Deployment guide
Preparing multi-workstation clinic software
Decisions to make before connecting reception, practitioners and care teams on a local network: roles, availability, backups and testing.
Moving from one workstation to a multi-workstation clinic changes more than installation. Data authority, roles, interruption behavior and backup ownership should be defined before access is opened.
Model roles before accounts
Reception, practitioners, care teams and administration do not need the same actions. Start with a simple matrix: who can read, create, change, print and administer. Only then should each account be attached to a role.
Check sensitive operations individually. Hiding a screen is not enough if the API or workstation still permits a write.
Define interruption behavior
A clinic should know what remains available when the main workstation, local network or internet is unavailable. The answer can differ by failure: local consultation, read-only mode, a visible queue or an explicit lock.
The right behavior prevents silent loss and duplicate writes. It should be tested, explained to users and clearly visible in the interface.
Run a realistic acceptance test
Test on the hardware and network that will actually be used.
- Two users change the same appointment
- A workstation loses network during data entry
- An administrator revokes a session
- A backup is restored on an isolated machine
- Arabic RTL and print layouts are verified on every workstation
