Presentation to
OMG Model-Driven Healthcare Day 2015
March 25, 2015
By Philip H. Newcomb, Founder, Chairman of the Board of Directors, CEO, The Software
Revolution, Inc. (TSRI)
Philip Newcomb is the 2011 Stevens Award Recipient
“for the automated modernization of the European Air Traffic Management System (EATMS)”
Abstract: The VistA family of electronic healthcare records (EHR) systems is widely deployed and highly regarded, but
suffers from issues of legacy maintenance, reliability in data sharing, and streamlined integration. We will present our work in
modernizing the various VistA variants into the Unified integrated Electronic Health Records (UiEHR) system, a conversion
from the legacy Mumps to a running Java system using fully automated MBSE approaches.

Unified iEHR “Push-Button” Conversion from Mumps to
Java Cloud
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The TSRI translation is a 100% push-button conversion. The translated code runs
identically to the original. All user interactions, PF keys and other quirky behaviors
are preserved.
No human intervention is required after conversion of the code to hand tune the
code. Simply replace MUMPS with the JSE/JEE modules generated by the
translator.
No operator retraining is required. Generated code deployed in private or public
data centers as x86 SAAS hosted applications runs a web browser, on laptops or
handhelds identically to the original MUMPS.
Original code and modernized code can interoperate and can be run at the same
time. Performance of modernized code is better than MUMPS code, and is elastic
and scalable in cloud-based PAAS/IAAS.
Translation is extremely accurate. Currently, a five sigma rate level of accuracy (less
than 1 functional error per 100,000 lines of code translated) has been demonstrated.
A seven sigma level of conversion to compilation and linkage has been
demonstrated (less than 1 compilation error per 10,000,000 lines of code).
Conversion of Single Systems of 2.1 to 2.5 Million lines of code in 1 hour 20 min
Modernized Application database performance is equivalent or better than the
original when tested on realistic test data.
Multiple Systems (e.g FOIA VistA and Astronaut VistA) are unified automatically
during a three hour Push-Button conversion process.
MUMPS can continue programming in MUMPS until they retire, while VistA sites
redeploy modernized applications into data centers and into future IT architectures
with modernized code and old MUMPS code can operating in parallel until the plug is
pulled on the MUMPS.

Plan B - Unified iEHR™
Modernization Options
Plan A – Manual Rewrite
Plan B – “Push Button” Conversion
Plan C – COTS Rip and Replace
Tried Repeatedly from 2001 to 2011 and
has always failed.
Demonstrated Unified VA/MHS iEHR developed by
TSRI under CRADA (at no cost to the government)
and Rapidly Evolve and Unify with VistA –
Available Now
Throw Away Current Systems and Patient
Record. Pay Commercial Vendors $30 Billion
to redevelop EHRs.
(Worst Option)
(Clearly The Best Option)
(Highly Costly & Deeply Flawed)
10-year development and deployment cycle
1 to 2 year deployment cycle
5 to 7 year Replacement and Redevelopment Cycle
$28 Billion (according to DoD and VA estimates
for GAO and OMB)
Estimated $57 Million Total Annual Subscription Fees for 57
hospitals + One Time Enterprise License Fee
$20.7 Billion ( 207 hospitals in the VA and DoD 207
* 100M/each)
Rewrite solution requires 8 years longer than
Conversion
According to Standish Group studies modernization reduces
O&M by 60%/annum to 80%/annum.
COTS solution requires 4 to 6 years longer than
automated conversion
Rewrite incurs $54Billion O&M Costs ($5.4
Billion * 10 years) and $34 Billion in
development Costs
Conversion saves $3 Billion to $4 Billion/annum in O&M cost
reductions within 2 years at VA and DoD .
COTS incurs $27 Billion ($5.4B * 5 years) to $37.8
Billion ($5.4B * 7 years) in O&M costs and $20.7
Billion for 207 VA and DoD Hospitals
Rewrite Costs $88 Billion
Saves $18 Billion to $36 Billion over 6 years (assuming 60%
OM reduction) to $36 Billion for 9-years (assuming 80% O&M
reduction)
COTS costs $47.7 Billion to $58.5 Billion and can not
eliminate existing legacy EHR systems
Technology will be obsolete before it is
completed because of rigidity of DoD
acquisition cycle for systems of this size and
complexity and the length of the development
cycle.
Modernize IHS, DoD, VA with single Push-Button Conversion
Solution. Conversion requires 1 hour processing time. 20
minutes to compile-ready.
EPIC, Cerner and McKesson are proprietary
technologies. EPIC is written in 25 million lines of
obsolete 32-bit VB6, a language for which Microsoft
ended support in 2005, and extended support
ended in 2008.
Success Rate is 4%
Average overrun rate is 44%
Industry Average success rate 53% (TSRI 100%)
Average overrun is 34% (TSRI < 5% overrun)
Success Rate is 34%.
Average schedule overrun is 47%
Architecture will be out dated by the time
construction is completed
Open architecture cloud-based SAAS and associated HW and
Platform benefits.
COTS LOCK will compromise VA and DoD with
proprietary obsolete iEHR architectures
Builds two stove pipe modernized systems
without fixing interoperability and data
interchange problems.
Achieves interoperable unification and supports interchange
of data in automatically unified system.
Rube Goldberg solution that welds on obsolete 3rd

