If a healthcare organization was to implement a open source ehr or emr, and if an unauthorized person had the source code from the original vendor, couldn’t the system be breached? I understand that the emr/ehr vendor has probably been through hipaa regulation, but with an open source model, isn’t the system very susceptible?

Is there an advantage of the open source model in terms of software quality? Do you see that in real life in terms of the open source software that you use?
