from the Medsphere dept.
Press Release: Medsphere Systems Corporation today announced that all legal disputes involving the company and Steve and Scott Shreeve have been settled and resolved by mutual agreement of the parties.
Medsphere looks forward to continuing the recent growth and development of the company. In recent months, Medsphere has signed four new contracts for the implementation of OpenVista, the company's comprehensive open source electronic health record (EHR) based on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) VistA solution. The company recently also announced the appointment of Michael J. Doyle to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer. Digg this article

My congratulations to the Shreeves and my compliments to Medsphere. The Shreeves have definitely been through the ringer, and I am happy to see them come out of this. They did not deserve this treatment, and I hope they feel that they were treated equitably in the end.
Medsphere has a new CEO, and apparently a new direction. A few more high-integrity moves now could go a long way to establishing this company as a dominate VistA vendor.

Of course we don't know the actual outcome for Scott and Steve but I believe as a community we can say it is a new horizon of opportunity.

I too am glad to see this get resolved. Now maybe I can also move along. [comment retracted by the poster]
I do hope that the new CEO can bring back dedicated employees who left because of the rift caused by these issues and my desire to continue to push the use of RPMS/VueCentric in the small hospital/community clinic/doctors office model.
All one has to do is read the recent Medicare/Medicaid study that shows the need for EHR if we are truely going to improve health care in this country or are we just sitting around and let it fail.....as more citizens die from patient care and safety issues.
Let's hope the "Revolution" continues, with new positive energy and a renewed spirit of cooperation and integrity.

I'm happy that this is settled although the terms are unknown still. They will continue to make a giant step in the right direction if they a) Free/Open Source license VueCentric, b) Release the rumored Java version of MUMPS. c) Publicly commit to being a what I call 'pure' FOSS company and not a part proprietary, part FOSS licensed software company. Look to Zope Corp. as a model, NOT 'widget frosting' SugarCRM type companies as a model.
