VISTA Academy 2013

A full slate of pre-conference training classes has been announced for the Academy program of the Third Annual VISTA Expo & Symposium. The eight different classes covering a range of VISTA-related topics will be held at the same venue as the VISTA Expo, in Seattle, Washington, beginning October 18, 2013. The VISTA Expo & Symposium will run from October 22 to 25, 2013.

The VISTA Expo Academy has class offerings appropriate to managers, IT staff, and clinicians. Multi-day classes are offered in VISTA Foundations, GT.M Administration & Operations, EWD, and Intersystems’ DeepSee. One-day classes will be held on separate days for VISTA CPRS and VISTA Clinical Reminders, allowing interested clinicians to attend both. Additional one-day classes offered are Technical VISTA Systems and Introduction to Linux.

The VISTA Expo & Symposium, hosted by the VISTA Expertise Network, provides a unique opportunity for VISTA thought leaders, decision-makers, vendors, adopters and end-users to meet in a professional conference environment. The four-day program features daily keynote addresses on major VISTA topics, and a range of panels, presentations and roundtable discussions.
