Who is the VistA Software Alliance?
VistA Software Alliance: A group of companies and individuals have formed the VistA Software Alliance (the “VSA”) to support entities seeking to implement VistA outside of the VA environment. The VSA touts the advantages of VistA as representing “a fully functional, fully integrated, enterprise-wide electronic health record (EHR) system, and is one of the most powerful information systems ever developed. VistA’s modular structure allows the EHR to be precisely tailored to fit the needs of any type of health care organization from simple to complex and everything in between. Because VistA is available in the public domain, there are no license fees to use the software, which significantly reduces total cost of ownership. Additionally, VistA is supported by multiple companies so you have many choices for service.
