A short meeting met the Certification Work Group for today's call. For the first time in a while, a new certification was not started at the end of the previous one. The DI*22.2*10001: Variable Pointer navigation incorrectly returns empty results moved out of the Certification Cycle and was given an OSEHRA Level 4 Certification. While the OSEHRA folks discuss the Priority Queue later on in the week, the CWG will wait for a new list of objects to start prepping for certification
We’re please to announce a new version of our ViViaN™ visualization toolset. OSEHRA’s VistA Cross Reference (DOX) pages have gotten a great deal of positive feedback from VistA users/developers inside and outside of VA. However, it didn’t capture some of the more obscure package dependencies, and there was no ability to export reports. VA needed both capabilities to assist with internal development efforts, and funded a set of enhanced capabilities.
OSEHRA is pleased to announce Version 14.2 of the Victory Programming Environment (VPE). VPE is a proven, terminal-based, integrated development environment written in MUMPS that provides developers with a wide variety of tools for creating and working with MUMPS programs and data structures. While it was initially designed with VistA in mind, it can also be effective in other MUMPS environments.
The Open Source Electronic Health Record Alliance (OSEHRA) announced today the release of the Version 5.1 of the popHealth® open-source clinical quality measure database and reporting engine. The new release maintains its 2015 Edition Health IT Module certification for Clinical Quality Measure (CQM) reporting criteria: (c)2-4, (d)1-3, (g)4, and (g)5 for the Calendar Year 2018 performance period.
Today OSEHRA unveils our new organization logo and refreshed brand identity. These updates reflect the growth and evolution of our organization since its founding in 2011 and points the way for OSEHRA’s path moving forward. Our community has evolved tremendously over the last seven years, and we felt it was time to explore a new logo to capture and showcase our thriving open ecosystem.
OSEHRA is seeking your valuable input. The Department of Veterans Affairs has expressed an interest in whether the Open Source VistA Community has viable solutions on how toallow users from multiple time zones to use a single VistA instance. All feedback and input on this topic is welcome, including: switching the locale on your computer; reworking how we store dates in VistA; don't do it; and others.
The OSEHRA technical staff has been working for some time to expand our ViViAN™ Visualization Toolset so that RPMS users can get the same visualization and drill-down capability available to VistA users. I’m pleased to announce that through the efforts of Joe Snyder and Sam Habiel, the first version of ViViAN-R™ is now available on the OSEHRA web site (www.osehra.org). The menu option is listed under “Technical Resources”. This is a “version 1” release, so we know there are bugs.
