Note that we actively discussed the Life Cycle processes and the prevalent MUMPS Prototyping Life Cycel Model in 1998 and 1999 MDC meetings but we've bee in Never-Neverland since and its time to return to the "real" world and get on with it in order to benefit healthcare as Stephen notes.

I'd like to pick up on this bit...

Right now, this is a tool which allows the end user to direct the application development or we can play telegraph where they try to drescribe the needed application, and then REAL Porgrammers go off and interpret those requirements and force them to use an application that kind of looks like the described application in 6 months or a year later. This is the common model of development and it has been very disappointing to the end users. Better the user define their need in code that can be changed quickly to adapt to the current need, then let the REAL Programmers put in the efficiency later, but let the end user get their job done in the mean time.
Has anyone any suggestions on how this could be used as a "selling point" for introducing VistA?

Intuitively, it makes sense to put the "prototyping" in the hands of the users. Give them something that will get their job done for them, then tidy it up afterwards using all the tricks of the trade, so to speak...

Thanks,
Stephen
