Polaris/Astronaut Browser-Native CPRS Modernization Progress Update
ivaldes
Greetings Hardhats Community -
A quick progress update on Project Polaris/Astronaut. We are continuing work on a browser-native CPRS-style client running directly against VistA/YottaDB while preserving CPRS workflows and semantics.
Current focus is behavioral health/OTP workflows, reminder dialogs, notes, notifications, and BCMA modernization. We already have robust Methadone/Suboxone/OTP workflows, scheduling, and edge-case handling built into legacy VistA and deployed in actual clinical practice. Attached is a current Polaris screenshot from the test environment.
Still a lot of work ahead, but things are moving quickly now.

Hello Hardhats,
I am working with medsphere implementation of Vista and am looking for the source code for the BCMA Windows client (BCMA.exe).
I have access to the M routines (PSB* namespace) and the BCMA server-side code, but I have not been able to locate the Delphi/Object Pascal source for the GUI client.
Does anyone know:
Whether the BCMA GUI source was ever released under FOIA?
Where the latest available source repository can be found?
Whether source exists for BCMA v3.x (or later)?
If not, is there documentation describing the RPCs used by the BCMA client?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sanjay

Greetings Hardhats Community -
A quick Polaris progress update.
We have begun parallel clinical testing as we continue working toward production deployment in our own clinics.
Instead of a screenshot, here is a short demonstration from the current browser-native Polaris test environment:

Current work remains focused on CPRS workflows, reminders, notes, notifications, document signing, and BCMA modernization while preserving compatibility with legacy CPRS and VistA as the system of record.
More to come.

Hi Alvin,
Thank you for your interest and the encouragement. Polaris is still under active development and is currently being validated in our own behavioral health and opioid treatment clinics before any broader release. It is not yet packaged for general installation or classroom use. My long-term goal is to make Polaris broadly available, ideally under an open-source or government-supported model. However, given the substantial ongoing development effort, I'm looking for a sustainable funding pathway or institutional sponsorship before taking that step. If we can identify a viable funding model or academic/government collaboration, I would be very interested in discussing how Polaris could be used for education and research.
I'll continue posting progress updates to the Hardhats community as the project matures.
Best regards,
