CPRS is an acronym that stands for Computerized Patient Record System.

The CPRS program is actually a separate Microsoft Windows executable. Before version 26, it was only a program named CPRSChart.exe that could be anywhere on your system. Since CPRS usually needs to know how to contact the VistA server, most people use a shortcut to start it. After version 26, a separate DLL is also required named "BORLNDMM.DLL" which handles some memory management for CPRS.

There is also information is available at the CPRS Overview page on this wiki.

CPRS organizes and presents all relevant data on a patient in a way that directly supports clinical decision-making. The comprehensive cover sheet displays timely, patient-centric information, including active problems, allergies, current medications, recent laboratory results, vital signs, hospitalization, and outpatient clinic history. This information is displayed immediately when a patient is selected, and provides an accurate overview of the patient’s current status before clinical interventions are ordered. CPRS capabilities include:

  • A Real-Time Order Checking System that alerts clinicians during the ordering session that a possible problem could exist if the order is processed;
  • A Notification System that immediately alerts clinicians about clinically significant events;
  • A Patient Posting System, displayed on every CPRS screen, that alerts clinicians to issues related specifically to the patient, including crisis notes, warning, adverse reactions, and advance directives;
  • The Clinical Reminder System, which allows caregivers to track and improve preventive health care for patients and ensure timely clinical interventions are initiated; and
  • Remote Data View functionality that allows clinicians to view a patient’s medical history from other VA facilities to ensure the clinician has access to all clinically relevant data available at VA facilities.
