VistA UI Efforts

[Harshal Shah]

Hi All,

From whatever VistA knowledge that I could gather in a couple of months, I could come across the following UI modules in VistA.

1. VistA CPRS
2. VistA Outreach (For Patient Registration)
3. VistA Configuration Utility (By Kevin)
4. VistA Patient Registration Module on the lines of CPRS (By Kevin)

It would be really helpful if the community can help identify if there are any other UI efforts which I might have missed.

-Thanks
Harshal

Probably more, these come to mind immediately

PCMM - Primary Care Management Module
ASISTS - Automated Safety Incident Surveillance Tracking System
Clinical Procedures UI
HealtheVet

[mkra...@gmail.com]

There is also the Bar Code Medication Administration module and Quasar
which handles audiology assessmentes.

Hi,

Where can one find the software and its documentation for all these packages ?
I am plodding thru the VistA site and am trying to link up the Vistamonograph, with the VEHU documentation and the ER Diagrams.

WorldvistA/VistA Outreach Registration GUI

It would be good to list what type of GUi, Delphi etc.

All;

This is why the community is so important. Nobody knows all of these
interfaces and as people get to work with this code, there will be more
and even more clever approaches tried by those who need access. The
community is a place where these needs and attempts can come together
and organizations can put a little money or resources (paid personnel)
to these projects and get them done faster. The more you want these
interfaces, the more you should invest in time and resources to make it
possible for these things to happen out in the community. The more an
organization invests in such an interface, the more say they have in
the outcome. Look at UC Davis Veteranary School. With a team of less
than ten they built m2web and have continually upgraded the tools to
become something pretty remarkable. With some small measure of
funding, such interfaces should be much more common. This is the power
of the VistA Model, it is polymorphic. It can be reached by nearly
every access method someone has decided to use to get at it. It can
work with Roll and scroll, to GUI, to messageing. Money and resources
are accellerators for these processes. There are a lot of clinics and
hospitals who could use these access methods, small investments by
these users of the software can move things along much faster.

Yeah but are there some interfaces built to say the RPC broker so that
we can build stuff in other languages like PHP, Python, etc rather
than the default Delphi? -- IV

Medsphere's open source release of OpenVistA CIS includes a C# library
for communicating to the RPC broker. Being built on .NET, it can
actually be used from C#, VB .NET, etc. It's also fully cross-platform,
and works on Linux/OS X via Mono.

Those that come immediately to mind are VistALink, EsiObjects, M2Web, and HL7,
and RPC calls wrapped as Web Services like we have been hearing about on
hardhats. The CCR-CCD project will eventually be using those.

One other GUI that I didn't see managed was the Vitals management GUI.

What sort of stuff do you want to build? What building blocks do you need? Do you have anything specific in mind?

Thank you all for the responses.

Based on the set of responses I have compiled an excel sheet which will help the community/newbies get this information regarding the total UI efforts at one location. I am not sure if this can be posted at some central place.

Also there are certain columns (like the location for certain user interface binaries) which I was not aware of and therefore are empty. It would be great if this can be filled up to have a single point of contact for the user interfaces in and around VistA.

-Thanks

[Joseph Dal Molin]

Thank you for creating the table Harshal.... I have started a new page
WorldVistA website which will contain the information in your table:

http://worldvista.org/Software_Download/worldvista-ehr-guis

We can add descriptive categories and other information as needed. I
didn't use a table format for now....that can be added later.

Cheers,

Joseph

Group-

I wanted to thank Harshal for putting together this initial list.  As Chris said, it's vital that this community put our heads together and share the knowledge. I wanted this information to be dynamic and collaborative -- i.e., a wiki page, rather than a spreadsheet.  I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong, but I could not find the listing of software at the link below.  Also, I'm not sure if the community can edit those pages.

I took the list from this thread and added what I knew to it.  It's now posted here and ready for others to add/update as they see fit: http://medsphere.org/docs/DOC-1195

Thanks, Ben

PS...  A few on this list are aware that Medsphere.org has been relaunched into community platform.  We are in "soft launch" mode, as we test out the site.  That said, all Hardhats are welcome to browse around the site and join in if they so choose.

Hi Ben,

Harshal contacted me off list yesterday to ask for a Plone account which
we have provided at members.worldvista.org which is a community editable
(if that's a word) site that was established last year. I was holding
off doing anything else as he indicated that he wanted to tweak the
categories some more.

Cheers,

Joseph

Okay, sounds good.  I definitely think "community editable" is must-have!  Is there someway community members can register so we can keep the lists updated?

I didn't see anything online just yet for the GUIs, but we can combine the lists when you're ready.  I also went ahead and published the list of Development Toolkits.  We looked at this sometime ago, so I added all the toolkits we had evaluated here: http://medsphere.org/docs/DOC-1198

Hi All,

The compiled list is now available at the following location

http://members.worldvista.org/documentation/manual/worldvista-ui-efforts/vista-ui

Request all to update un-filled information and also add if there are other UI efforts which might have been missed out.

Thanks Joseph and Peter for creating the login at members.worldvista.org

-Thanks
Harshal

[kdt...@gmail.com]

When did this get created? I haven't seen it before.

Kevin

[Joseph Dal Molin]

If you mean the members.worldvista.org site.....well over a year,
probably even two ago....you even have an account on the site Kevin.

If you mean the list of GUI's, Harshal put that together last week.

The link you provided for M2Web is an ancient document (at least 10 years old) describing MHTTP, our old DTM based web server. That does not link very directly to VistA or GT.M or M2Web development from the last 10 years. The links in my sig below are more current

[Joseph Dal Molin]

Fixed.... added link to the demo system.
