Ignacio Valdes, a psychiatrist in Houston TX, has been charged with implementing VistA for a chain of psychiatric facilities. He has posted his progress on the Hardhats discussion group [1]. Some of the threads are reproduced here.

The traditional method for implementing a new VistA instance has been likened to an old-fashioned barn-raising: at the appointed time the holders of "institutional memory" would gather and put the thing together. There was no written blueprint, yet at the end of the day there would be a solid, usable structure in place. The unedited discussions quoted here give a taste of the skill and wackiness of such a gathering.

In this case however, the ultimate goal is not just a new VistA instance, but also a blueprint for how to do it.

Note that this page is a work in progress; see Hardhats [2] for logs that do not appear here.
