I hope that I am on the same page. Our VA records department does scan results such as graphs, EKG, and written data into CPRS so I don't see the problem unless we are talking about two completely different subjects. I don't know the specifics though on how this is done, but I do not that there is a icon on CPRS letting the doctor know that there is a scanned image in CPRS/VISTA.

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? Kevin

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.
