I have not been following this area for some time, but years ago  
there was a movement to replace VistA.  That movement got it's start  
within a program to integrate health data within the DOD. I think  
that replacement project hit many obstacles, technical and budgetary  
which slowed it way down.  Maybe that project got transformed back  
into inter-operability?   my-health-e-vet sounds a lot like a  
different system that would need to gain access to clinical data  
whether by front ending a system or pulling data from a system, so  
one could see that getting access to the Vista data, however that  
would be accomplished (directly, inter-op, replacement system)  would  
be part of it's project plan.
