Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Remote use of Dragon and AC

I have just purchased AC, but have not yet implemented it. I was also considering eClinical Works as a hosted service by my local hospital that would have solved one of my biggest obstacles, namely accessing the system from a remote office, or from home. I am neurologist and use Dragon to enter most of the encounter visit. I have noted many people on the board suggest LogMeIn, which is pretty good, but the screen redraws are slow due to my rural location and rather low DSL speed. I was trying to figure out how to use LogMeIn, Hamachi, or a VPN to allow for the use of Dragon from the remote site. I suspect this is not possible with a simple screen control program like LogMeIn, but might be possible with Hamachi or VPN. Is this a situation where I really need a Server/Client. Also hoping not to spend a large amount of money for ongoing IT services. Any help most appreciated.

I am also a regular DNS medical 10.1 user, and I am fairly certain that you could not remotely dictate into DNS. For one thing, Dragon is very resource intensive, and would likely overwhelm LogMeIn's capacity.

I think your best bet would be to get a digital recorder that is approved for use with DNS, and use that on hospital visits, and then use the dictation transcription module of DNS when you return to the office.

Sounds to me, if you are indeed in solo setting, maybe take a high power lap top with Dragon, and synchronize when you return to the office?

If you have a laptop you could also load Dragon onto it. You could then use your laptop's Dragon to dictate into your AC on your office server. I think this would work also.

I have split this thread to give my responce.
