Getting Started

Before you get started, please ensure:

• Your practice meets the requirements for running the Precedence Connector. See Precedence Technical Requirements
  
• All Windows updates have been completed and up to date, systems rebooted where required
• You have an unrestricted Windows account that allows you to install and configure the Precedence Connector on both the server and user workstations

Installation Checklist

A Bit of Background

Where more than one user requires the Precedence Connector, we recommend using Client-Server mode.

In Client-Server mode the Connector is first installed on Zedmed database server and adopts the role of the Precedence server. All database and user settings are stored on the Precedence server. Any remaining user workstations or terminal profiles can then be installed and configured to Client mode.

Where only one user requires the Precedence Connector software, Standalone mode is recommended as the operation mode.

No further configuration is required to enable the download of Inca documents directly into Zedmed. Documents can be found in the patient’s Zedmed record under Results -> Import Laboratory Results.
