Topics
What is OSEHRA VistA?
• The Product Definition Challenge– Distributions– Categories– Capabilities vs. Packages
• How to Look at OSEHRA VistA– The Capability View– The Package View
What is OSEHRA VistA?
• It is all about the audience– New & end user view
• Can VistA run my hospital/clinic?• Can VistA do x?
– Programmer view• Who depends on my code/API? OR• What does my code/API depend on?
Visualizing VistA
• Know the generics– Example: Does VistA have Laboratory
capabilities?
• No existing solution– We just point them to the firehose
• Build a new view based on functional categories and groupings– May/May not care how we solved the problem
technically
End User Audience
• Already knows where the package is (in most cases)
• Needs to have the details• Needs to be approachable by new and
knowledgeable programmers• Linked to by the End User view
– Allows new developers to explore– Can start from the developer view to get a
bird’s eye view of the code
Developer Audience
Visualization Demo
Fileman 22.2: Improving VistA Quality and Safety
• Improvements to Fileman functionality– Over 1,000 bug fixes– Screenman enhancements
• Still used by many clinicians...because it works!• A smoother path to Web UI
Fileman 22.2
• Data Analysis Tools– Indexing to any key field length– Orphan pointer checks into a given file– Automatic auditing of DD changes– Meta Data Dictionary
Fileman 22.2
• Path to future application package enhancements– Fileman development originally part of FLAP
• Can once again run on its own!– Other VistA packages need not be installed– Browser doesn’t require Kernel device file– Extends full Fileman dictionary capabilities
Fileman 22.2
• Path to convergence– Broad adoption mitigates the risk that early
and late implementers will be too far apart on the curve
– Provides a smoother solution path for intake of open-source vendor products built on current versions of Fileman
– Leverages skills and ecosystem knowledge of current open-source VistA community
Fileman 22.2
• Documentation– Navigable online documentation– Convenient section grouping and access– Includes glossary, index, suggestions for best
practices
Fileman 22.2
• Safety– Word processing fields can be audited– Word processing fields can be made
uneditable– Changes can be filtered by user
Fileman 22.2
• Quality– Distributes unit tests based on MUnit– Enables on-demand or continuous monitoring– Unit tests can be run in execution framework– The quality that is baked in, stays in
Fileman 22.2
OSEHRA ImpactOn End Users:A Community Implementer’s Perspective onProduct Management
Denise LeFevreChief Information OfficerOroville Hospital
• Personal reasons– Health issues– Participation in H.I.E.
• Meaningful Use funds
Why Electronic Health Records?
• Single stop shop – Marketplace for Code procurement – What a Ice Cream Shop!
• Pick YOUR flavor• Pick YOUR toppings• Don’t have to worry about extra non-value calories,
worry has been removed, these are proven products!• Adopt, make your own, and share:
Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake?
Lays – Sriracha Chips – Tyler Raineri
Lake Zurich, IL
Chicken Waffle
Code Convergence
• Users have different levels of software need• Different levels of software support
expectation• Different levels of ability to support
hardware• Different levels of Implementation Needs
including setup and education• Different levels of funding – now and
ongoing
Enough to Go Around
• Gather at the Ice Cream Shoppe• Discuss/identify/resolve common but
specific issues• Vulnerability problem prime example
Problem Identification and Resolution
• February 2014– HIMSS 2014, Orlando, Fla.
• September 2014– OSEHRA Summit, Bethesda, Md.
• October 2014– VistA Expo & Symposium, Seattle, Wash.
Pull Together
Tracking theRegulatory Timelines
• ICD-10– Required for billing– Implementation deadline: 1 October 2014– Takes effect in CPRS 30– Partial code-in-flight submitted to OSEHRA
• Meaningful Use Stage 2– Required for Problem List (SNOMED)– Implementation “extended through 2016” (CMS/ONC)– MU2 attestation to begin in 2014 for MU Stage 1
accredited systems (see Halamka blog)
Tracking the Regulatory Timelines
• OSEHRA role– Custodian of VA, community submissions– Not driving schedule but facilitating availability
• Implementer alternatives– Roll your own VistA?– Use a commercial version?– Take advantage of community contributions?– Discussion through 2014-2015 in Product
Management weekly meetings
