers health care practices customization options that various client-based EMR and electronic health record (EHR) applications lack. It is also compatible with the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (Ubuntu) operating systems.
OpenEMR features include:
Patient Demographics
Prescriptions
Patient Scheduling
Electronic Medical Records
Medical Billing
Clinical Decision Rules
Patient Portal
Reports
Security
Multilingual Support

Until now, small developers did not have the capital to acquire massive compute resources and ensure they had the capacity they needed to handle unexpected spikes in load. Amazon EC2 enables any developer to leverage Amazon’s own benefits of massive scale with no up-front investment or performance compromises. Developers are now free to innovate knowing that no matter how successful their businesses become, it will be inexpensive and simple to ensure they have the compute capacity they need to meet their business requirements.
The “Elastic” nature of the service allows developers to instantly scale to meet spikes in traffic or demand. When computing requirements unexpectedly change (up or down), Amazon EC2 can instantly respond, meaning that developers have the ability to control how many resources are in use at any given point in time. In contrast, traditional hosting services generally provide a fixed number of resources for a fixed amount of time, meaning that users have a limited ability to easily respond when their usage is rapidly changing, unpredictable, or is known to experience large peaks at various intervals.
Traditional hosting services generally provide a pre-configured resource for a fixed amount of time and at a predetermined cost. Amazon EC2 differs fundamentally in the flexibility, control and significant cost savings it offers developers, allowing them to treat Amazon EC2 as their own personal data center with the benefit of Amazon.com’s robust infrastructure.

In contrast, traditional hosting services generally provide a fixed number of resources for a fixed amount of time, meaning that users have a limited ability to easily respond when their usage is rapidly changing, unpredictable, or is known to experience large peaks at various intervals.
Secondly, many hosting services don’t provide full control over the compute resources being provided. Using Amazon EC2, developers can choose not only to initiate or shut down instances at any time, they can completely customize the configuration of their instances to suit their needs – and change it at any time. Most hosting services cater more towards groups of users with similar system requirements, and so offer limited ability to change these.
Finally, with Amazon EC2 developers enjoy the benefit of paying only for their actual resource consumption – and at very low rates. Most hosting services require users to pay a fixed, up-front fee irrespective of their actual computing power used, and so users risk overbuying resources to compensate for the inability to quickly scale up resources within a short time frame.
No. You do not need an Elastic IP address for all your instances. By default, every instance comes with a private IP address and an internet routable public IP address. The private address is associated exclusively with the instance and is only returned to Amazon EC2 when the instance is stopped or terminated. The public address is associated exclusively with the instance until it is stopped, terminated or replaced with an Elastic IP address. These IP addresses should be adequate for many applications where you do not need a long lived internet routable end point. Compute clusters, web crawling, and backend services are all examples of applications that typically do not require Elastic IP addresses.
You have complete control over the visibility of your systems. The Amazon EC2 security systems allow you to place your running instances into arbitrary groups of your choice. Using the web services interface, you can then specify which groups may communicate with which other groups, and also which IP subnets on the Internet may talk to which groups. This allows you to control access to your instances in our highly dynamic environment. Of course, you should also secure your instance as you would any other server.
