Yes, if you read this is sounds like it is done already, but it really isn't. VistA, of course, will be the core of it, but it needs a number of things added, like pediatrics and OBGYN and a GUI scheduling interface, something to capture billing data, etc. The plan is for it to be released to run on Windows and Cache, and I suspect it will be rapidly ported to run on GTM and Linux as well. It will be in the public domain. (If anything I say is wrong, I should be corrected shortly as I believe the project manager is a member of the Hardhats list. ;-) )
Also, I just noticed I had this on the wrong list hardhats-members-admin instead of hardhats-members. My apologies to Greg. I am not sure how it happened, but I will try to figure it out and not do it again. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Joe Knierien Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 12:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] VA Central Office Broadcast Today Nancy, Can you tell me where I can get more information on this?

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. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Hardhats-members mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Hardhats-members mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Hardhats-members mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members
