Please don't laugh, and Sandeep has been working me over to go with a server, but I don't have one. So my main computer is about 2 years old and has XP as the O.S. and 4 ram, with a wireless N router/gigabyte switch and is communicating with 2 identical HP elite Notebooks--with Windows 7, 8ram, dual i5 processor. My nurse uses one as a desktop (I initially envisioned her taking in to exam room and obtaining vitals). This has not panned out. So after watching the impressive video, and suffering from doubting Thomas syndrome, I realized, despite Sandeep and your desktop/hardwire recommendations, that I should at least have a bastardized setup and at least hardwire my nurses laptop to the gigabyte switch, because with scanning/updoxing in I.I's she is getting bogged down at times. I have been using logmein free at Wendell's excellent advice and love it. I sink my laptop and carry back and forth from exam room to office. I do all my educational stuff, order, and escripts or efaxing through updox in the exam room. Carry my laptop back to office, while nurse reschedules the completed patient for next year and rooms the next one, as I then get onto my main computer in office dictate the note, and send office summary through updox and print up the billing slip. The log me in has been great as I don't have to sign on or off and forward notes--extremely efficient.
After hearing your discussion about RDC, I thought it would be superior to log me in.
I do log in from home sometimes over weekend to import labs and write a few letters. but try to keep work light if nonexistent on weekends, but planning on vacation next month so will need remote access to keep office going while away. I envisioned logmein while away from office, and RDC while in office.
