On Tuesday, July 20, Oleen Healthcare in Silver Spring, MD, hosted a
meeting of a number of VistA related vendors (see organization list
below) and WorldVistA to discuss how WorldVistA and VistA vendors
could
collaborate better, whether and how WorldVistA (a non-profit
501(c)(3)
corporation could accommodate vendor participation, etc.).
There has been discussion back and forth between WorldVistA, and
vendor
representatives. My take on the current state of the discussion is
that
the vendors will probably create a 501(c)(6) trade association that
will
be independent of WorldVistA, but the two organizations can
cooperate.
One of my action items from the meeting was to create a Yahoogroups
list
for the vendors to carry out discussions, and I have created a group
called vista-vendors. So e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
will
go to all registered there, and will be archived for the future.
Eventually, as a vendor organization emerges, it will have its own
mailing list, document repository, etc. Until then, Yahoo groups
provides a mailing list (with web access, if you don't want to
receive
mailings directly), a document repository, online calendar, online
database, online polls, and more. In the interest of transparency,
anyone who has any interest in VistA can participate in the list.
If
you would like to do so, please go to http://www.yahoogroups.com,
search
for vista-vendors, and ask to join the group. It will send me a
request
to approve your joining, and I will do so forthwith. To access the
shared file areas, online calendar, etc. you will need a Yahoo id,
and
link that id to the e-mail address you use for joining the
vista-vendors
group.
In the interest of keeping those who would harvest e-mail address
off
the Yahoo groups list, I have created the list as open to members,
not
open to the world at large. But this is my *only* purpose in gating
membership. It is my intent that this group otherwise be completely
transparent, which is especially important because trade groups must
always be sensitive to the possibility of allegations of
anti-competitive collusion. Complete transparency not only helps
avoid
anti-competitive behavior, it also helps avoid even the appearance
of
such behavior.
Since there are existing e-mails that are circulating and which
therefore don't meet the transparency test, I will forward to Yahoo
groups any e-mails I have received that pertain to these vendor
discussions.
If you are a vendor of VistA related products and services, or are
just
interested, please join the group vista-vendors at
http://www.yahoogroups.com.
Attendee organization list (in alphabetical order):
Document Storage Systems
Fidelity Information Services
Global Technologies
Hewlett-Packard
InterSystems
Medical Alliances
Medsphere
Oleen Healthcare
Perot Systems
Sea Island Systems
WorldVistA
If I have missed your organization, or not listed it correctly, I
apologize in advance. Please send me a correction.
Regards

P.S. I am looking for someone to be another owner of the list, as
well
as a couple of fellow administrators, just in case I fall off the
earth
or simply fall of a ladder.
