In the VA there is the Delphi based CPRS for clinician's and two interfaces for dumb terminals - classic roll-and-scroll (primary) and screenman that cover everything else. The VA is working on a Java based interface intended to replace it all in a few years. Outside the VA there is the FixIT set of GUI tools from Finland, EsiObjects, and M2Web. There are also derivatives of VistA in other government agencies that have their own interfaces to varying degrees, RPMS in the IHS (Indian Health Service) and CHCS in the DOD (Department of Defence). >2. What about web interfaces? I've read at worldvista.org that there are >some efforts aiming at developing them, but do not know whether they >already exist or not... They do. None is yet a complete interface to VistA, as far as I know. M2Web can greatly facilitate the development and deployment of web interfaces for MUMPS based applications such as VistA. As a start, it provides user login sessions based on the VistA user file and includes a capability for viewing MUMPS databases directly on the web that can present virtually all data and metadata in VistA to a web browser in various forms including HTML tables, Javascript objects, and XML.
