some papers relating to the initial VA/DoD sharing between March AFB and Loma Linda VA

[Tom Munnecke]

In preparing for my talk at at the VistA Community Meeting next week, I've scanned and posted some of the papers relating to the issue.

I'd like to think that these are ancient history, but it seems that the issues have become a never-ending story... today's mega-centralized IEHR system is just a replay of the same issues we faced 30 years ago.  their approach has been pretty much failing continuously for 4 decades, but it just seems to keep happening.  Demonstrating a working system that has won awards and user accolades for some reason isn't good enough :(

I think that Octo Barnett's response to the Mitre report is a particularly classic story... http://munnecke.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/1984-Octo-Barnett-responds-to-MITRE-report-on-DoD-methodology1.pdf
