Re: VistA - The First Amputation
by Ignacio H. Valdes, MD, MS on Wednesday November 07, @11:38AM

Anonymous sources say that this isn't the first time that the VA has tried to 'modernize' with 'commercial' aka 'proprietary' software. Previous efforts have been either abandoned or eternally 'still in progress' when it was found that the existing VistA system substantially outperformed fill-in-the-blank 'commercial' (proprietary) health IT software either in functionality or financially or both. However, after these contracts get signed, the proprietary vendor gets paid whether it is actually implemented or not. Interesting world we live in. -- IV
