Relationship between OpenEMR & LibreHealth

Hi Art,

I would kindly ask that you adhere to your own community guidelines, the goal of Mr. Miller and I are not to start a turf war, flame war, or to invade your development but your comments are fostering hatred and I don’t believe such harsh language is needed in a group of people who at the end of the day want the same thing: improved patient outcomes.

I am unsure of what you meant by accusing Brady of trying to destroy OEMR, As the current executive director and board member, Brady has worked with the community to continue to improve the OpenEMR product as a whole.

When we refer to “OpenEMR” we refer to the community as a whole, we are not attempting to mislead who we are (which can not be said of LibreHealth’s recent press release which has lead to confusion as to the role LibreHealth plays in OpenEMR).

All of this being said, this will likely be my last post regarding this particular issue as it seems we have reached the point where civil dialog can no longer be accomplished; I wish this was not the case, but it is clear you are not interested in working to improve confusion, only unprofessionally rage against another member of the open source community.

As I step away I leave this for Art, the LibreHealth community, and any observers:

The OpenEMR community is in no way involved with nor has joined forces to create LibreHealth. OpenEMR has a thriving community of developers and continues to produce high-quality, open source electronic medical record software. OpenEMR believes the current press release from LibreHealth “muddies the water” in attempting to associate OpenEMR with LibreHealth. This can be seen in the title of the press release LibreHealth Announced by Key Community Members of Leading Health IT Projects. The leaders of LibreHealth are not key members of the OpenEMR community nor have they submitted any significant contributions to the project in some time.

Thank you to the moderators of the forum for allowing us to have this conversation, we were concerned when you first refused to post our letter. We appreciate your commitment to transparency.
