Didn't you hear? WorldVistA has a bid to acquire Oracle and release all their code as open source. :-| === Gregory Woodhouse [EMAIL PROTECTED] Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. --Will Durant On Sep 17, 2005, at 9:08 AM, Mark Street wrote: Could someone post a synopsis of the Community Call yesterday?

Basically, Cynthia Werk of CMMS indicated that the full release of VistA Office would be delayed for about 2 years. There is concern about new legislation and requirements that are on the horizon that they don't quite unerstand how to handle yet. [Personal comment: I applaud Cynthia for coming onto the call and speaking about the CMMS fears. There is a perception that VistA is a product that once deployed cannot be modified. This is the very soul of the VistA model, the ability to adapt to the unknown. This is why this model has survived for more than 25 years. The mechanisms for change and enhancement are built in. VistA is not one package It is a suite of packages which have inter-relationships. Each functionality can progress as long as the interfaces an expectations that other functionalities depend upon are honored. The need for this tool now is great. Giving it to the community will start the flow of real requirements that the Practices will need. One item that came out of the meeting was that there would be 5 to 10 test sites. In the hospital installation environment, there is one maxim, When you have seen one hospital, you have seen one hospital. This is probably very true for the medical pratice as well. More test sites with the understanding that they are test sites will give a better view of what the real needs are.] The VistA Community Meeting is coming up at the end of October and be 3 days long and in the DC area. We are still looking for a venue. - Original Message - From: Mark Street [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2005 9:08 AM Subject: [Hardhats-members] Synopsis of VistA Community Call for 09/16/2005 Could someone post a synopsis of the Community Call yesterday?

I recorded Friday's call. Brian Lord's narrative of the Katrina project is about 5 minutes. And makes me proud to be a Hardhat. I tried to load the .ogg file to the Wiki but it refuses to cooperate. That file is a couple Meg. And I would be happy to share it... or put on the Wiki if that can be fixed. It advertizes preference for .ogg sound files. The rest of the hour is equally interesting... partly for the contrast it provides between CMS and Hardhats. That makes an .ogg file of about 14 Meg. ;-( The Friday conference is becomming more interesting all the time. jlz Colorless green...

More test sites with the understanding that they are test sites will give a better view of what the real needs are.] How true! How true! Thereby the source of practice variation fueling medical errors that prompted David Eddy, M.D., several years ago, to cite the tale of NYC health department sending a group of children to have physician evaluation. Something like 40% had recommended tonsillectomies. The remaining 60% went to a different group of physicians with similar results, and so on, until almost every child had the same recommendation. That study was in 1935. When I entered practice in 1965 the same practice remained in place for another 10 years. I wonder if anyone on this list knows of veterans benefiting from such variation. thurman --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

Brian Lord spoke of the Katrina relief efforts; those I have summarized already. Capt. Cynthia Wark of CMS spoke about VistA Office EHR. The plan is to beta test the software at perhaps 10 sites for 6-9 months. Meanwhile vendors will be qualified to install and support VOE. The code base can be made available to developers but cannot be installed until it is released. Meanwhile, bits of the code that interact with changes that the VA makes in VistA will find their way into the VistA code base and be released with VistA FOIA releases. Others who participated in the call please correct errors and expand on my summary as appropriate. Thank you very much. -- Bhaskar On Sat, 2005-09-17 at 11:08 -0500, Mark Street wrote: Could someone post a synopsis of the Community Call yesterday?
