The goal of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Modernized Progress Notes (MPN) project is to bring Progress Notes Construction Set (PNCS)/Compensation and Pension Record Interchange (CAPRI)-style template creation and execution into the modern technological environment, targeting implementation that is operating system agnostic. Along with improving the ease of provider documentation using primarily mobile devices while maintaining legacy compatibility with desktop workstations. The development of a sophisticated What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) database-driven design environment, including the ability to extend form functionality to support back-end decision support, such as support for coding form objects to standardized coding schemes (Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), Logical Observations Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC), International Classification of Diseases (ICD), RxNorm etc.).

The MPN project uses the PE version of the Orbeon Forms application. In order to enable all functionality, a
license must be purchased from Orbeon and the associated license file placed in the following directory prior
to building the application: mpn\forms\src\resources\config. Licensing information is available on the Orbeon
website: http://www.orbeon.com/pricing.
