10. Install additional options or features
Install Telemedicine software
Telemedicine is an optional extension to CPWS. Without the correct release code, the Telemedicine
functionality will not be activated.
With Telemedicine, it is possible to send and receive tests and interpretations to and from predefined
contacts. This typically allows expertise sharing and second opinion consults, but might also be used for
administrative purposes in situations where replication cannot be used.
Telemedicine offers the following methods for sending and receiving email:

Email facilities.

Direct communication, using TCP/IP sockets.
In both cases, the Internet or any other TCP/IP network must be available as transportation infrastructure.
You can use a mix of both email and direct socket connection.
Telemedicine, like CPWS, is built using a client / server architecture. This means Telemedicine scales
from use on a single standalone computer with a modem, to a configuration of multiple client computers, a
MSSQL database server and a telemedicine mail server working together in a LAN network.
Before installing Telemedicine, make sure that the hardware and software requirements are met (see
“System requirements” on page 11), determine the type of communication you will use and, if in a network,
identify which computer(s) will run as clients and which as mail server.
The Telemedicine option requires significant IT skills to install and configure. Detailed instructions on
installation and configuration can be found in Section 10 of the CardioPerfect Workstation Service and
Advanced Installation manual.
For a more detailed description of how to use Telemedicine, see the CPWS user manual.
Note: Full administrator privileges are required to correctly configure Telemedicine.
