WorldVistA
WorldVistA EHR is an alternative implementation of and based on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs EHR, Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA). It is licensed under the General Public License, GPL, and thus open-source software. It is owned by a charitable organization with the name WorldVistA. It is developed by medical and software professionals on a voluntary basis and not for profit. The group members loosely call themselves "Hardhats".
WorldVistA EHR was formed to extend and improve the VistA electronic health record, and to enable it for use outside of the original setting.
