The strongest point of the VA system is their EHR. I used it extensively during medical school, and really is the only feature that should be copied from the VA system. DB and #1 Dinosaur comment on a Washington Post article.

Since VISTA is free and easy to use can we ask wht the DoD wasted $12 billion taxpayer dollars on the development of a worthless, slow, and overly complex EMR of their own called AHLTA? Can someone please do some investigating on this. We have been forced to use this system and lost 50% of our productivity. It seems the contractors made out like bandits with this one.
I used VISTA extensively from 1994 to 2000 and have yet to find any EHR made today that can match what VISTA had then. A joy to use!
