Brief: This report provides a systematic review of 5 selected EHRs across 21 dimensions such as InterOp, Ease of Use, Coding System, Custom Forms/Reports, Access Control, Flexible Data Model, Offline Support, etc:

1. GNU Health,
2. OpenEMR,
3. FreeMED,
4. OpenMRS, and
5. Bahmni.

Bahmni scored very high across most dimensions. A referenced document by the same authors explains their choice of using Bahmni (which is built on top of OpenMRS & OpenELIS) here: Customization of OpenMRS for the LEISHMANIASIS Research and Treatment Centre in Ethiopia (pdf link)
