What is generally not known is that the VHA's clinical information system, known as VistA, and the computerized patient record system clinical user interface front end have been successfully transported and implemented to a number of non-VHA healthcare organizations across the United States. Moreover, VistA software modules have been installed, or are being considered for installation, in healthcare institutions around the world in countries such as Mexico, Finland, Jordan, Germany, Nigeria, Egypt, Malaysia, India, Brazil, Pakistan and Samoa. %B Healthcare quarterly (Toronto, Ont.) %V 11 %P 83-9 %8 2008 %N 4 %1 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19068935?dopt=Abstract
