I went through the EMR list at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_source_healthcare_software and tried out the ones I could get my hands on. Here's a summary of what I found.

Legend:
? - unable to verify
N/A - feature not available
F - crashes or doesn't work
C - limited functionality, bad interface
B - decent functionality, bad interface
A - decent functionality, decent interface

EMR	License	Platform	Scheduler	SOAP	Billing	Usability
ClearHealth	GPL	Web	?	?	?	?
FreeMedForms	BSD	Native	F	N/A	N/A	F
FreeMED	GPL	Web	C	N/A	N/A	C
GNUmed	GPL	Native	C	B	N/A	C

OpenEMR	GPL	Web	B	B	C	C
OpenMRS	Custom (GPL-like)	Web	N/A	N/A	N/A	B
Oscar	GPL	Web	B	B	C	C

As far as I can tell, it's a toss up between OpenEMR and Oscar. We'll need to take a closer look at both their billing systems to figure out which one is closer to what we want.
