The 4 different variants of installation for PeriData

Preliminary Note

Several configuration options are available for PeriData. The program itself existes only in one version. The program behaviour is defined only from outside by the commandline parameters. They can be used to transfer the database path, the patient name and a specific mode. In variants 3 and 4, the medical software thus has full control over the integration of PeriData into the EMR programme. A singular PeriData start procedure therefore works everywhere in the medical unit. On a new workstation, PeriData can be installed without any further configuration.

1. Standalone

PeriData is installed on 1 PC. And 1 database is created containing all examinations of all patients.     Installation on one PC  

standalone

2. Network Solution (no integration)

PeriData is installed on all PCs in the local network. One database containing all examinations of all patients is created on the perimeter PC. By sharing the folder, all workstations can access the data (in viewing mode). The EMR software is NOT connected. PeriData and EMR software are running parallel without link.    Installation‑Guide for Network Solution

3. Partial Integration (1 large database)

PeriData is installed on all PCs in the local network. One database containing all examinations of all patients is created on the perimeter PC. By sharing the database folder, all workstations can access the data (in viewing mode). The EMR software starts PeriData with commandline parameters making the database to jump to the patient name.    Installation‑Guide for Partial Integration

4. Full Integration = LinkMode (many small databases)

PeriData is installed on all PCs in the local network. On the server, a "PeridataFiles" folder is created where every patient gets his own database. These are many databases. The EMR software opens PeriData with special commandline parameters. PeriData is now in the LinkMode and shows only the database of the current patient. Further convenience elements are immediate visual field display, name check and informative lines in the medical record.     Installation‑Guide for LinkMode
