--==[ VistA - The Best Healthcare Anywhere ]==-- http://www.hosef.org/civicspace/opensourcepizza/august2007 http://www.cyberpizzahawaii.com Info: Tue, Aug 21 @ 5:50-7:30pm - University of Hawaii Manoa Campus: Marine Science Building Auditorium, Room 114 - $8 if you want pizza and drink Speaker: Sonia Lee-Gushi from Blue Cliff, Inc. VistA (not to be confused with Vista - the latest version of Windows from Microsoft) is a Free/Open Source Integrated Healthcare Information System that runs all hospitals and clinics under the US Veterans Administration (VA). VistA was developed and is being actively enhanced and maintained by a group of programmers and users at the VA known as the "Hardhats". VistA is now being adopted by health care practices of all kinds around the world because of its ease of use, efficiency, strong support by the VA and others, extensibility and the natural benefits conveyed by Open Source versus proprietary software. Hawaii has been at the forefront of the move to transfer this technology from its VA source to the non-VA public and private sectors and Blue Cliff Inc, located in the Manoa Innovation Center, has been a major contributor to this effort. Sonia Lee-Gushi is an Application Analyst/Educator for BlueCliff's VistA-EMR and is highly regarded within the worldwide VistA community for her knowledge and abilities. Please join us as Sonia shows us what many regard as the future of healthcare information systems. ________________________________________________________________________ Other: Directions: on UH Campus take Dole turn north on East West Rd. – FIRST LEFT into unnamed access road to lot # 11 Mention to the guard that you are there for the Open Source Pizza presentation. _______________________________________________ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau
