Medical Monday: Unity Through Health Care

As we are departing Iraq, the U.S. military will be training the Iraqi health care IT personnel in their Ministries of Defense and Health along with the Kurdish Ministry of Health to develop and implement the WorldVistA electronic medical record and management system throughout the country. This system is based on the U.S. Veterans Health Administration’s VistA system that has been improving health care for our veterans for over 30 years and is available by Freedom of Information Act as an open source system.
