Clinical System Requirements
Minimum requirements for computers on which Clinical is installed.
These system requirements are the minimum requirements. Actual requirements will vary based on your system configuration, installed applications, and usage.
Minimum Hardware Requirements
If your practice hardware does not meet these recommendations, contact your IT provider to discuss suitability.
| Server / Standalone | Workstation | |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Quad-Core (or equivalent) or better. We test on Intel x86-compatible CPUs. ARM CPUs are not fully tested so they are not currently recommended. |
Intel Core2 Duo Processor (or equivalent) or better. |
| RAM |
Follow the recommendations from Microsoft for the minimum requirements for a server running SQL Server: Additional RAM might be required in a TS/Remote Desktop/Citrix environment, depending on application usage and the number of concurrent user sessions. A minimum of 300MB extra per session is recommended. Consult your system administrator. |
Follow the recommendations from Microsoft for the minimum requirements for your operating system. |
| Hard Disk | MedicalDirector software occupies approximately 7GB hard disk space
with a SQL 2022 Express instance, excluding prerequisites or
database/document growth. The actual space required is determined by your activities, with a recommended minimum of 320-500 GB. For advice, consult a suitably qualified professional or call Customer Support. |
Minimum of 4GB free space, excluding prerequisites. |
| Monitor | Minimum 1920 x 1080 at 16-bit colour. | |
| Printer | A middle-to-high range printer depending on the intended workload. | |
| Scanner | Scanners must be TWAIN-compliant. | |
| Internet | Internet access is required for computers from which eOrders for
pathology and cytology requests are made. Each computer should have internet access to take advantage of MedicalDirector Automatic Updates. |
|
| Backup and Disaster Recovery | All businesses that have mission-critical data should have a disaster
recovery plan in place, including a full backup-and-restore facility for at
least the server, but preferably covering all computers that perform
important functions or store practice data. While this affects initial setup
costs, it provides comprehensive coverage in the event of a failure. Consult
a suitably qualified professional to establish your needs. For more information, refer to Maintenance and Recovery Planning For Your System. |