KBSE in Healthcare IT – UiEHR Case Study Key Points





The Unified integrated Electronic Health Record (UiEHR) is an open
architecture fully automated modernization solution for healthcare that
achieves seamless real-time interoperability and data interchange of the
longitudinal patient record while meeting all applicable DoD open architecture,
DODAF standards, and software quality assurance requirements.
UiEHR is achieved by a perfect fidelity (non-distortive) cross-compiler that
transforms MUMPS code into high performance Java/JEE at a rate of 2.5 Million
lines-of-code per hour.
The unified design and architecture iEHR is extracted into a
TransformationBlueprint® and its model driven design is export into
MagicDraw® for forward evolution using tools that adhere to OMG standards.
In 2011, a CRADA was engaged with DoD and VA to auto-convert TC2 and VistA
into a unified operational SaaS. On 2-11-2014 senior officials from the DoD and
TATRC and VA, having witnessed the UiEHR, declared that the CRADA had
successfully accomplished this goal.
The UiEHR is presented and its strategic alignment with KBSE will be
discussed.

Top Ten Reasons Modernization Projects Succeed!!
1. Modernization projects are mechanical and suited for contemporary IT organizations and the state of their project
management capabilities.
2. Modernization projects avoid the harder project management activities such as gathering user requirements and Standish Group
Modernization
receiving the executive attention that new development projects necessitate.
White Paper
3. Modernization projects also avoid the gap analysis, user retraining, process changes, code modifications, and user
2010
rejections that package applications endure.
4. With application modernization projects, user training is very minimal and generally there are no modifications.
Further, users are generally more receptive because their methods and processes are not disrupted.
5. The objectives of modernization projects are clearly stated and easily measured. Scope is contained to migration and
testing followed by enhancement and testing.
6. They lack the Top Three Reasons for project failure: Lack of user involvement - Lack of executive support - Lack of clear
business objectives.
7. Migration phase are mostly mechanical activities including code conversion, data source conversion, refactoring,
rehosting, quality control, and testing. There are few decisions required, and those are focused on the mechanics and
technical areas.
8. Enhancement activities include: improving the user experience, replacing small modules, integrating open source,
improving security, and other components.
9. Most notable are the activities that are not performed, such as requirements documentation and user involvement,
executive sponsorship, steering committee meetings, stakeholder meetings, user training, and hundreds of other
time-consuming details.
10. Common success factors include project management expertise, technical skills risk, and financial management.
Next
There are generally two phases to modernization projects: Migration followed by Enhancement.
And A Few Reasons Why They Sometimes Fail: Overreaching - Commencing Enhancement Phase Too Soon – Poor Project
Governance – Taking False Economies – Overzealousness about Tools – Misunderstanding Tool/Service Provider Capabilities
- Expectations Misalignment With Goals.
