Houston Confirms VistA GUI-Scheduling Has Landed

,----[ Quote ]
| It began at the dinner table with two software engineers at a VistA Community 
| Meeting and ended 3 weeks later with Graphic User Interface Scheduling for 
| VistA.  
| 
| While coming equipped with powerful text-based scheduling capabilities, the 
| private-sector VistA and WorldVistA(tm) Electronic Medical Record system 
| communities have long wanted but lacked a Graphic User Interface scheduling 
| front end. Ignacio Valdes, MD, MS reports "The wait is over. Sam has done 
| it."

Should Health Care Standards be Open Source?

,----[ Quote ]
| My argument is that the $100 really isn’t the point, but it is the lack of
| access, the lack of “eyeballs” that this situation causes acts as an
| impediment to health care transformation.  The fact that Jack, the computer
| science undergraduate, can’t just go download a copy and start building the
| next big Health 2.0 company should be a real source of concern.  I’d argue
| that the total openness of protocols such as HTTP, and TCP/IP is one of the
| key reasons why the Internet itself works and is generally interoperable.
| In the words of Linus Trorvalds, “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are
| shallow”.
