A point of information: IAs (Integration Agreements) that are "Active" (as opposed to "pending" or draft) are in place to establish what amounts to a "contract" between the custodial application and either the listed subscriber(s) or in the case of "Supported IAs" all that choose to use the documented component(s). The "contract" for the "Subscription" usage IA only applies to other "Class I" VistA code. The custodial applications in subscribed IAs are under obligation to the subscriber(s) but are under no obligation to other uses of the described components. That also means that other applications using those components are at risk if they use those components, but by the same token, are free as "Class III" code (not supported by VA) to use those components.
To be more explicit, there is no "violation" to use any part of the FOIA VistA ... you just can't "count on it" unless it's Active and Supported (and even that can change with 18 months notice that it's going to be different!) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of smcphelan Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 6:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] TIU Interface for Document Scanning DSS does have an integration agreement with VistA Imaging to use their import an image functionality for our DocManager product. That DocManager product is a scanning application independent of VistA Imaging. However, we use the VI import functionality to get the images into VistA Imaging. But the DocManager application is separate and can be run without VistA Imaging. As it is today, you cannot use the Docmanager application to view images stored in VistA Imaging. DocManager has its own database for storing images. It can be accessed in CPRS via the tools bar menu to view images associated with a patient. We cannot share the import functionality with anyone as that would be a violation of our IA with VistA Imaging. Anyone interested in our application can go to the DSS web site: http://www.dssinc.com. Or you can call sales at 561-227-0207 ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 3:03 PM Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] TIU Interface for Document Scanning > I will see what I can do, I do know that the API's were obtained by > DSS (Document Storage Systems) from the VistA Imaging team.
