Hi Joseph, Could you give more information or URL that points to how Vista dances with XML? All I can find is this from the hardhat site (http://www.hardhats.org/projects/mta99/hardhats_tracking.html): ---- start quote ---- # Strategic Planning for VistA Systems: An area of the site will present information on migrating user interfaces, database redesign, package rewrites, how to prepare applications for a detached user interface (UI), leveraging XML, etc. ---- end quote ---- Since it appears to be from 1999, it is probably quite outdated. > In fact the VA has a project underway called My HealtheVet > www.health-evet.va.gov which gives veterans access to their health > records and other health support information via the web. If I understand Harold correctly, he is talking about access-control and ultimately patient-controlled access to records. Some of the goals were previously outlined in our discussion: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06761.html I am sure these goals can be achieved in any medical record system, including Vista. However, do you know where we can find out what Vista's current access-control capabilities are? > This is in part to smooth the transition of the veteran into civilian > life. Sound fine. In order to contribute to any endeaver, we need to understand and study it first. If the Vista experts are willing to answer some questions, we will be able get up to speed sooner. By the way, can OSCAR and Vista play together? Best regards, Andrew --- Andrew P. Ho, M.D. OIO: Open Infrastructure for Outcomes www.TxOutcome.Org
