Those commercial solutions are something that can and should be replaced by the open source community and commercial vendors.
So one can no longer get a copy of the NDF in the FOIA. Considering that it is a standard now, I would think the VA maintains it in a pristine form so that it could be made available as a patch without much work. Is that not true? Also, it is available in an Access database here, http://www.vapbm.org/PBM/natform.htm so would it be difficult to format it for importation into the National Drug File within VistA?
