I'd be very interested. I've been working on my own Pharmacy system and
as you know, the latest medicare bill tried to standardize the digital
prescribing. I felt the whole problem has been, uptil now, attacked
incorrectly. (I haven't even looked at Vista yet). Software in the
healthcare field is a disaster.
What is Vista itself programmed in? I'd be happy, along with NYLXS, to
whom I'm forwarding this to, help get Vista with it's web design as it
needs, and system admin, as it needs. I'm extremely interested in the
project, and I've worked with the VA as a pharmacist for 2 years, and in
the Army for 8.

It has been ported to run on GT.M on GNU/Linux -- an entirely free and open platform. We are only a few years old, and at this point, most of the effort has been voluntary. We just (last week) received a large government contract to provide training for VistA Office EHR see: www.linuxmednews.com/1116853791/index_html. Our main communication channel is a list on sourceforge.net: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members.

If you are experienced with web development, that would be another area where we are short-handed. As far as paying positions -- we have no employees, but there may be consulting/contracting opportunities in conjunction with this new contract or with future grant or contracts which we are trying to get.
