Actually, there are hundreds of APIs that are documented as "Supported" which means they can be used without registering as "subscribers" of the APIs. And there are hundreds more that are "Private" or "Controlled" which means that they can be used after being formally registered as a "subscriber". You can find some relatively up to date lists at: ftp://ftp.va.gov/vista/Software/Integration%20Agreements/

Somewhat along the lines of Microsoft Word providing its services programitically via a COM object. Obviously there in not an analagy to COM in VistA, but an API would be do-able. I don't think this is a current standard. Am I wrong?
