Abstract
The United States has more than 1,000 free medical clinics. Because these clinics do not bill Medicare or Medicaid, they are not eligible for federal reimbursement for electronic health record (EHR) adoption. As a result, most do not have EHRs or electronic disease registries. A web-based diabetes registry was created with all open-source components for use in an urban free clinic to manage patients with type 2 diabetes and comorbidities. The registry was modeled after the Chronic Disease Electronic Management System and recommendations of the American Diabetes Association. The software was enhanced to include multiple other features, such as progress notes, so that it can function as a simple EHR. The configuration permits other free clinics to join securely, and the software can be shared.
