Home / How it works

Deployment

Runs inside your clinic, on your network.

One Windows PC acts as the server. Everyone else opens CDMS Labs in a browser. Patient data never has to leave the building.

CDMS Labs deployment on the clinic LAN One Windows server running CDMS Labs and its database sits on the clinic network. Workstations, cashier and lobby displays use a browser. Receipt and label printers attach to workstations. Analyzers connect over TCP/IP, modality PCs drop files into a watched folder, and backups are copied to USB or NAS.
