-Pkg-Description: industrial strength, transaction processing application platform
- GT.M[tm] is a vetted, industrial strength, transaction processing application
- platform consisting of a database engine optimized for high TP throughput and
- a compiler for the M (aka MUMPS) programming language.

+Pkg-Description: Database Engine with Extreme Scalability and Robustness
+ GT.M is a database engine with scalability proven in large real-time
+ transaction processing systems that have thousands of concurrent
+ users, individual database file sizes to the Terabyte range (with
+ virtually unlimited aggregate database sizes).  Yet the light
+ footprint of GT.M allows it to also scale down for use in small
+ applications and software appliances (virtual machines).
+ .
+ The GT.M data model is hierarchical associative memory (i.e.,
+ multi-dimensional array) that imposes no restrictions on the data
+ types of the indexes or content - the application logic can impose
+ any schema, dictionary or data organization suited to its problem
+ domain.  (Database engines that do not impose schemas, but which
+ allow layered application software to impose and use whatever schema
+ that is appropriate to the application are popularly referred to as
+ "document oriented", "schemaless" or "schema-free" databases.)
  .
- This is a precondition for the VistA package (http://www.hardhats.org/)
- which would be a really important application to have for the Debian-Med
- project.
+ GT.M's compiler for the standard M (also known as MUMPS) scripting
+ language implements full support for ACID (Atomic, Consistent,
+ Isolated, Durable) transactions, using optimistic concurrency control
+ and software transactional memory (STM) that resolves the common
+ mismatch between databases and programming languages. Its unique
+ ability to create and deploy logical multi-site configurations of
+ applications provides unrivaled continuity of business in the face of
+ not just unplanned events, but also planned events, including planned
+ events that include changes to application logic and schema.
  .
- An interesting reading about the requirements to build a GT.M Mumps package
- is the discussion on the Debian Med mailing list about bootstrapping the system
- starting at http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2008/02/msg00141.html .
+ Community support forums for GT.M can be found at
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/fis-gtm and support with assured
+ service levels on commercial terms can be purchased from
+ gtmsupport at fnis.com.

-Pkg-Description: comprehensive software suite for hospitals
- This is almost certainly the largest collection of Open Source health care software
- worldwide. The DHCP (Decentralized Hospital Computer Program) project was started in
- 1982 by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. As of 1994, the VA operated 173 medical
- centers, 389 out-patient clinics, 131 nursing homes, and 39 domiciliaries. In 1995, DHCP
- was nominated for the Smithsonian award for best use of information technology. Because
- this software was developed by and for the U.S. Government, the source code is largely
- in the public domain. Several dozen other institutions have implemented systems based on
- the VA source code. There is an active developer community working on expanding and
- supporting this code-base now known as VistA.

+Pkg-Description: Real time health care information system including electronic health record
+ VistA is the complete health care information system (HIS) which
+ is developed and used by the US Department of Veterans Affairs to
+ run all of its hospitals and clinics.  It is in the public domain
+ through the US Freedom of Information Act.  Versions are also in
+ use both in the US and internationally, including the US Department
+ of Defense, the US Indian Health Service, the Mexican Instituto
+ Mexicano del Seguro Social, etc.  There are also flavors of VistA
+ provided by WorldVistA (http://worldvista.org) and Medsphere
+ (http://medsphere.org).

+Pkg-Description: repackage and extended version of VistA produced by WorldVistA
+ Developed by WorldVistA (http://worldvista.org) and released under GPL
+ v2, WorldVistA EHR is a repackaged and extended version of the VistA
+ health care information system (HIS) developed by the US Department of
+ Veterans Affairs, and in the public domain through the US Freedom of
+ Information Act.
  .
- As a precondition GT/M (see above) will be needed.
+ WorldVistA successfully submitted WorldVistA EHR for certification by
+ CCHIT (http://cchit.org) in 2007.  WorldVistA EHR VOE/ 1.0 was tested
+ and passed inspection of 100 percent of a set of criteria for
+ functionality (ability to create and manage electronic records for all
+ patients, as well as automating workflow in a physician's office),
+ interoperability (a first step in the ability to receive and send
+ electronic data to other entities such as laboratories), and security
+ (ability to keep patients' information safe).
