Steve; Thisis how VistA got started. It has been slowly pulled away from the end users and handed to 3rd party developers. Wouldn't it be nice to re-empower the end user again? What a concept...

This is the common model of development and it has been very disappointing to the end users. Better the user define their need in code that can be changed quickly to adapt to the current need, then let the REAL Programmers put in the efficiency later, but let the end user get their job done in the mean time. > Has anyone any suggestions on how this could be used as a "selling > point" for introducing VistA? > > Intuitively, it makes sense to put the "prototyping" in the hands of the > users.
