There is no API guide available for VistA/Drug Accountability that I am aware of but I did attach an HL7 developer guide for VistA.

v. Is customization of current RF programs allowed?

Not sure what this is referring to so I am unsure but lean towards no customization available given the current state of OI&T and moratoriums on vista not to deviate from national software releases.

1. Pharmacy Management Systems: Please provide the systems and versions utilized.

VistA Drug Accountability Package version 3.0.80 for uploading Pharmaceutical Prime Vendor (PPV) drug invoices to our electronic health record database. We also use various COTS inventory management systems to track medication inventory in each of our 7 pharmacies (listed in #2). Our EHR GUI (CPRS) is version 1.31.266.2 but may not be pertinent here since it just runs on top of VistA (including for sake of completeness).
