Overview

When deployed to a Remote Desktop (RDP) or Citrix environment, NoteSwift for Allscripts Professional consists of a server and client component. The server component (NoteSwift Server) is installed on the Remote Desktop server hosting the EHR, and it is launched in same Remote Desktop session as the EHR. Installation of NoteSwift Server is only required for EHR deployments using Remote Desktop. The client component (NoteSwift Client) is installed on the user’s machine where Dragon Medical is installed. NoteSwift Client supports EHRs running locally on the user’s machine as well as EHR deployments using Remote Desktop. NoteSwift Server runs in the same Remote Desktop session as the EHR, and the NoteSwift Client communicates with the server over a Remote Desktop virtual channel.

NoteSwift Server

System Requirements

• Either:

o Remote Desktop Server running on Windows Server 2008 R2 (preferred), or: o Citrix XenApp Server running on Windows Server 2008 R2 (preferred) • Disk: ~111MB (NoteSwift Server is installed per machine)

• Memory: ~40MB RAM per instance (each user will invoke their own instance of NoteSwift Server)

Prerequisites

NoteSwift requires .NET Framework 4.0 or later.

Download URL

Your distributor will provide the NoteSwift server and client download URLs

Installation

An administrator must perform the initial installation of NoteSwift Server, by running the NoteSwift server installer on the Remote Desktop or Citrix server where Allscripts Professional is currently published

Publishing the Application to Remote Desktop or Citrix

NoteSwift Server must be launched with Allscripts Professional in the same session. Generally speaking, a straightforward way of launching NoteSwift Server with Allscripts Professional is to publish a .bat file that launches both programs. Your administrator may have a different approach that accomplishes the same thing. The file that must be launched with Allscripts Pro is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\NoteSwift\NoteSwift for Allscripts Pro Server\NoteSwiftServer.exe

Licensing

No license is necessary to install the server component. All licensing is managed in the client component.

Firewall

Ensure that all traffic over ports 80 and 443 are allowed to/from the following domain: download.noteswift.com

Updates

Steps to Update the NoteSwift Server Component

1. Ensure all running instances of NoteSwiftServer.exe on the server are stopped/killed and that all users are logged out. Important: Failure to ensure that NoteSwiftServer.exe is stopped on the server may require a reboot to complete the update.

2. Navigate to the NoteSwift server installation directory, which is typically C:\Program Files (x86)\NoteSwift\NoteSwift for Allscripts Pro Server, and run file updater.exe, which will launch the updater as shown in the steps below.

Installation

The initial installation of NoteSwift Client must be performed by an administrator running the NoteSwift installer on the user’s machine where Dragon Medical Edition has been previously installed. Make sure RDP or Citrix is selected when prompted, to ensure that remote access support is correctly installed if that is the needed configuration. Note that the install must be done with administrative rights.

If this is an upgrade from 1.0, the NoteSwift installer will silently uninstall 1.0 prior to installing 2.0. Note that these versions are mutually exclusive.

Updates

NoteSwift Client automatically checks for updates each time it starts. If an update is available, it is downloaded and applied. Any user can apply an update, even without administrative rights.

Licensing

Users must enter a valid license key when NoteSwift is run. NoteSwift cannot be used without a license key. If you do not have a license key, please contact your distributor or reseller.
