VistA-Edge Practice Management System

The VistA-Edge PMS provides an easy to use GUI with rich features for Patient Registration, Schedules, Paper and Electronic Claims using both 4010 and 5010 HIPAA messages. All patient registrations and schedules are sent automatically to VistA using the Mirth HL7 engine.
