Rewiring the VA
,----[ Quote ]
| Much of the attention of the healthcare industry over the past several weeks
| has been focused on Washington and the various proposals before Congress to
| boost the faltering economy, including spending billions of dollars
| subsidizing health information technology.
|
| [...]
|
| The question is whether the Veterans Health Information Systems and
| Technology Architecture, or VistA—the clinical information system that powers
| the VA health system—will wither or bloom in the months and years ahead. It’s
| an issue that has implications not only for millions of veterans but also
| millions of other potential users of open-source and proprietary versions of
| VistA, both in the private and public sectors in the U.S. and abroad.
