Kevin,
Firstly am sorry for the MAJOR Delay in Reply. Was
out on a tour!
I was not refering to Clinical / Images specific to
a patient. I meant to find out of VistA Imaging Modules that would be
administrative and department specific. For example a letter that may have been
received in the hospital's administrative office. Can this be scanned
into, forwarded and processed within VistA?
Regards
Anna

Anna,
Yes and no.
1. The VistA Imaging
front end requires a propriatary component that pretty much everyone has given
up one. If you want to spend ~$1000 to buy it, then you should be ready
to go.
2. The server backend will work with other solutions. I
wrote an extension to CPRS that adds an "IMAGES" tab. On this tab, I
embedded an instance of internet explorer. I then make the RPC calls
that ask if any images are available for the currently selected patient.
If so, then the image is downloaded and displayed in CPRS. There are
advantages and disadvantes to this solution (The primary disadvantage is that
one has to copy all the programmed changes in CPRS into every subsequent
release of CPRS). HUI is essentially done with their imaging front-end
solution. They also use propriatary components which means that you
can't get the code and fiddle with it. But the good thing about their
solution is that they can distribute their final compiled .exe file. You
can therefore use their solution. It involves having a stand-alone
application that listens to CPRS broadcast messages and syncs itself with the
currently selected patient.
Does that answer your question? Or
were you asking if it is legal to use the code, i.e. regarding that FDA
warning in the code?

will
someone kindly clarify if any module of VistA can be used for
document
imaging in non-clinical applications? Say someting
that will help in
scaning and/or mailing administrative
documents. Something like a document
imaging system with workflow (which
is not patient specific) for hospital /
organisational administration
purposes.
