OpenEMR

OpenEMR is the clinical EMR at the heart of Med-SEAL Suite. It provides full electronic health record management including patient intake, clinical documentation, orders, scheduling, and billing.

Role in Med-SEAL

OpenEMR serves as the clinician-facing interface where doctors, nurses, and administrators manage day-to-day clinical operations. It connects to the rest of the stack via:

Medplum - patient data is synced to the FHIR R4 layer for interoperability
AI Service - the AI chat widget is injected into OpenEMR’s interface for clinical decision support
SSO - user accounts are synchronised between the SSO database and OpenEMR
