| VA | VA Hybrid Open Systems Technology (VA HOST) | Budget Code: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The purpose of the VA Hybrid Open Systems Technology (VA HOST) program activity is to investigate the feasibility of interfacing commercial technologies with the VA's Integrated Hospital Information System called the Decentralized Hospital Computer Program (DHCP). This interfacing of commercial technologies is based on the development of standards-based interfaces in both the commercial technologies and in the VA DHCP.
The VA HOST program activity has enjoyed positive Congressional attention as a mechanism to support the VA in its efforts to continue to enhance the high level hospital information systems support currently installed at all VA Medical centers. Traditionally, in-house developed, integrated software has provided the basis for the VA DHCP. As more commercial systems become available, and Open Systems standards and technologies evolve, investigation of commercial and Open System technologies for enhancement of the VA DHCP became the focus of this program activity. The VA HOST emphasizes a combination of the best of the in-house integrated system with the best of commercial technologies. Standards-based interfacing technologies are required in the VA HOST program. |
