Atlasdoc,
What Indy describes is a bit different than what I use at the office. For home I use a microsoft os base HP EliteBook laptop to directly connect via RDP to the cloud AC. AC tech support got all that hooked up for me. Also access updox from the laptop at home--works great can do everything I can here at office at home, except see pts, and now that I am e-scribing scheduled meds, works well, when I take time off from office.
However what I do from the office is a bit different. I have a standing dual monitored desktop (as my nurse) both RDP directly to cloud AC & both with updox--so only have 2 computers to maintain/upgrade in my "pod".
What I do with the chromebook is connect to my office desktop behind the firewall (intranet) with VNC viewer made for Chrome, Enterprise Version with 256 bit encryption for security. We upgraded our Instant Access Point with Aruba 110 series.
I can't even remember the last time I had a dropped connection with this wireless set up. However I am not transferring records or using the RDP function but just remote controlling my desktop with the chromebook, and can use two screens with the swipe on my touchpad.
The chromebook is easy to replace, with two step authentication, takes less than 5 minutes when you change out to a new one by signing into your gmail account and entering the 6 digit # to complete the 2 step authentication, so minimizes downtime with the point of care device in the office.
Hope this makes sense and helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
