Setup / Requirements
What your office needs in order to run the Medical Office Online system.
Medical Office Online will guide you through the easy steps it takes to use the MOO service. There are two components to setup; hardware setup and office staff conversion preparation/training.
Hardware Setup
Using our online guides, you can set up your office's computers and internet connection or we can recommend a reputable vendor who can get your office up and running for you.
Hardware setup has three steps:
1. Get a High Speed Internet Connection
Get broadband connection to the Internet. Cable or DSL are the most cost-effective. We recommend getting both if available in your area.
2. Set Up Your PCs
Medical Office Online will run on almost any computer that can run Microsoft Internet Explorer. This includes desktops, laptops, tablet pcs, etc. You do not need a server or server software.
We have found that using desktop workstations is the most practical option. You will need computers for your front desk, back desk, fax station and in half of your exam rooms.
We recommend the following for each workstation:
| Computer |
Monitor
|
Printer
|
|
Pentium 4 256MB of RAM Windows XP |
15" or 17" Flat Panel | Inexpensive B&W Laser printer |
3. Connect Your PCs to the Internet
Set up computers where you need them in your office and connect them to the internet using a wired or wireless router/hub.

Staff Conversion Preparation / Training
Staff Conversion Preparation/Training has three steps:
- Introduction to change and commit to date to begin full use.
- Short-term parallel running of old and new systems.
- Full use without old systems beginning on established date.
Average Time
This process typically takes from one to four months.
