Package
The set of programs, files, documentation, help prompts, and installation procedures required for a given software application. For example, Laboratory, Pharmacy, and MAS are packages. A VistA software environment composed of elements specified via the Kernel’s Package file. Elements include files and associated templates, namespaced routines, and namespaced file entries from the Option, Key, Help Frame, Bulletin, and Function files. Packages are transported using VA FileMan’s DIFROM routine that creates initialization routines to bundle the files and records for export. Installing a package involves the execution of initialization routines that create the required software environment. Verified packages include documentation. As public domain software, verified packages may be requested through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
