Purpose

The function of the Desktop Connector is to link Skyline and the Principal Clinical System (PCS) in use in a practice together. This means that Skyline can detect when patients are changed in the PCS and display Cues (pop-up pieces of information relevant to the patient) where appropriate. The Desktop Connector also manages the process of adding codes to the patient record in the PCS.

Installation

The installation uses Microsoft ClickOnce technology so administrative permissions are not required. Simply click on the file once it has downloaded to your machine. Once installed the Desktop Connector will run automatically when Windows is started.

Usage

The Desktop Connector is launched when Windows starts up.
The Connector enables the user to login to Skyline from the connector. It will start monitoring for patients being looked at in the Clinical System from that point on. There is a link on the Connector screen to enable the browser component to be launched - without needing an additional logon. Logging out of the Desktop Connector also logs the user out of the web interface.

Upgrades

The Desktop Connector will be upgraded automatically when needed. No user intervention is required.
