VistApedia

What is VistA?

VistA is a public domain electronic health record programmed by federal employees working for the US Department of Veterans Affairs (previously the Veterans Administration) over the past several decades. For more info, see this page.

What is RPMS?

RPMS is a public domain electronic health record that is used by the Indian Health Service (IHS). Prior to the 1980s it used a different architecture from VistA, but since the 80's it has shared a large amount of its architecture with VistA. For more info, see this page.

What is Vistapedia?

Vistapedia is a wiki for several varieties of the public domain versions of VistA and RPMS. Information about the integrated VistA installer called Astronaut is also contained within these pages.

This wiki covers installation, configuration, and usage of these VistA derivatives. It also serves as an introduction to the VistA Documentation Library for everyone outside the VA. In addition, current events, development advances, and other news about the flavors of VistA are posted here.

This wiki runs the same software as Wikipedia.

Versions of VistA


There are several versions of VistA that are used outside of the VA. (See this page for some introductory information regarding aspects of the different versions.)

    • vxVista can now be ported to run on the FIS GT.M platform as well. The instructions can be found here (external link).

(Other versions such as da Vinci Vista, VOE Vista, and Hui Vista no longer exist or are no longer maintained.)
