Medinotes e™ Synchronization


"Why is Database Synchronization so important?"

While ASP models offer remote access to your database over a dial-up, Medinotes e users can have full access to their entire database (including scanned images) anywhere - without a dial-up connection. Your Medinotes e database can be cloned for remote users. As you re-enter the network the data is synched with the main server to ensure that data is available on all of the practice's databases.

     Laptops/Tablet PC's - Synchronization allows you to take a mobile computer away from the network and give     you the ability to get access to patient data and create medical charts in hospitals, nursing home, or other     clinics or your laptop or other mobile PC.
     Customization - Designing templates away from the office is possible. Usually there is a limit to customization     time during business hours.
     Mobile Accessibility - Synchronization provides a way to access patient information while you are away from     the office. This is essential for on-call rotations and emergencies.

"How is information Synchronized?"

Auto-synch can be used for mobile units that are not run wirelessly. These units can be dropped into docking stations and synched over the network by setting auto-synch to run on a timed interval (i.e. 5 minutes). This method of synch is completely automatic and provides a nearly real-time feel when used correctly.

"Is it easy to use?"

The Medinotes e Auto-synch Module completely automates the synchronization process. After it is installed and configured, the Auto-synch utility searches for remote machines at the configured time interval.

When the remote machine is away from the network, Auto-synch sits idle. As soon as the remote machine is connected to the office network, Auto-synch begins cycling to synchronize the database information
