Open-source clinic software like OpenMRS or GNU Health offers source code transparency and zero licensing fees, but requires significant technical investment: you need a server (cloud or on-premise), a developer or IT team for installation, configuration, updates, and security patches, and you bear full responsibility for data protection and compliance. For clinics without dedicated IT staff — which is most small and mid-sized practices — the total cost of ownership often exceeds commercial SaaS alternatives once you factor in hosting, maintenance, and security.
MedicalMet is a managed cloud platform — no servers, no developers, no security patching. Everything is handled: hosting, updates, backups, encryption, and compliance. You focus on patients while the platform handles the technology. Plans start at $12 per month. Visit medicalmet.com/security for data protection details.
