Integrations Agreements, sometimes called IAs, or Database Administrator Integration Agreements (DBIAs) are published Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) to VistA code that are usable outside of the package that provides the agreement. Integration Agreements have different usage statuses. They may be supported, private, or controlled subscription. A supported IA is one that is able to be used by any code, without limit. A private IA is one that only may be used by a specific package, with a particular purpose. A controlled subscription IA is one that is used by a specific list of packages that subscribe to it.

On the VistApedia Wiki, each integration aggreement is on a page named IA ###, e.g. for integration agreement 167, the page IA 167 documents that agreement.

The VA regularly pubishes the active agreements on the ftp site at

The VA also publishes the retired agreements at:

and finally, the text of the agreements (in the form of a CAPTIONED output) are at:

Here are the VistApedia archives of those:

The text of the agreements is on the individual IA pages
