I don't find any of the path companies insist on installing on the server. I generally nominate a pc, Everything goes there.
I agree with others like peter M, install as little as possible on the server. Healthlink are no worse than any others, Fetch is the worst by a country mile, It uses more resources (cpu and ram) than many clinical db's !!!! QML are on of the best, they insist on a site visit to install. If you are the IT guy, And they ask to install onto the server just tell them to piss off. You will be the bunny onsite at 2am trying to get the crashed server back up, not them. Designate a xp pro box for path and install it all there. Just explain to the doctor the therory of installing as little as possible on the server, Then get him to explain to the path company install on the PC or he won't send them any path. That seems to bring them into line pretty quick. Rool on the day where all path comes via either medical objects or healthlink. 2 simple installs, Low resource usage Decent support. Then maybe we can lock down the outbound firewall ports a bit more :) Andrew Cameron Gold Coast Australia > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris > Sent: Thursday, 18 May 2006 10:25 PM > To: 'General Practice Computing Group Talk' > Subject: [GPCG_TALK] Results downloaders > > Hi all, > > What's the score with Pathology download apps? > > Is there a reason why each one wants to use their own > proprietary downloader and put their own application within > the supposedly secure area of the practice network? > > Healthlink are a smart company, and eClinic has a decent > searchable front-end, but there are SOOOOO many... > > Chris Tansell > > Heron Consulting P/L > > Ph: 0412 163302 > > Fax: (08) 9463 6068 > > www.heronconsulting.com.au > > > _______________________________________________ > Gpcg_talk mailing list > [email protected] > http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
