Downloading Patients
For offline access to records, patients can be downloaded onto a mobile device.
When using the desktop version, Vision Anywhere automatically downloads the patient records for your selected appointment list in the background. This feature lets you carry on consulting in the event of any connectivity issues.
See Automatic Download and Downloading Patients to a Windows Mobile Device for details.
Note - Any open encounters are saved to your device and cannot be accessed from any other setting.
Encounters not uploaded, are deleted after 90 days.
