Client/Server Benefits
MEDITECH's Client/Server Release includes all the familiar conventions associated with Windows-based products. For example:
- A graphical user interface that makes applications easy to use
- Tabs and folders for easy access to information
- Multi-tasking
| Wide Open Software |
Using Intel® processors and Microsoft® operating systems throughout its architecture enhances the consistency of MEDITECH's Client/Server Release. This not only reduces support headaches, it also creates a virtually wide open enterprise system, meaning it is possible for organizations to combine our software easily with other vendors' applications. Off-the-shelf PC software can also be included to fill niches where using those products may be more cost-effective.
| Desktop Access to the Internet |
An organization's entire staff can access the Internet with MEDITECH's Client/Server Release. Users can transmit information to insurance companies, communicate with medical specialists, access on-line medical libraries directly from their work areas, log onto the MEDITECH Information eXchange (MIX) area of this Web site to review service issues and projects, communicate with MEDITECH consultants, read technical support materials, and download documentation and software.
| Increased Processing Power |
We have dramatically increased the computing power available to customers by distributing a health care organization's processing power between client PCs, which run applications, and server PCs, which store applications and data. MEDITECH puts the full power of a PC to use. Health care providers subsequently have the processing power they need to quickly access multimedia patient records that combine text, photos, diagnostic images, sound, and video.
| Door to Future Innovations |
Enterprises using MEDITECH's Client/Server Release have an open door to future innovations. Enterprises can take advantage of new products and technologies developed for the Intel and Microsoft platforms.
Customers can expand their systems incrementally, adding clients and servers as needed. In addition, customers can update their systems at a comfortable pace -- incorporating new technology as it emerges.
