A huge thank you goes to the OpenEMR community volunteers who dedicated more than 2,000 hours to development, documentation, and testing to build version 8.0.0 and achieve ONC Certification. The collaborative effort is what keeps OpenEMR innovative, secure, and the best alternative to expensive proprietary systems.
