As I predicted, I left names off the list of those who have volunteered and helped out.
Arden Forrey has been actively pushing, pulling, prodding and providing guidance and help in trying to keep this project straight with documentation and adherence to standards. I confess to being a bit of a dud as a pupil, but I did join the ASTM so I could get the standards to follow and I am learning. I really believe standards are VERY important, and the biggest proof of that for this project at this stage is how important what the Pedi SIG is doing is to this project. Arden is working on the documentation for those planning to adopt VistA and starting it for the Pedi and OBGYN projects. He has also been lining me up with people to talk with about all of these issues. As I was driving home tonight, I recalled that Chris Richardson, Joseph Dal Molin, Rick Marshall and Norman Dodd have been helping me connect the dots to people and sources of information for a long time, even before this project really was named a project. I know I will never acknowledge everyone who has help both directly and indirectly. I guess that is what makes WorldVistA work and makes us a community. Everyone pitches in. There will need to be lots of pitching in if this is going to succeed. Steve Miyasato and Fil Beza both wrote to me today and offered help, and you all saw Pat Evans' post. Steve has got the same handicap I have, being an internist! Fil always has always been there to help, nights, weekends, whenever. There was never any doubt in my mind he would help.
