Introduction to the VistA Clinical Dashboard

This is software that consists of a dashboard container, rules engine software for some of the dashboard modules, as well as RPCs and mumps routines to access VistA information for dashboard display. The dashboard was designed to provide list-centric, real time information from VistA to the user working directly with the patients. It can also be used by other key staff that need timely clinical metrics.

1. The design is modular and extensible
2. Programmers can write modules
3. Some modules can be configured by Clinical Applications Coordinators using the included Rules Engine and/or the Reminders Package in VistA
4. End users do not need to access character-based server side of VistA. Instead they choose the same lists they use in CPRS.
5. Windows-based GUI.

Download the Install

Download zip here.

To install, load Dashboard and Rules Engine Open Source Release.KID into your VistA system, and put the exes on a Windows Machine. No installation is necessary.

The exes need to find Medsphere.OpenVista.Remoting.dll and Medsphere.OpenVista.Shared.dll on your %PATH% or in the same directory as your exes.

There are two exes:

• Dashboard.exe
• RulesEngine.exe

To run them, invoke them with the s= and p= arguments used for CPRS.
