Visual Outcomes (VO) HARDWARE SOFTWARE AND INTERNET ACCESS SPECIFICATIONS - COMMENTS/RECOMMENDATIONS 2020 | |
VO runs on a Windows operating system (WOS) | Any Windows operating system has min. requirements for that system to run. WOS hardware requirements will also run the Visual Outcomes VO application |
Access to ‘cloud’ Visual Outcomes software and services on AWS cloud resources via the internet.
| Optimal Bandwidth Internet Connection for users on all local devices
Alternative internet access device is the recommended business backup plan Temporary local data collection |
Local client machines PCs/laptops/tablets running the Visual Outcome application | Requirements for devices running Visual Outcomes application For client machines accessing Visual Outcomes: Monitors and Screen sizes for best user experience |
Other comments | 1. All front desk and admin and business office operators best to have larger monitor or multiple monitors. Visual Outcomes has many windows, and these users will often have several areas open and in use. 2. Standard users ( Clinicians and others) best to have min of 15” screen size to optimally use their “layout” log in of a “role based” window set up for ease of access in their daily work to most used features and functions 3. Standard reception desk users like a widescreen format (26” monitors) 4. Lowest resolution to be 1024/768 – the higher the better for users 5. Clinical users like a bigger screen when recording detailed notes at desk 6. Clinical users when in a “mobile session” or moving in a treatment area prefer a 13- 15” folding laptop or WOS tablet/ devices that are also fairly robust portable and lightweight as they will move them between areas |

Any adverse comments as to local devices and users? | Mac users Tablets less than 13” may require a stylus to select VO icons - 10” tablets are used e.g. Touch screen with a stylus as finger too ‘big’! Teaching clinics |
Other Comments? | Overall comment is that 15” folding laptops are the best option for all Printers and Scanners Barcode readers
