Peter:
Just a note in amplification of Rustry Maynard's comment. The CCR is a
standard for composing and echmnaging patient EHR data. One part of the
effort to dvelope a "Continuity of Care Record - CCR" component for VistA
is based upon ASTM Standard E-1384 Standard Practice for the Structure
and Content of the EHR" found in ASTM Book of Standards vol 14.01. There
are a whole host of related standards found in that book which gets at the
Conceptual content of what is in VistA. There are other complementing
standards by SDOs who are members of ANSI HISB which is the US standards
coordinating body for healthacre informatics; HL7 is another of the SDOs
that are HISB members. The CCR effort (of which Nancy A is a member) is
directed at mapping the appropriate VistA data elements to those from
E-1384 that comprise particular text segments of the CCR. The CCR is a
structured text convention for representing the various types of
information that has been traditionally written in a paper patient record
for communication among healthcare enterprises not having a
standards-based healkth information architecture. The VistA Community is
in the process of being intimately involved in documenting how VistA
represents the current body of standards and the evolutionary pathway.

Peter,
Thanks for your introductory post.
I'll just say that the programmers on the list are helpful to non programmers
such as you or I who havent become so nearly native in communicating with
heiroglyphics...and there are many facets to a WV meeting.
A recent thread on the list touched on what I snipped from your interests
http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=mlists&forum_id=41331&group_id=2386&words=human+factors+20th&imageField.x=11&imageField.y=4
After some meandering on topics of user interface there was mention of
the CCR map for VistA as "the first iteration" in the direction of a larger
standardized health record

I think you are in the right place.

Alone in the wilds
I realized the obvious, that the adoption of a standardized electronic
health record (schema) can make a host of health oriented initiatives
possible.
