OpenEMR and Practice Management on AWS, packaged by CloudSOE

This product has charges associated with it for seller support. Deploy a production ready OpenEMR system on AWS in minutes: electronic health records, appointment scheduling, medical billing and a patient portal in one assembled, hardened image. Built for medical practices, clinics and the IT providers who serve them, who need a complete practice platform without days of LAMP stack assembly and security hardening. This image ships latest OpenEMR on a CIS aligned base OS.

Why OpenEMR, and why this image

OpenEMR is the most widely deployed open source practice management and EHR platform, with two decades of development behind its clinical records, scheduling, billing workflows (including X12 claim generation), prescriptions, patient portal and a modern FHIR R4 API. It replaces per provider per month subscription EHRs with software you own and control. What stands between most practices and that outcome is assembly and security: PHP, web server, database and portal configuration, done correctly for patient data. This image arrives with that work complete and documented.

What you get out of the box

• OpenEMR at current stable release on a tuned stack.
• API available and documented for integrations

Common use cases

• Private practices and clinics: records, scheduling, billing and claims in one system you own
• IT providers and MSPs serving healthcare clients: repeatable, hardened deployments per client
• Billing focused workflows: encounter coding, X12 837 claim generation and ERA posting

Choosing between OpenEMR and OpenMRS

Both are mature open source EMR platforms and CloudSOE publishes hardened images for both. Practices and clinics that need scheduling, insurance billing and a patient portal choose OpenEMR. Global health programs, NGOs and research teams that need a configurable clinical data platform across many sites choose OpenMRS. See the CloudSOE OpenMRS listing for the latter.

Compliance: read this before storing patient data

An AMI cannot make a deployment compliant; operations do. This image gives you a hardened starting point, and the documentation is explicit about the remaining shared responsibilities: Consider using encrypted volumes, network isolation, access control, audit trails, backup handling. Place instances in private subnets where clinical workflows allow, restrict the web tier to your networks, and never expose the database port. Restrict the staff interface to your practice networks or VPN. If you enable the patient portal, treat it as an internet facing application: it is the only component that should ever face the public internet, and the enablement guide covers its isolation.

Sizing guidance

Evaluation: t3.large. Single practice production: m7i.large with encrypted gp3 storage. Multi provider or heavy document scanning: m7i.xlarge; RDS offload for MariaDB is documented in the architecture guide.
