Summary
Amid an exponential increase in API usage, Oystehr announced 'Ottehr,' the first FHIR-native open-source EHR. This development significantly reduces the cost for healthcare organizations building custom systems while enabling deep customization tailored to specific workflows.
Details
Throughout 2024, Oystehr experienced massive growth, leading to the launch of new product lines. Notably, 'Ottehr' was introduced as an open-source, FHIR-native EHR. This system supports both telemedicine and in-person visits, along with eRx, practice management, and customizable paperwork. Future additions include lab order/result retrieval and RCM/claims submission in Q1. Technically, Oystehr achieved ONC and SOC certifications and implemented messaging/SMS capabilities, eRx, and fax services. Future goals involve HIE/Carequality integration development, advanced dictation features, and ambient scribing tools. Oystehr highlights that building a full-scope custom EHR previously required hundreds of thousands of person-hours. With the release of Oystehr and Ottehr, they claim to have drastically reduced this build cost. This makes it possible for moderately sized clinical organizations to acquire an EHR completely customized to their workflows, achieving long-term cost savings compared to existing monolithic EHR pricing models.
