Open-Source Health IT Systems Hold Promise, But Obstacles Remain

,----[ Quote ]
| Since VistA's introduction in 1982, numerous independent software 
| developers have created products based on VistA's source code.
| 
| Such products are used in health care facilities in New York, 
| Texas, West Virginia and elsewhere.
| 
| In April, Senate Finance Subcommittee on Health Care Chair Jay 
| Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) strove to build on VistA by introducing 
| legislation to promote open-source EHR adoption among rural 
| health 
| care providers and small physician practices.
