Crazy Like a Fox?
Yes, everyone knows that cost is barrier #1 for EMR adoption, especially for small and medium sized practices. That's why the eClinicalWorks of the world are handing the large vendors their petards. Open source will inevitably change the landscape with free software and fee services.
Now RemedyMD is giving their technology away for free, while charging for tech support and additional analytic tools. Good PR, bad business practice in my opinion. Earlier this year, Practice Fusion announced free EMR software supported by Google ads, another winner strategy. If I were a doctor, I'd be skeptical of the long term viability of companies making such moves. And of course you get what you pay for, and a free EMR may end up being worth every penny.
