Interfaces
Direct
Interface
A direct interface is the most efficient method for adding
information and therefore the fastest. The "Touch Screen"
Display and portable Tablet PC's are excellent examples of
this.
Indirect
Interface
An Indirect Interface involves using another piece of equipment to
enter data into the computer. The most common are the Keyboard/Mouse, Trackball,
Glidepads, and Lightpens.
Voice Recognition
Charting Plus™ accepts direct input from both Dragon
NaturallySpeaking™ and IBM ViaVoice™ voice recognition systems.
Computers
Desktop Computers
Most offices have desktop computers. They are functional, powerful,
and reasonably priced.
Laptop Computers
Laptops (Notebooks) offer a high degree of portability to your
system. These computers can be carried around the office, to other
clinics, or to your home.
Medical EMR handheld tablet PC
Tablet PC's are small, light, and extremely portable. They use a
direct pen touch interface instead of a keyboard and a mouse. There
are many pen based units to choose from and new technology is being
introduced all the time in this sector. Pen
systems can speed charting immensely, by allowing you to chart right
at the point of care. Some examples are:
Configurations
Wired
This is the simplest way to get started with Charting Plus. In
general this involves the lowest setup cost and is very practical in
most situations. This involves desktop computers that are hardwired
to a network server in the office.
Wireless
Add a wireless transmitter to the network, and wireless cards to
mobile handheld units and you are running wireless. While the
initial investment of wireless networking may be higher, it does
offer a freedom that traditional wired networks do not. In a medical
practice setting, wireless networking allows the physician to
document the exam right at the point-of-care, and access past
information quickly without flipping through past paper charts.
Terminal Services/Citrix
With this network design, applications are running on a server but
the video images can be sent across a connection to another
terminal. This leads to several distinct advantages: software
installations/updates only involve one machine, applications can be
shared wirelessly or over phone lines, and terminals do not need to
be extremely powerful to run the software (all the processing is
being done on the server - so 486's, early Pentium computers, and
even CE units with 640 x 480 or greater resolution screens can be
used).
