'Experience the Freedom of Open Source'
Medsphere OpenVista represents a single solution that can be leveraged across the continuum of acute, ambulatory and longterm-care environments as well as in multi-facility, multi-specialty healthcare organizations. The high degree of integration across the enterprise offers significant advantages in increasing clinical performance, reducing costs and improving healthcare outcomes. It also facilitates the collection of data for the extended care team and for nonclinical care uses such as billing, quality management, outcomes reporting and resource planning . . .
The Open Source Advantage
An Open Source approach provides clients with resources beyond what Medsphere alone can bring. Medsphere serves as the facilitator of an organic Healthcare Open Source Ecosystem that revolves around VistA-based IT solutions, the benefits of which flow back to customers in the form of OpenVista enhancements and upgrades. The Ecosystem enables the community to see what Medsphere is doing, which builds trust and shared commitment, and focuses on the patient as the primary beneficiary of OpenVista development efforts.
The Ecosystem serves customer partner facilities as a constant source of system upgrades and enhancements. The economic value of this Open Source network is difficult to calculate, but the costs to replicate it within a single organization would be substantial. OpenVista also makes customers members in a cooperative venture oriented around improving healthcare for all involved . . .
