What is claimed is: 1. An open medical system for deploying, supporting and organizing medical equipment and medical utilities, comprising: a main module having an upper plate and a lower plate held in fixed spaced apart relation by a plurality of spacers, and at least one core having at least one outlet therein; a utility connection for connecting utilities to the main module; and a wall mounting assembly for supporting the main module by attachment to a wall of a medical facility, said wall mounting assembly comprising upper and lower mounting brackets affixed to said wall of said medical facility in vertically spaced apart relation, each of said upper and lower mounting brackets respectively including a horizontally extending wall traverse and at least two spaced support brackets affixed thereto, each of said support brackets including a vertically oriented locating pin, each of said upper and lower plates respectively including at least two spaced recesses on a lower surface thereof, said main module being seated on said support brackets wherein said locating pins on said support brackets are received within corresponding ones of said spaced recesses in said upper and lower plates to support said main module. 2. The open medical system of claim 1 wherein said recesses are rectangular in shape and have a longitudinal extent perpendicular to said wall of said medical facility, said recesses further having a transverse width greater than said locating pins so as to allow adjustments of the final position of the main module during installation. 3. The open medical system of claim 1 wherein said at least one core comprises two opposing cores each having an inner face, said at least one outlet comprising a plurality of outlets arranged vertically on said opposing cores and facing an open space defined by the upper plate lower plate, and the inner faces of the opposing cores. 4. The open medical system of claim 3 wherein said system has a frontal plane, and the faces of said plurality of outlets are angled inwardly between 20 and 70 degrees in relation to the frontal plane. 5. The open medical system of claim 1 wherein said at least one core comprises two opposing cores each having an outer face, said at least one outlet comprising a plurality of outlets arranged vertically on said opposing cores and facing outwardly. 6. The open medical system of claim 5 wherein said system has a frontal plane, and the faces of said plurality of outlets are angled outwardly between 20 and 70 degrees in relation to the frontal plane. 7. The open medical system of claim 1 wherein each of said upper and lower mounting brackets respectively include at least one security flange configured and arranged to be secured to the respective upper and lower plates. 8. The open medical system of claim 1 wherein the horizontal wall traverse of each of said upper and lower mounting brackets includes a vertically oriented forwardly facing portion. 9. The open medical system of claim 8 wherein said forwardly facing portion of said wall traverse includes a plurality of spaced mounting holes for receiving gas fittings. 10. The open medical system of claim 9 wherein the horizontal wall traverse of claim of said upper and lower mounting brackets includes a horizontally oriented upwardly facing support flange. 11. The open medical system of claim 10 wherein said support flange of said wall traverse includes a plurality of scalloped notches each respectively aligned with said mounting holes for aligning respective gas fittings received in the respective mounting holes. 12. The open medical system of claim 8 wherein the horizontal wall traverse of claim of said upper and lower mounting brackets includes a horizontally oriented upwardly facing support flange. 13. A wall mounting bracket for mounting an open medical system in a stud bay during an open-wall, rough-in installation, said stud bay being defined between two spaced wall studs having a sheathing material affixed to a front surface thereof, said wall mounting bracket comprising: a vertically oriented forwardly facing portion having a plurality of holes in opposing ends thereof for securing said mounting bracket to the front surface of said spaced studs behind said sheathing material, a horizontally oriented upwardly facing support flange extending rearwardly so as to be disposed within said stud bay; and at least two spaced support brackets affixed to said vertically oriented forward facing portion adjacent said opposing ends thereof, each of said support brackets extending outwardly through said sheathing material and including a vertically oriented locating pin. 14. The wall mounting bracket of claim 13 wherein said vertically oriented forwardly facing portion has a plurality of spaced mounting holes in a central portion thereof for receiving gas fittings. 15. The wall mounting bracket of claim 14 wherein said support flange includes a plurality of scalloped notches each respectively aligned with said mounting holes for aligning respective gas fittings received in the respective mounting holes.
