A recent Hardhats posting mentions the article on VistA that appears at:
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/05/15/8376846/
This very positive treatment of the VA system mentions Dr. Kizer and
Medsphere. One sentence near the end of this article has caused some
confusion:
"...For a fee, Medsphere installs a proprietary version of Vista - called
OpenVista - and provides round-the-clock customer support...."
For those interested, I just want to note that Medsphere's product is NOT
proprietary. ("OpenVista" would not be a very appropriate name for a
proprietary product!) We've installed CUSTOMIZED versions of Vista at
several hospitals, and these customized suites of software include
proprietary components from a few third-party vendors like Sea Island
Systems and Informatix Laboratories Corporation. The basic CPS/VistA
product we install and support is open source.
