	On March 4, 2007, version 1.0 of OpenVista Server was released on SourceForge.<ref name="OVStart" /> Like its predecessor, OpenVista seems to have utilized an older programming language called MUMPS. However, in 2005 work contracted out by the VA set out to test the feasibility of automatically converting the 2.1 million lines of code of VistA from MUMPS to Java. This work was put on hold in 2006 due to lack of funds; however, the project was picked up again in 2009, this time applied to OpenVista. That year the MUMPS-based code of OpenVista was converted to Java as as a "scalability demonstration" of the automated process.<ref name="VistAMtoJ">{{cite web \|url=http://www.softwarerevolution.com/blueprints/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=39&Itemid=100 \|title=Veterans Health Administration's VistA - Mumps to Java \|publisher=The Software Revolution, Inc \|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20101013225946/http://www.softwarerevolution.com/blueprints/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=39&Itemid=100 \|archivedate=13 October 2010 \|date=2010 \|accessdate=27 October 2012}}</ref>		On March 4, 2007, version 1.0 of OpenVista Server was released on SourceForge.<ref name="OVStart" /> Like its predecessor, OpenVista seems to have utilized an older programming language called MUMPS.

==Product history==

In 1996 the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs introduced VistA (Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture) to better support "day-to-day operations at local Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care facilities."<ref name="VistAInfo">{{cite web |url=http://www.va.gov/vista_monograph/ |title=VistA Monograph |publisher=U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs |date=21 September 2011 |accessdate=27 October 2012}}</ref> By 2002 the software company Medsphere Systems Corporation decided to get involved with creating an open-source version of the VA's software, with the goal of providing a free, widely available software package to "enhance patient safety" and "to improve clinical efficiency resulting in better quality healthcare."<ref name="OVStart1">{{cite web |url=https://medsphere.org/blogs/openvista-server-news/2007/02/26/join-the-revolution |title=Join the Revolution |author=Mehling, Ben |publisher=Medsphere Systems Corporation |date=26 February 2007 |accessdate=27 October 2012}}</ref>
