| At Midland, these two trends culminated in the deployment of
| Medsphere Systems' OpenVista, a Linux-based EHR platform with
| roots in the highly acclaimed Open Source VistA system developed
| by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

| Red Hat Linux and was phased in over a seven-month period
| at two hospital campuses in this city of 95,000, located
| midway between El Paso and Fort Worth...

There are several initiatives that standardise data and
promote better exchange of medical data over open

be crashing during surgeries, it drains taxpayers' money
and it locks/bind patients' data to a single vendor.
