Offsite Logging

Offsite Logging allows you to use a laptop to edit patient records at a remote site e.g. in theatre, a patient's home or nursing home, and then update the main database with the changes, even though the main database may have been in use while you were away.

Setup

You must have the single user version of Genie installed on your laptop. It must be in the same Genie folder as the Genie Client application.

On Macintosh, your Genie folder should contain the 2 applications as shown here.

The Offsite Log Folder is automatically created the first time you begin offsite logging.

On Windows, your Genie folder should contain the files shown here.

The Version Number of Genie on your laptop must be the same as the Version Number of the network version of Genie on the server.

When you update Genie on your server, you must also update Genie on your laptop before attempting any offsite logging.

This is because a newer version of Genie may have a different structure with new fields in some tables. If you try to import a log created with an older version, you may get unexpected results, if it works at all.

Before copying the data file from the server, open your User Preferences, and on the Clinical tab make sure that the Remind me to Start Offsite Logging checkbox is selected.
