OpenVista Appliance, release 5
==============================

The OpenVista Appliance is a virtualized environment that contains a completely
configured OpenVista system.



Collaboration
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The OpenVista® Appliance is part of the larger open source project. Aspects of
the design, requirements definition, development, and testing are done in the
community.  Medsphere.org is the central location for this collaborative
development process.

Medsphere.org provides all participants access to the solution development
process and a voice in how the system evolves. You can download open source
software, start discussions, host projects, build clinical content/best
practices, ask questions, make suggestions and blog about progress.

* Collaborate 24 x 7
 * Share in the improvement of healthcare
 * Influence the OpenVista® roadmap
 * Get answers to your questions from experts, peers, colleagues and others
