VistA is public domain all the source code is available either on the WorldVistA sourceforge site or at the VA ftp site...there is a pointer to it on hardhats and WorldVista sites....it's > ftp.va.gov/vista/
Your best documentation for getting started can be found at Dr. Kevin Topenberg's site:

In fact if you you follow Kevin's many posts you will learn a great deal!
Cheers,

Hi all, new member here... I'm a software consultant and developer who happens to have a sister who runs a family practice clinic.
I'm interested in learning about and using OpenVistA or perhaps some other form of VistA.
What I have done so far is download and install "OpenVistA SemiVivA 0.4" onto my desktop which runs Gentoo Linux. I can run it and get a "GTM>" prompt, but what now?
All I want to do at this point is see a workable demo. Should I be able to run the CPRS GUI from a Windows box at this point and do anything interesting, or does the server require more setup first? And either way I will presumably need to be authenticated, so what's the login information?
The most surprising thing to me is that, as someone who has been googling and going through the archives of this list for a couple of days now, I have to ask such a basic question! I would be happy to create some sort of getting- started documentation, which is obviously very sorely needed, assuming I can learn enough.
Here are some resources that I already know about:
http://www.worldvista.org/ http://www.pacifichui.org/OpenVista/ http://www.va.gov/vdl/ http://www.hardhats.org/ http://www.cms.hhs.gov/quality/pfqi.asp (VistA Office)
Also where is the source for the CPRS GUI? That question was answered earlier on this list, but the file no longer seems to be at the indicated place. There appears to be some secrecy surrounding the source - is it proprietary?
By the way is anyone here directly involved with VistA Office? I would be interested to know more about its current status.
Thanks!
