Hi.
Have you ever heard reports that some people are reluctant to take up vista outside the VA, not because of cost or functionality, but because of concerns that it will wither because the VA isn't committed to it? I've heard that as a general theroy, but if you know of anyone specific, I'd
There is now a health record available on the Internet for 'every
American at no cost' called iHealth Record which is supposedly

Dear Gran'pa Z,
Where's the wiki you mentioned?
How'd your Des Moines surprise go? Grandchildren sure

of us lately, and it is pleasant to have her warming up to me!
The grandson is going through an intensely mama's boy only

OK. Thanks. It would be cool if there was a bridge
(API call), but no big deal if there is not.
Thanks

VistA VA support is great. However, it isnt the only reason to go

Don't think that will work. The functions operate on FileMan fields. There
isn't much need if you are sending code, just store it as a routine and call
it. I am don't use (or know) param so I could be wrong here. The print

It is nice you have developed a M API to convert dates. Everything you show
here (except for the at exactly) has been part of VistA for 10 years or
more... See XLFDT it is more robust than what you show here.

Well, this is kind of like asking the choir if they

But I have some personal experience with this. I am a
physician who has installed this myself in a multiple

At an AMIA meeting,a year ago, I was asked the essentially rhetorical
question, If the VA is getting rid of VistA because it is written in M,
then why should anybody else be interested in it? by docs who will admit to
never having laid eyes on VistA. Apparently you have heard it, too. Makes
I suppose there are some that would say it's not a learning curve, but
a learning distribution (specifically, a delta function)!
Okay, I'm not a doctor, I'm a software developer who has spent most of
his career working with VistA. Some problems are inherently hard, and
we should expect them to

The FM functions are evaluated and then used to drive the generation of
code, so there isn't an API available. A classic approach would have
APIs and pass the parameters to them, but back in the day, code that
was executed was many times faster than running a routine, if you could
squeeze it
Even now, it's not uncommon to define small frequently used functions as inline in C/C++. It has the same effect (the code is expanded inline at compile time) as an alternative to allocating a new stack frame and going through the whole call/return process. Regardless of whether or not this was
The question Steve reports as well as the one Nancy states are both
reasonable questions. While VA is committed to changing the infrastructure

least five to ten years. Moving VistA to VistA-HealtheVet will certainly
