Server-based Software Solutions

|
Lower startup costs because you are not paying for the server hardware or server software.
|
|
You will have to purchase server hardware and software, as well as pay IT professionals for installation and maintenance.
|
|
Our point-of-care software runs on any standard laptop, NetBook or tablet equipped with XP Pro, Vista Business or better. You can set up point-of-care devices yourself.
|
|
The point-of-care software is frequently the same massive software that the agency computers run, and you will need powerful (expensive) laptops or tablets to make it work, as well as an IT person to maintain them.
|
|
Your software is always up to date and any new features or enhancements are added automatically. New features are made available weekly, and sometimes even daily.
|
|
Your software will need to be patched and upgraded anytime there are new updates. Typically these updates are only available once or twice a year, and require the services of the vendor or an IT person.
|
|
Everyone involved in the care of your clients and the operation of your agency can access the system, anytime and from anywhere.
|
|
Your data resides in your building and access from outside is difficult and expensive - even impossible on some systems.
|
|
When implementing the software for the first time, your system is up and running quickly because you can integrate with the online software immediately.
|
|
Before you can begin using your software, you will need to purchase a server, have it installed, evaluate your network and more. After that, the vendor has to come and install the software. This can be an expensive and lengthy process.
|
|
Being Web-based makes it easy to build interfaces to other partners in the continuum of care such as Tele-health, clinical data mining, labs and pharmacies.
|
|
The vendor has to develop an interface for each agency and install it on each agency server to enable the interface.
|
|
Periodic data updates such as drug databases or Medicare wage index tables are done one time and all customers enjoy the benefit immediately.
|
|
You have to update your server, computers and point-of-care devices individually every time there is an update.
