Fred, I think what you are saying is good in theory, but to me it seems impractical. One the one hand you have VistA, with ongoing revisions to the software (it seems there is a new CPRS every month or so) by a entity that is not going to alter it's actions to mesh with open source. And on the other hand you have the ClearHealth package that is likely designed to overlap what CPRS does etc.
I just went to the ClearHealth and ran the Demo. It seems mostly like a practice management system (i.e. calendars, encounters, billing), but I found it hard to find the "chart", i.e. progress notes etc. So perhaps I don't have anything helpful to add here. I just hated that you weren't getting many answers. I just seems that it would be a difficult marriage.
