Yes, we definitely do not want to reinvent -- or even modify -- CPRS. We do, however, need to augment its functionality to address small-office/clinic workflow issues and provide some automated, user-friendly linkages to an existing practice management system. We were hoping that we could use a Java client to access some of the existing VistA RPC calls and, perhaps, do a little (as little as possible) MUMPS coding to add a couple of our own RPCs on the server side.

There have been many who think it would be relatively easy to replace CPRS with something done in "X", but it is just not that simple. Take a look at the parameters, etc., in the technical manual to get a hint at what you would be getting into. I spoke with someone at the VA who said that they have repeatedly been approached by companies thinking they could do it who had no idea how tough it would be. When they looked at it in more depth, it sobered them up a bit. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
