What is VistA?
VistA is the healthcare information system developed for use by the Department of Veterans Affairs to support the hospitals and clinics serving veterans throughout the US.
VistA is an enterprise-wide, fully integrated, fully functional information system built around an electronic health record.
With over one hundred separate modules, VistA can be configured to fit any type of healthcare organization, from clinics and medical practices to nursing homes and large hospitals.
VistA is available in the public domain, so there are no license fees to use the software. This makes VistA an affordable electronic health record system for healthcare organizations.
