Medsphere's OpenVista solution is an open-source electronic health record system designed mainly for hospitals and integrated delivery networks. The OpenVista portfolio of clinical support products and professional services leverages the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs VistA, which is widely credited with helping transform the VA into the nation's most efficient and clinically effective healthcare organization. OpenVista, the most fully commercialized VistA offspring, is a responsible reapplication of the VA's $8.5 billion investment, which recent studies show have yielded $3.09 billion in benefits, primarily from the near elimination of medication administration issues and duplicate testing. Medsphere's subscription-based pricing model enables hospital, clinic and integrated delivery network customers to pay for OpenVista from their operating budget with no upfront costs of back-end balloon payments. Expert implementation and other services facilitate fluid and rapid transition to a paperless clinical environment focusing on best practices and evidence-based medicine in six to nine months. Medsphere also actively nurtures the Healthcare Open Source Ecosystem, a global community of customers, partners, developers and other online collaborators who drive OpenVista innovation, and provide a parallel development and support structure. Founded in 2002 and based in Carlsbad, Calif., Medsphere's award-winning organization of clinical and technology professionals work to make quality health IT solutions accessible to organizations of virtually any size, shape or budget.

Use of a standard Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) interface enables commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) reporting tools and data warehousing through the use of Structured Query Language (SQL). This greatly expands OpenVista's ability to provide an organization with data analysis tools, performance metrics, and operational reporting.
