VistA: Antiquated or Proven?

Posted by Fred Trotter on Thursday June 28, @06:25PM
from the dept.
Recently Joseph Conn wrote an excellent article on VistA. A Modern Healthcare reader replied with a comment titled Antiquated system slowing EHR transformation which essentially argued that VistA was holding health IT back... because its old.

Thankfully Modern Healthcare has also published my reply VistA: You say 'antiquated;' I say 'proven'. I offer more thoughts on the subject over at GPLMedicine.org in my post 'antiquated' vs 'proven'
