In April,
Phillip Longman, a senior fellow at the
New America Foundation and author of
Best Care Anywhere: Why VA Health Care Is Better Than Yours, told
the tech website ZDNet that the government "could wire Walter Reed or
Bethesda (the two biggest military hospitals) for VistA in an
afternoon. Technically, there's no big problem." In fact, VistA's code
is so flexible that it's even been adapted for use in other countries. "Yet," said Longman, "there are DOD people who have built their careers on AHLTA and want people to switch to their system."
