My guess is that while database structural integrity is restored, there
is invalid information in the database such as information about

There must be a procedure in VistA to clean out this type of

Usually BASIC is put forward as a bare minmum language. And as I now

My gut feeling is that 90+% of offices have PMs, because the filing of
claims is nearly impossible without a PM. This is in contrast to
about 15% of offices that have EMR's.

Management magazine, which often explores such isues.
Here are the two relevent files.
