Not a big deal, but please consider:
Whenever I come in contact with health care professionals outside of the VA, and it's seems appropriate, I bring up and explain a little about OpenVistA. I'll give them the URLs for WorldVistA, Hardhats or both. Thing is, it's always on some scrap of paper that I'm sure gets lost.
What I was thinking that it might be nice to print out some OpenVistA business cards. They wouldn't have my name on them, just maybe a logo, "OpenVistA" displayed prominently and the WorldVista and Hardhats URLs. This would seem to me to be much better than scraps of paper to "spread the word".
If there is interest in this, I would prefer to use an official, standard, design. What I'd really is be able to include some sort of catch phrase, something like "Very affordable, very comprehensive healthcare IT". (I feel I need to point out that I wouldn't include "open-source" in this phrase, it just seems to muddy the waters at first.) And if I was WorldVistA, I'd copyright the phrase.
MORE IMPORTANTLY
Thinking about that catch phrase got me believing that WorldVistA should produce http://openvista.worldvista.org - a site with the primary purpose of "selling" OpenVistA. A site that would be designed to grab visitors and pique their interest about the product itself. Something with a screenshot of CPRS prominently displayed. This is the URL I'd like to put on the business cards. And I'm not trying to take away from the WorldVistA and Hardhats Web sites. They of course have plenty of great information on VistA, but you have to go fishing for it.
Thanks, Chuck
