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.

Details.
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.
