Describe the recommended hardware configuration required to run your solution for the following scenario: Single physician office; 2 support staff; 2 exam rooms. Include any assumptions that you are making.
Single Server - Dual Processor including 32GB of Ram, mirrored Hard Drives (1TB) with Raid Controller, DVD-RW Optical Drive, dual power supplies, and covered with a 3 Year NBD Onsite Warranty. The server runs Linux Centos 5.5 or higher, there is no licensing cost for the Server Operating System nor the Database Management System. As the system is accessible through a browser there is also no requirement for any client software licensing and all that is needed is an approved browser to access the EMR. There is also no requirement for a monitor, Keyboard / Mouse setup for the server as it is managed and monitored remotely.
Office Workstations:
5 Workstations - Our standard recommendation is an i5 Processor including 4GB of Ram, 250GB Hard Drive, DVD-RW Optical Drive, 19-22" Monitor, Windows 7 Pro 64Bit, 3 Year NBD Onsite Support.
Assumptions: A workstation can either be a Mac / Windows / Linux - Laptop or workstation. As long as the workstation can run one of the approved browsers, then the base operating system of the workstation can be any of the aforementioned.
Describe the recommended hardware configuration required to run your solution for the following scenario: 8 physician FHN; 4 different geographic locations (physician offices), each with 2 physicians; 3 support staff per physician office; 4 exam rooms per physician office. Include any assumptions that you are making.
Single server - Dual Processor including 32GB of Ram, mirrored Hard Drives (1TB) with Raid Controller, DVD-RW Optical Drive, dual power supplies, and covered with a 3Year NBD Onsite Warranty. The server runs Linux Centos 5.5 or higher, there is no licensing cost at all for the Server Operating System nor the Database Management System. As the system is accessible through a browser there is also no requirement for any client software licensing, all you need is an approved browser to access the EMR. There is also no requirement for a monitor, Keyboard / Mouse setup for the server as it is managed and monitored remotely.
We only require the server to be deployed in one of the 4 locations. The other locations would connect to the server using one of the approved browsers over an HTTPS connection. As an additional security measure we can also setup dedicated VPN tunnels for the HTTPS connection to be carried over.
Each Satellite Office would have:
8 Workstations - Our standard recommendation is an i5 Processor including 4GB of Ram, 250GB Hard Drive, DVD-RW Optical Drive, 19-22" Monitor. Windows 7 Pro 64Bit. 3 Year NBD Onsite Support.
Assumptions: A workstation can either be a Mac / Windows / Linux - Laptop or workstation. As long as the workstation can run one of the approved browsers, the base operating system of the workstation can be any of the aforementioned.
Describe the recommended hardware configuration required to run your solution for the following scenario: 10 physician FHN all located in 1 clinic (physician office); 10 support staff; 20 exam rooms. Include any assumptions that you are making.
Single server - Dual Processor including 16GB of Ram, mirrored Hard Drives (1TB) with Raid Controller, DVD-RW Optical Drive, dual power supplies, and covered with a 3 Year NBD Onsite Warranty. The server runs Linux Centos 5.5 or higher. There is no licensing cost for the Server Operating System nor the Database Management System. As the system is accessible through a browser there is also no requirement for any client software licensing. All that is needed is an approved browser to access the EMR. There is also no requirement for a monitor, Keyboard / Mouse setup for the server as it is managed and monitored remotely
Office Workstations:
40 Workstations - Our standard recommendation is an i5 Processor including 4GB of Ram, 250GB Hard Drive, DVD-RW Optical Drive, 19-22" Monitor, Windows 7 Pro 64Bit, 3 Year NBD Onsite Support.
Assumptions: A workstation can either be a Mac / Windows / Linux - Laptop or Workstation. For this size of clinic, we also offer a Sunray Thin Client option which allows for easy movement from Exam Room to Physicians office while maintaining sessions. The Thin Client options can be discussed for sites looking for a unique solution to running a larger clinic.
Describe the recommended bandwidth requirements required to run your solution for the following scenarios: Configuration 1; Configuration 2; ASP Requirements. Requirements should be broken down by upload bandwidth/user and download bandwidth/user.
As we do not require a client server interaction but just need a web browser to connect to the local server our bandwidth needs are very small. Currently we see an average user over the course of a normal working day using less then 32kbps of download bandwidth in order to operate. We recommend a business class Cable Modem or DSL equivalent connection for each site.
Configuration #1: As we only require a standard HTTP connection to allow access for either data sharing or remote offices we only require 16kbps upload and 32kbps download per user in order to serve users connecting to the local server outside of the local office.
Configuration #2: A single server in an office accepting connections from a remote office would require approximately 16 kbps of bandwidth upload and 32 kbps download per user.
