DSS Inc. will open source the code of its vxVistA electronic health records software. The software is a commercialized, enhanced version of the Department of Veterans Affairs' VistA information system.

The Juno Beach, Fla.-based vendor also has joined the Open Health Tools Foundation of Asheville, N.C. The foundation is an open source community of developers who provide software components that others can use to build software products.

Open sourcing the vxVistA code will enable developers to collaborate to build plug-ins, modules and extensions to the EHR's core framework, according to the vendor.

More information is available at dssinc.com and openhealthtools.org.
