Overview

Mission

Worldvista's mission is to improve healthcare worldwide by making medical information technology better and universally affordable, and open source.

What it reported doing in 2025

1. Worldvista continued to provide a meaningful use certified, slightly modified version of the department of veterans affairs open source electronic medical record system, vista called worldvista ehr. It is suitable for use outside of the department of veterans affairs and is provided for download entirely free of charge with installation instructions. This electronic medical record has an open source license and is maintained, updated and improved by worldvista and its volunteers.worldvista ehr is used in hospitals and clinics worldwide including in the us, india and jordan and is generally used in places with limited resources that cannot afford to implement the for profit ehrs (such as cerner and epic) yet offers them as much if not more than the for-profit systems in capability. 2. Worldvista hosts at least two support conference calls a week that are devoted to helping those using or supporting worldvista ehr or to solving problems or improving worldvista ehr and maintaining another software called pophealth. Volunteers also work as time permits providing thousands of hours of work toward helping to maintain and advance vista, worldvista ehr and other open source health related projects. 3. Worldvista hosts a conference each year at least once. These were changed to being virtual with the covid pandemic and have continued as virtual since then. These conferences bring together anyone with an interest in vista and medical related open source software, which includes government, adopters, users, academicians, developers, implementers and volunteers of all interests to discuss advances and ideas and ongoing activities and training for the use of mainly vista, not just worldvista ehr. These conferences are three days long. The 43nd world vista community conferences was held february 20th - 22nd. Conference presentations and slide are recorded and slides posted on the worldvista.org web site. 4. Vista is used for educational purposes in many colleges and universities in the us. The office of the national coordinator for health it funded a project to develop lesson plans and to adapt vista as provided by the va for use in courses to train people to use and support electronic health records. Three universities received grants. Worldvista and its volunteers provided technical assistance free of charge to support that use, in particular, also ported the version of vista that they were using to an all-open-source software stack of software consisting of vista, gt.m or yottadb and linux so that it can be freely downloaded and distributed. The website https://vistapedia.com, https://foiavista.worldvista.org and https://vivian.worldvista.org are also maintained by volunteers. 5. Worldvista's volunteers help maintain or provide various software projects that can be found on github at https://github.com/worldvista/ and dockerhub at https://hub.docker.com/u/worldvista/ and sourceforge at https://sourceforge.net/projects/worldvista-ehr/files/. There are also related projects done by volunteers such as https://github.com/git-user- a/fmview, https://github.com/git-user-a/rpcview, https://trac.opensourcevista.net
