The VistA Integrated Hospital Information
System is built upon an infrastructure of services that
unite and enrich the various applications (Radiology,
Laboratory, etc.). When armed with an understanding
of the infrastructure foundations of VistA, new developers
will write better software, new support staff will provide
quicker diagnosis and current Application Coordinators
can better function as liaisons.
This three and one-half day course
provides a high level overview of the VistA Infrastructure
modules. Emphasis is placed on the roles, interactions
and the interfaces to these infrastructure modules that
form VistA's foundation.
In addition to his lively teaching techniques, Greg
uses animated Flash movies, like the ones shown below,
to illustrate key concepts. These mini-movies help students
quickly grasp the concepts and stay interested in the
course. Don't bring your pillow.
Topics
covered include:
- VistA Architecture
- MUMPS Environment
- Programmer Conventions
- File Manager
- Task Manager
- Device Manager
- Menu Manager
- Security Manager
- Programmer Tools
- RPC Broker
- Health Level 7
- KIDS (software distribution)
- Patching

Students will have opportunities
to explore the infrastructure modules and to view VistA
programs that use them through hands-on interaction
with a VistA system.
