Re: Top "10 or more" Reasons the VA Should Protect
by Will Ross on Sunday November 11, @10:47AM

| Joseph -- I admire your confidence that the VistA ecosystem will thrive in spite of the new Cerner contract. I concede that a single contract to insert a single proprietary sofware module into the VistA ecosystem horizontally at all VA sites is not enough, by itself, to kill VistA. On the other hand, if Cerner can push their software into 50% of the VA installations over the next five years, then there is no reason that other "beltway bandits" (to use the memorable term uttered by the CEO of Cerner in reference to large health care software contractors who sell to the federal government) cannot similarly threaten the VistA suite one application at a time. I'm not making any predictions, just observations. -- [wr] |
