For help with installation etc. we do not have a separate discussion forum for WorldVistA instead we decided 4 years ago to use the existing Hardhats discussion forum.....it is quite lively these days with several folks in the process of installing the software and getting help from the list....Our greatest challenge is creating a good set of instructions for configuration etc. so help from newbies is really appreciated because they ask all the right questions. Thanks to KS Bhaskar and others the install process has been extremely simplified....there is a self booting CD that will do most of this for you now.
Our next WorldVistA community meeting is next week in Boston.....recent developments triggered in part by the progress reported last week indicate that we may have some further very encouraging news about CPRS soon after that.
cheers,
Joseph

As many as 98,000 people die each year as a result
of preventable medical errors which Free and Open Source electronic
medical records software could reduce. A contender in this area is
the Veterans Administration (VA) public domain VistA codebase and
large community. In a major advance for FOSS in medicine, Joseph Dal
Molin of WorldVistA reports success in getting the VA
Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) VistA client running on Linux
using WINE and Crossover office. The CPRS client formerly ran only
on the Microsoft Windows operating system and is widely deployed on
thousands of workstations within the United States VA system.
