	abstract = {Open-source EMR software is a potential, and relatively economical, option for hospital organizations that can{\textquoteright}t afford proprietary commercial EMR software, or whose leaders want a non-commercial option. While access to VistA{\textquoteright}s source code is free, any hospital organization seeking to implement commercialized VistA will need assistance from one of the vendors supporting that software. Implementing open-source is a bit closer to self-development than to implementing proprietary, commercial EMR software. CCHIT recently announced it will introduce new channels for certification of open-source EMR software, addressing the concerns of those in healthcare who want to pursue the open-source option while also applying for funding under ARRA-HITECH.},
