Practice Partner System Requirements for Cloud Hosting

Medical institutions are organizations that must be able to deliver services effectively, with specific emphasis on swift response to patient needs. Practice management software (PMS) and electronic health records (EHRs) are essential tools that enable clinics and hospitals to do so efficiently. Most modern medical organizations incorporate the above-mentioned software into their daily operations to streamline clinical processes. Practice Partner is an all-in-one medical software solution designed to support medical practices. The software offers three modules that improve the quality of care and productivity of medical practices.

• Patient Records
• Medical Billing
• Appointment Scheduling

Additionally, Practice Partner can be deployed to manage both EHR and PMS tasks or integrate with pre-installed PMS software to handle solely the EHR aspects. This flexibility enables clinics to pick and choose. They can either use Practice Partner as a comprehensive solution or use it to complement their current systems.

Practice Partner is meant for local desktops, meaning users must download and install the application on their local server or desktop to run it. Although this approach is acceptable for most other software applications used by medical facilities, which must be capable of swiftly responding to situations, cloud-hosted solutions should ideally be used.

Benefits of Deploying Practice Partner on the Cloud

The biggest drawback of deploying Practice Partner locally is the limited accessibility that comes along with it. If the software is installed on a specific system, access is restricted to the particular device. This necessitates that staff members work exclusively from that device leading to inconveniences and delays. By hosting Practice Partner on the cloud, clinics can access the account from any device with an internet connection, significantly improving mobility and remote access options. Other benefits of cloud-hosted Practice Partner setups are

• The cloud environment can easily scale to meet increased workloads and organizational requirements
• Cloud deployments incur lesser upfront costs as users can leverage existing hardware to access the software without having to upgrade them or get new systems
• Cloud-hosted instances of Practice Partner are secured better and include disaster recovery options to recover sensitive data in the event of an outage or other disruptions
• Since the service provider monitors the cloud infrastructure and deploys necessary patches and updates, the medical organization can focus on delivering quality patient care.

By transitioning to the cloud, your organization becomes better equipped to handle the constantly changing medical landscape and better serve your patients. Using a cloud-hosted Practice Partner setup is therefore not just a matter of convenience, but one of necessity.

Practice Partner System Requirements on Cloud vs Local Desktop Deployment

Before you can initiate your transition to the cloud, it is essential to understand the system requirements to host the software on-premises as well as on the cloud. The previous section makes it very clear that hosting Practice Partner on the cloud enhances its accessibility, scalability, and security. It also significantly improves clinical management operations, paving the way for a more efficient and reliable healthcare practice.

Requirements	Local Desktop	Interface	Cloud
CPU	Dual Quadcore at 2.3GHz or higher	Dual Quadcore at 2.3GHz or higher	High-performance multi-core processors like Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC
Operating System	Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise	Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise	Managed OS options, such as Windows Server or Linux distributions
RAM	8GB	8GB	8 GB (adjustable upward upon increased requirements)
Network Speed	100 Mbps	1Gbps	High-speed internet with low latency (1 Gbps)
Video Resolution	NA	1024×768 (1200×800 for widescreen displays)	NA
Storage Array Type	RAID-10 for Partner Data Drive	NA	RAID-10 for Partner Data Drive

By hosting Practice Partner on the cloud, users can scale the number of concurrent users and increase RAM and storage space to manage larger workloads more efficiently.
