Hi Shaun.
No, I don’t think you’re wrong. I think we’re looking at VISTA as an EHR with hooks; very analogous to how we are looking at OpenMRS. VISTA is not a pure HIE play in any of the implementations I know about.

Subject: Re: OpenVista as an SHR
I too have limited visibility into the VISTA family of products, but one of my basic (perhaps incorrect?) understanding is that VISTA is primarily an EHR product targeted for deployment at the edge of health care infrastructure, not explicitly supplying the infrastructure to support a diverse ecosystem of health IT applications. Not sure if that point was clear. Some germane links:
http://slidesha.re/10xe4V3
http://bit.ly/142gurm
http://bit.ly/ypcwv4
http://bit.ly/1bVHZGh
My reading of these sources suggest that VISTA more closely reflects an EHR, not an HIE infrastructure, though I could be wrong.
Best,
Shaun

Hi Ryan.
No… sorry… I don’t have a bead on what are the differences between these two products. I know the WorldVISTA product maintains CCHIT certification in the US so its users are eligible for ARRA funding but I don’t know if OpenVISTA also has this. I also know Joseph has been active in Jordan; WorldVISTA was chosen by the Jordanians to be the national eHealth infrastructure there so it certainly has a track record in that regard. It was also chosen as the infrastructure for one of the jurisdictions in northern Mexico.
Hope that helps… sorry I’m not able to provide more detail.
Warmest regards,
Derek.

Hi Derek,
Thanks for the clarification about WorldVista and OpenVista. Do you perhaps know what the differences between WorldVista and OpenVista are? Are there major differences? Are the communities focussing on taking the system in different directions?
@All: Also, to Hannes original question, if there is anyone that has some familiarity with the *Vista projects please let us know. We’d like to get as familiar as possible with it ourselves as it seems like a decent option.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi all.
OpenVISTA and WorldVISTA are two different “products” made from the same underlying codebase (the open source VISTA codebase from the US Veteran’s Health Administration).
WorldVISTA is a good option in the same way OpenVISTA is – but Joseph Dal Molin won’t be able to help with OpenVISTA. That said, he is a terrific fellow and it is worthwhile contact to pursue in tandem with a willingness to look at the WorldVISTA product (which was implemented in Jordan and northern Mexico as their comprehensive eHealth infrastructure).
Just a thought,
Derek.
