We are reporting live from the 9th annual VistA community meeting on the campus of Rice University in Houston, Texas. According to WorldVistA President Rick Marshall, this meeting originally grew from the need for the people inside the Veterans Administration and outside the Veterans Administration to get together to talk about VistA. It has grown into much more than that since then to include the group that is creating a completely free/open-source stack of the Veterans Administration VistA healthcare software collectively called OpenVistA. More developments as they occur.
