Established by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in August 2011, OSEHRA is focused on establishing a code repository to enable developer collaboration and contribution to architectural and Web-based enhancements of the VA's VistA electronic health record.

The invitation from OSEHRA recognizes Medsphere's long history of code convergence and open source development of VistA-derived health IT systems. While developing OpenVista(R), a comprehensive EHR solution, Medsphere has also made software code and associated development tools available to the open source community, with more than 15,000 software downloads to date.
