OSEHRA 2016 Summit to Address Range of Open Health Projects from Global Health IT to the Next Steps for VistA
Can you believe that we are less than 2 weeks from the OSEHRA Summit? We and the open source community have had an interesting year full of changes and success stories. Our speakers will address all of these topics, including various aspects of VistA. Many things have been said about VistA both publically and privately in the past couple of months, so I want to point your attention to our Summit’s approach.

VistA is Going Places, and Also Staying Put
The Veterans Health Administration's hospital software, VistA, is a computing legend. Few pieces of software have become the subject of a popular book (Best Care Anywhere), won repeated awards for their usability, or been credited with a 180-degree turn-around in an organization's quality. But VistA is getting long in the tooth, and many--including now the VA itself--are questioning whether it's time for something new.The speculations aren't just about VistA. They extend to all health care software of that generation, including the industry's leading electroinc health record (EHR) system--Epic--and the venerable Intermountain Healthcare.
