Top 4 Workflow Uses
Top 4 Workflow Uses

Workflows are a way to automate your system in Edge Cloud. You can change a patient’s status, merge letters, add patients to stacks, and even open the patient’s treatment chart when you seat a patient. Most workflows are procedure-based, meaning something is happening to the patient’s appointment. You can also create workflows based on status changes and other triggers – the possibilities are almost endless.

Edge Cloud's Image Cache
Edge Cloud's Image Cache

Setting up a local image cache with Edge Cloud means images are available much more quickly. The local image cache is a shared folder on your network that all of your other computers can see and access and houses your images. Your images are still stored in the cloud, but the cache also keeps a local copy of your images on your network.

Every image imported or manipulated in Edge Cloud is sent to our data center while also simultaneously stored in the image cache. This allows instant access to these larger files, without having to download them from the cloud, leaving more Internet speed for data.
