This page mentions the EHR used by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, known as VistA[0], developed using MUMPS.
Interestingly, the source code for VistA has been obtained via FOIA requests and so the code is available in the public domain[1]. There are now forks of VistA, like OpenVista.
At one point we had to argue with Github to support syntax highlighting for M/MUMPS: https://github.com/github/linguist/pull/148 https://github.com/github/linguist/pull/148

- epmatsw 10y agoThere's a docker image floating around somewhere out there that gets a VistA install up and running.
- thomasjudge 10y agoHas anyone tried this? Played with this? Is this a viable EMR system for an org that doesn't have a lot of money? Like for support either?
