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 to allow 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. 

ViViAN™ Expanded to Include RPMS

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.

YottaDB LLC bakes Raspberry Pi

New Synthetic Patient Data Project Group

OSEHRA is pleased to announce the formation of a new Open Source Project Group focused on the generation of synthetic patient data. This project group will work to develop an open source toolset for creating clinically valid synthetic data and import it into VistA and RPMS for testing. Existing products and services such as Synthea and MiHIN will be surveyed, and will serve as the launch points for this project.
