[aklug] EMR or OEMR

A reference to a freely available software project associated with the
Veteran's Administration probably refers to VistA or OpenVistA or another of
the versions of this progam. Wikipedia has an account with links to
software sources.
VistA is one of several current incarnations of the VA's Decentralized
Hospital Computer Program (DHCP), introduced in the early nineteen
eighties. These programs are written in M, the language/database formerly
known as Mumps.
