None of these programs You explain that this is so because none of these programs have been designed to be interoperable, which is fair (at least generally -- there might be something out there that IS designed to be interoperable), but it is still a disturbing statement. This kind of complacency can only hurt VistA and EMR software generally. No one has been able to show why interoperability is difficult to achieve in principle. Instead, there has been a tendency to acknowledge that existing systems present real difficulties and then move on without much further comment. This is dangerous because it encourages a situation where VistA becomes a world of its own, effectively cut off from initiatives and projects outside the VistA world. === Gregory Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Judge a man by his questions not his answers." --Voltaire _______________________________________________ Hardhats-members mailing list Hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members
