10K server and I am confused
Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 4:07 pm
OK so what is new. Here is the deal. I go to a lot of offices and provide IV sedation etc. I looked at various ways to accomplish automation so I did not have to answer phone calss texts etc for appointments and a lot of other things. All went very well until I tried mypatient schedular which required VM ware because of connectors. Basically I think it has something to to with the program running on a Linux.
I looked into getting a dedicated server at Rackspace ans it was 800 a month. Part of the beauty of my practice is virtually no overhead other than meds and IV setups.
Realizing that I could spend a couple of years working on putting together the whole package I hired ans IT company by the hour.
Everything was great Dell Server running MS server 2008 R2 SP1 and citrix offline backups NAS 25MG download and upload from cable company Yada yada .......until they got to the part where the Motion computers out in the field would not have OD installed. He showed me a client that had some programs like excel etc that were not on his computer but he could use them by logging into the server.
I have always had OD installed on each workstation.......I am confused can this be done with OD using the anesthesia module and my patient scheduler? It is a big investment but will pay for itself in less than 2 years. It would open a lot of avenues that take me a lot of time. I am a hair away from Bluetoothing the EKG to the tablet and wonder how this is going to be sent to a central server. Email will be through exchange and automatically sent in PDF form to the office I am at. This project has taken the better part of a year and I am ready to finish.

I would not use it, if I were you...
