Channel: LF Public Health
Date: 2022-11-04

Join Rafael M. Richards, MD MS, architect at the Veteran's Affairs Care Cloud (US Department of Veterans Affairs) for a webinar that dives into the VA's VISTA Cloud system. The VISTA system serves as the backbone of the VA's VA-CPRS EHR, conducting over 200 million daily transactions and serving over 380,000 VA staff and 1,500 facilities. The VA-CPRS EHR was the top-rated EHR among physicians in a 2016 EHR comparison conducted by Medscape (n=15,285).

Our webinar will explore the Cloud project (https://cloudvista.github.io/) and how open source software maintained in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation contributes to improving access and exchange of veteran health data.
