I would just like to amplify Chris' comments on the Scheduling
functionality. The key logical datat structures have been defined some
time ago in ASTM E-1384 "Structure and Content of the Electronic Health
Record" in the context of the Basic Care Scenario with the help of AHIMA
the key health record professional discipline; the VA implemnented its
module in that context but the role of scheduling in the context of
treatment plans is continuing to evolve and include Clinical Orders as
associated record data structures. Current VistA needs to be anlyzed in
that context and a statement of how the current implemented architecture
can develop an evolutionary trajectory to a configuration that serves both
VA and non-VA enterprises should be issued. I am currently looking at how
to describe these present VistA functions in the context of these EHR
standards for the introductory document on VistA for our Biomedical
Health Informatics educational program at UW. Such a description would
obvious benefit a wide audience if we had much broader general dialog
about both the conceptual framework and the use of the implementing
technology in describing these capabilities. I'd hope that Mike Ginsburg
would engage the various professional disciplines (including AHIMA at
their national association level) in open forums on several levels. I'd
also hope that the various VistA-interested organizations (including
the VA) would be induced into this open discussion on both Content and
Implementation-of-Content. Hopefully, those with more direct information
can respond with details.

Gentle folk;
Scheduling is one of the oldest packages in VistA. As such, it needs the
most re-engineering. It is a fertile field for a re-write. Use the
functionality as it currently stands as a black box of functionality. From
there, we can start re-implementing this central piece of the VistA
architecture as a modern piece of reusable tools to employ and make the rest
of the pieces of VistA stronger and better integrated.
Lots of opportunity to shine here and learn about how VistA and the Kernel
work.
Best wishes; Chris

Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] Demo of Scheduling Functionality
It appear there have been improvements in scheduling since January2005 if
the
documentation is any guide, so are you sure, Joseph, that it isn't much
better than it used to be? The next FOIA to be posted may do the trick.
I
just checked. The last FOIA posted was Nov 2004.

What is the context hospital or primary care clinic/outpatient? I would
not recomend VistA scheduling if all you want is a scheduling
system....there are other choices that would be better and much easier
to implement at this point in time.

Hi Hardhat members,
We are currently evaluating several patient scheduling
systems and would like to take a look at the
functionality provided by Vista..
I couldn't find any scheduling functionality in the
online demo provided so I assume that the "module"
isn't deployed in that case.
I've download OpenVistaVivaGold (the knoppix dvd) but
I'm not certain that's the easiest way to eval as it
seems theres a fair amount of work in just getting
CPRS up and running to eval.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
