VISTA Scheduling GUI Home Page

Welcome to the VISTA Scheduling GUI homepage. I am Sam Habiel; I am the current maintainer for the Scheduling GUI. I can be reached at sam dot habiel at gmail dot com. The original package was written for Indian Health Service by Horace Whitt, and I ported it to VISTA and made a lot of enhancements.

What is the Scheduling GUI?

Historically, VISTA has always used the PIMS Scheduling module on the VT-100 emulated terminal. The Scheduling GUI is intended to be a replacement and complement for PIMS Scheduling. You can run the Scheduling GUI without any interaction with PIMS; or you can have it interacting with PIMS so that appointments will have various cascading effects on other packages using the PIMS triggered protocols and PIMS APIs. Most people use it with PIMS so that it can integrate well with CPRS.

I want it I want it I want it!
