Why is Internet connectivity required from the clinic?
The EMR-Link system does real-time checking of the order against the central EMR-Link database, and this data is communicated over the Internet, and also tramsits the order via the EMR-Link system (even if the receiving lab is within your own enterprise). The requirements are the same as for a web browser; if you can access the web from a workstation then it can use EMR-Link.
