SERVICE :: SYSTEM
REQUIREMENTS |

EMR4Healthcare electronic medical
record system has a small footprint
and low memory overhead. The system
has been optimized to deliver high
performance with comparatively
low resource contention.
Server: This
table outlines the minimum hardware
needed to run different configurations of EMR4HealthcareServer.
Using additional or faster processors and more RAM will incrementally
improve performance. This model has been developed taking into consideration
the average number of concurrent users and the workload of a normal
user. If other applications are
to share the hardware, these
configurations
may need to be altered accordingly. It is highly recommended that you
use a dedicated machine to host EMR server.
PC Requirements
- Workstation
- Pentium 4 or higher
- 1 GB RAM or higher
recommendedg
- 1024 × 768 screen resolution
or better
- Wondows Server 2003,
Windows XP Professional
or Vista
operating system
- Service pack 1 or higher
- Broadband Internet
connection (see specifications
below)
- User accounts: Administrator
or Power User access level
- Tablet PCs (for
EMR)
- Above workstation requirements
- Windows XP Tablet Edition
SP2 only
- 1 GB RAM or higher recommended
- Internet Explorer 6
or 7
or higher
- 128-bit encryption enabled
- Configured to accept
and use ActiveX controls
- Additional Software
- Tablets: Microsoft
Windows 2003 (Service
Pack 1 or higher)
For optimal
performance, we suggest office
machines run Microsoft Windows,
Internet Explorer, and Office,
and other purchased commercial
software only. Avoid recreational
downloads such as internet toolbars, popup
blockers, etc.
Peripherals
- Printers
- Windows compliant laser
printer (recommend HP)
- Optional: Label
printer (recommend Seiko
or Dymo)
- Handheld PDAs
- Microsoft PocketPC 2000
or Microsoft Windows Mobile
2003 (any edition)
- Processor: Intel StrongARM
or XScale
- Memory: 32MB RAM (built-in,
not add-on) - recommend
64MB RAM
- Display: 240x320 or 480x640
(VGA)
- Wi-fi (802.11b or g)
wireless networking with
continuous access
NOTE: Bluetooth and
wireless cell phone Internet
connectivity may also
work well.
- Dell Axim or HP iPAQ
devices are supported by
AdvancedMD
Internet
Access Requirements
PCs will need
access to the Internet either
directly or through a local
area network. Most business
broadband accounts can service
these needs very inexpensively;
typical connection types include
DSL, Cable, Wireless, or fractional
T1 lines. (Note that Satellite
service is not recommended,
as latency is usually unacceptable.)
Your connection should meet
the following minimums:

Additional
considerations
- Heavy usage: If
you are a billing office,
you should consider the next
higher level of recommended
speeds for your office size.
- Other Internet traffic: The
speeds recommended pertain
to the EMR4Healthcareapplications
only. If there is additional
Internet traffic in the office
(web browsing, etc.), you
may wish to use higher speeds.
Storage or Backup
system :
Clients: Internet
Explorer® browser
version 5.0 through version 7.0. Monzila firefox
There are no other
requirements at the client
side and, as such, ordinary
computers generally suffice.
It is recommended though that the browser is updated with the latest
service pack and the underlying machine have 256MB or more of RAM.
Screen Resolution: Minimum 800 × 600
pixels screen area for Desktop PCs and 768 × 1024 for Tablet PCs (portrait
mode). Screen resolution of 1024 × 768 is highly recommended. UniCharts™ EMR
looks its best with 24-bit high color (Almost every computer sold
today has this capability).
Network: A
network running TCP/IP protocol is required (Almost every network
today uses
TCP/IP as a primary
protocol). Ethernet speed of 10Mbps is minimum whereas Fast 100Mbps
is recommended. For wireless networks, 802.11-b (11 Mbps) is minimum
while
the use of 802.11-a or g (54 Mbps) is recommended.
Disclaimer: The system requirements noted here are subject to change
without notice.
