Fog Computing: The Future of Getting Connected Is Here
Traditional EMR systems are either based on a Client/Server or Cloud/Browser-Based architecture. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Fog Computing merges the benefits of both types of systems in a single platform.
With Fog Computing Your Practice Can:
- Choose how your data is hosted: On Premise, Cloud, 3rd party hosted
- Access your system from anywhere: Say goodbye to VPN, Remote Desktop, Citrix, and clunky browsers.
- Increase Productivity, User Satisfaction, and Clinical Outcomes: Real-time performance allows providers to quickly access clinical and imaging data so they can focus on their patients.
Faster. More Secure. More Reliable.
The Edge Computing Service is a feature of EyeMD EMR’s Fog Architecture that allows remote offices to securely experience real-time imaging and document performance without requiring an on premise imaging/data server or VPN.
Edge computing increases provider productivity by overcoming imaging performance issues caused by internet bandwidth limitations. High-resolution images from devices like a fundus cameras and wide-field OCT are stored and displayed instantly regardless of whether the data is hosted on premise, in a remote office, with a 3rd party hosting provider, or on the cloud.
