Title: Re: [Hardhats-members] Free EHR software is on hold
Hardhats members: The review of VOE by the Secretary's office is fairly standard procedure. Anytime one of the HHS agencies gets ready to issue a press release, review by the Department is a given. In the case of VOE, it needs

It is my perspective that even if the release is held up, there is a major
amount of work that needs to be done so that all of those who will support
the acquiring enterprise are fully linked to the disciplines (such as
health record administrators-AHIMA) who fully understand the present
I dont disagree with what you have said but my point is that while it is
being held up we msut work furiously on these other issues to underpins
that VistA and VOE Suppliers/Acquirers fully undestand the complexity and
multiple dimensions and have demonstrated mastery to work with the solo
Completely agreed. This is an opportunity to spend
time improving those other aspects - at least if you
have access to the source code or whatever aspect of

Thank you Nancy - great information as always.

available under FOIA. Is this the case?
