Before my total perm disability, I'd gotten very heavily involved with EMR/EHR website development...I had to be exposed to a variety of data formats, incl HL7, DICOM (for imaging), and other approaches...I was heavily involved in insurance database development using SQL, and am thus quite well aware of how involved it actually is...while I was doing my allied health clinical doctorate before my disability, I'd used the VA VISTA environment quite heavily, and actually found it quite good, I was aware it'd been made available as open source, though I'd seen of late that VA was apparently going to use the service EMR/EHR environment, believe me, I've delved into a good deal of med informatics, I'd also thought of trying for an NIH fellowship for it at Natl Library of Med (NLM), as well, I helped develop scripts for clinicians in sevl fields using the environment I was helping to try to develop before my disability, I can assure all of you it's by no means as easy or straightforward as it might initially appear, most definitely, honest....

And I'm not speaking of the HIPAA and/or privacy aspects, I was also well acquainted with various software approaches developed to prevent that, as well...VISTA actually worked reasonably well in VA, I used it for at least 3 yrs to write clinical notes on patients, and, for that reason, got a quite good look at how it actually functioned, as well as more primitive EMR/EHR approaches I had an equally good chance to spend time using at non-VA hospitals....
