Sorry not to respond to this earlier. Things have been somewhat busy here in
Dallas.
The VSA held two meetings at HIMSS. The board of director met 2/15 to review
the progress made in growing the VSA since its incorporation in November 2004.
And we held a meeting 2/16 open to all members, prospective members, and all
other interested parties.
The agenda was as follows:
Welcome and Introductions (Barbara)
What is the VSA?
Barbara Boykin, Chairman, VSA
VistA as an EHR (why VistA is the best thing since sliced bread)
Scott Shreeve, Chief Medical Officer, Medsphere
Entering the VistA Market
Sall Akers, Perot Systems
VSA Plans for 2005
Joel West, Secretary, VSA
Commercial Deployment of VistA
Gaily Graham, Veterans Administration
Q&A with VSA Board
We filled the room with about 75 people attending. Our invitations were word of
mouth by necessity not design. The meeting details came together at the last
minute this time, but in the future we plan on posting notices on our website.
Given how expensive HIMSS is to attend, it didn't occur to me to post an invite
to Hardhats. The VSA will definitely have a presence at HIMSS in San Diego, but
no other face-to-face meetings are yet scheduled. Someone will post an
announcement to Hardhats when we have scheduled any open meetings. I will also
let you know if we are able to post the speakers' slides.
