[Hardhats-members] Roll/Scroll changes for Fileman

2005-07-24 Thread TMaynard
I have some general questions about where the Fileman user interface will evolve. I was able to hear parts of George Timson's discussion of Fileman in Boston via the Teamspeak broadcast, but without benefit of his visuals. There was enthusiasm for devloping possible mouse driven user interface

The mouse additions didn't seem to involve actual database access. Just the ability to jump from field to field in a screenman form, for example. And these changes were sponsored by Medsphere. It is unclear to me if the VA wants to incorporate that code back into their installation base.

Good, then maybe we can put the little trademark symbol next to it and get the newspapers to publish it correctly so there is less ambiguity. On Sunday 24 July 2005 11:01 pm, Cameron Schlehuber wrote: Roy is the architect on the Health Data Repository team. Roy came up with VA Information

[Hardhats-members] Lab interface questions... LSI?

2005-07-24 Thread Kevin Toppenberg
I would like to get our VistA interfaced with our lab. I have been reading the Lab technical manual (Lab5_2tm.pdf). It looks like it is designed for the various pieces of lab equipment to be connected to the computer through a LSI device--a data concentrator. These initials aren't defined. At

Nancy, As one who often finds myself writing Vista instead of VistA, I think we should embrace the new-found popularity of the name? Trying to change the world and accept a capital letter at the end of a word may be more difficult than taking advantage of the reluctance to do so. Windows Vista

I can't help wondering about the future, if the VA does re-engineer VistA. I can't help wondering about the irony if, by that time, the rest of the world has adopted VistA/VistA-Office as the standard. On Jul 21, 2005, at 7:30 PM, Nancy Anthracite wrote: The VistA demo server seemed to be

Except the standard shouldn't be in the code but in the processes (services and applications) and in the interfaces (user and system to system). VOE will have to be kept up to date in private offices just as much as VistA is at VA sites. That means there will likely be at least quarterly (if not

There are some commercial tools (basically, specialized Interface Engines) that VA currently uses. If folks haven't responded with the make and models used in VA by Monday, I'll try to get the information to post. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On

If you are talking about lab interfaces to instruments, the VA mostly uses concentrators from Data Innovations and Dawning Technologies. These are PC-based systems. DI uses Cache; I don't know what Dawning uses. Prior to using these interface engines, lots of interfaces were written directly
