WESTMINSTER, Colo. - Sept. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- Crawford Rainwater, leading expert on the use of Linux as a platform for open source electronic health records (EHR) systems, will be teaching Linux Essentials and Beginning Linux Systems Administration courses during the upcoming VISTA Academy 2013 in Seattle, WA, October 18-21. The VISTA Academy is part of an extensive VISTA Expo & Symposium 2013 conference focused on the award-winning VistA EHR developed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). VistA open source software is the most widely deployed hospital-based EHR in the world. Private sector hospitals that have implemented VistA have found that the cost of implementing VistA is between one third to less than one thirtieth of the cost of implementing proprietary EHRs. Running VistA on the open source Linux operating system has proven to be the most cost effective, secure, and stable solution. Crawford, who is the CEO and President of The Linux ETC Company (“Linux ETC”), will teach all the core elements of Linux for beginners who are seeking to learn how to run VistA or other open source EHRs on the Linux platform. Other training classes at the VISTA Academy offer more advanced training topics specifically related to VistA as well as the MUMPS database. Crawford, has provided in-depth training and advice on Linux to the VistA community through his active participation at multiple VistA conferences in the past decade as well as hands-on work with the community.
