EHR Solution
OpenVista®, our comprehensive EHR solution, is a portfolio of clinical support products and professional services that leverages the VistA EHR system developed by the Department of Veterans Affairs over the course of two decades. VistA was widely credited with helping to transform the VA into the nation's most efficient and clinically effective healthcare organization. OpenVista is the most fully commercialized VistA offspring. It represents a responsible reapplication of the VA's $8.5 billion investment, and offers hospitals and clinics a proven EHR solution at a cost far less than proprietary systems.
Unique Business and Implementation Model
Medsphere's subscription-based pricing model lets hospitals, clinics and integrated delivery networks (IDNs) use their operating budget to pay for OpenVista—in other words, no up-front capital costs or back-end balloon payments. Expert implementation and other services—and a unique "Quick Start" policy—facilitate fluid and rapid transition to a paperless clinical environment in six to nine months—record time for an EHR.
The icing on the cake? OpenVista makes best practices and evidence-based medicine virtually automatic.
Medsphere also actively nurtures a Healthcare Open Source Ecosystem. This vibrant global community of customers, partners, developers and other online collaborators is growing daily as it helps drive OpenVista innovation, and provides a parallel development and support structure.
