I'm forwarding this from openhealth. It seems to me that significant
factor in the adoption of VistA or any other open source solution
(sorry, I just can't bring myself to say FOSS) is interoperability. No
one wants to be locked in to a specific open sourc product or product
suite any more than they want to be locked in to a proprietary
solution. Progress on interoperability could do a lot to address the
risk issue.

---------------------------------
To what extent do existing FLOSS solutions provide services for a
service-based architecture, or make use of those that might be provided
by other systems nearby or distant?

Two of the Master Patient Index candidates looked as though they might
fit in to such an environment...
