Nancy, can you send me a link to a press release for this? I would
like to announce it on Linux Medical News. Thanks! -- IV

One of the world's most sophisticated software systems for keeping
electronic health records will soon be easily available to doctors,
hospitals and clinics around the country, courtesy of VA and the
federal
Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The system, called
VistA-Office
Electronic Health Record, was developed by VA. A version of VistA is
used
at more than 1,300 VA facilities throughout the United States to
maintain
records on 5 million veterans who receive their health care from VA.
Private-sector health care providers will soon be able to obtain a
version
of VistA at nominal cost. Distribution of the software is expected
to begin
in late 2005. VistA offers health care providers a complete
electronic
record covering all aspects of patient care, including reminders for
preventive health care, electronic entry of pharmaceutical orders,
display
of laboratory results, consultation requests, x-rays and pathology
slides.
Besides the VA system, VistA is currently used by the Department of
Health
for the District of Columbia, plus health care systems in Finland,
Germany,
Egypt and Nigeria.
