'Open Source' EHR Systems in Idaho

The installation and use of 'open source' electronic health record (EHR) systems have continued to spread across Idaho and many other states across the U.S.  See the map of healthcare facilities running some variant of the open source VistA electronic health record (EHR) system in the state.

In the state of Idaho, all of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare facilities are continuing to use the well known, award winning VistA System. VA healthcare facilities (i.e. hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing homes) using VistA include the:
