  Description     : Real time health care information system including electronic health record

VistA is the complete health care information system (HIS) which is
developed and used by the US Department of Veterans Affairs to run all
of its hospitals and clinics.  It is in the public domain through the
US Freedom of Information Act.  Versions are also in use both in the
US and internationally, including the US Department of Defense, the US
Indian Health Service, the Mexican Instituto Mexicano del Seguro
Social, etc.  There are also flavors of VistA provided by WorldVistA
(http://worldvista.org) and Medsphere (http://medsphere.org).

I intend to create a VistA meta package that can be satisfied by other
packages, such as WorldVistA EHR or OpenVista.
