FreeMED EMR Software

The platform is free to use and allows for complete modification as per the practice requirements.

Key features include Expense Management, Appointment Management, Electronic medical records, Patient Registration, In-patient Management System, Lab Information System, Out-Patient Management, Patient Records Management, Patient Discharge, Pharmacy Information System (Drugs, Opticals), an optional Billing System and Claims Management. The software has an active support group and also offers expert support via e-mail and phone.

Very capable EMR.

Pros:
The system is very adaptable which we love the most. It is extremely flexible and anything from the features to the look and feel of the software can be customized. The only price we paid was to a third party vendor who modified the code for us and implemented it in our system. And the price is negligible when we consider the benefits we have been extracting from FreeMED. There are various templates available for customization and use. It makes running a practice easy and enjoyable. The softwares incredible EMR capabilities are really helpful in managing our practice activities.
Cons:
The UI is extremely basic and feels at least 10 years old. This could be partly due to it being completely free but even open source free software like Android receives fresh UI updates regularly. Updates are rare and any problem we face sits for at least a week before we hire someone to fix it for us. I would appreciate it if some official training program was available. Customer service is basically non-existent, which is understable, but that leaves you stranded in the middle if you run into a problem.

Paperless medical practice made possible by FreeMED.

Pros:
FreeMED has enabled us to eliminate paper files completely. It has made document management a breeze which keeps us more organized. We moved all our papers to the digital database and use just FreeMED to run our practice now. It is very simple and has all the features that a doctor may need. Features such as appointment reminders and the opportunity to generate and add your own papers are what I like the most. I also appreciate that they have put effort into templates that are already included in base software.
Cons:
Training myself and the employees was a bit difficult. With every other paid software, we have an option to get the staff trained via in-person or online training. This is not the case with FreeMED, though. There are no hands-on tutorial choices available or the possibility of arranging a training session. Only a handful of videos are available online which deal with the most basic tasks and nothing more. There should be some hands-on instruction or customized training programs with a payment plan which we won’t mind at all.

Unbelievable that this is free!

Pros:
The FreeMED EMR software has so many fantastic features that have assisted us in increasing our productivity. It is the only software I implemented in the beginning since it was free, but it turned out to be so great that I would even pay to have it implemented in my system. All the features are so well made that it is hard to believe that it is all available at no cost. FreeMED integrates with third party software so well and almost all other software I use can access it. I love that I can just open one app to complete all of my work.
Cons:
Since it is open source, it is very basic and requires a lot of work to be done in order to truly make it useful. There are no features in the software that may assist us in organizing our patients appointments or medical bills. We had to stitch many pieces together and still use multiple software to run our practice just to keep the overheads under control. This is something that I already expected and made amends accordingly. Hiring a coding expert solved the problem for us and FreeMED is still cheaper than the rest after all the expenses.

A brilliant piece of software that costs you nothing

Pros:
The FreeMED EMR software has some excellent features that are helpful in increasing the productivity of our firm. The softwares finest feature is that all of its customers may use it for free and take advantage of all of its features and capabilities. The system offers seamless integration, making it simple to use the application from any location. We admire the systems flexibility. There are several templates that can be customized and used. It makes running a practice a breeze and a lot of fun.
Cons:
The amazing EMR capabilities provided by the software are really beneficial in managing our practice processes. The UI is incredibly easy to use and customizable, with tons of features. However, there are no capabilities in the software that may help us organize our patients visits or medical bills. It is really annoying that we handle every aspect of our practices daily operations using two to three separate pieces of software.

Guaranteed satisfaction!
