OpenVistA-CIS client package

The Medsphere OpenVista-CIS package is a modification of CPRS which has image viewing and other commercial ehancements added.

It uses the .NET framework in Windows or the MONO framework in Linux. There are versions for both platforms. (Mac users may be able to adapt the Linux version.) OpenVistA-CIS was developed on the Gtk platform (a widely-used Linux development platform).

Installation on Windows

• Download and install the Gtk runtime environment for Windows

• Download and install the OpenVistA-CIS Windows installer
