Using VistA in a Health IT curriculum

There currently are several grants available to set up Health IT training curricula, at the university level, at the community college level, and as "Beacon Communities" (i.e. a local expertise extension centers). WorldVistA allows an entire EHR simulation to be set up for free in a computer lab of a training institution. There is no other complex and comprehensive EHR system like it that is available for training for free.

Solving problems related to networking, mobile access, security, access controls, interfaces with other systems (labs, PACS, etc.), and other common EHR "learning curve: issues can be done in a lab environment before a health IT student goes into the "real world."

Combined with a distance learning package that includes distance learning (using the free online-curriculum products Moodle or Claroline, for example), screencasts, webinars (using free products such as DimDim, BigBlue Button, or WebHuddle) and remote access to VistA servers in the teaching computer lab, a comprehensive Health IT curriculum even for remote students can be established.

No other EHR allow this flexibility.
