What does VISTA mean in TECHNOLOGY

VISTA stands for Veterans Integrated System Technology Architecture, which is a learning health system that provides a unified way to manage the Veteran’s health. VISTA allows for secure access to health records and allows staff to better coordinate care with other healthcare providers.

It also provides access to medical records for more efficient communication and follow up care. This helps reduce wait times, increase accuracy when prescribing medications, and provide continuity of care.
