FAQs

The MediHealth suite was built as an online software product. That means users access the software using a simple web browser. It can be used on any technology platform (E.g., Mac or Windows) and devices such as iPads, laptops or desktops. The software is also cloud based which means there are no servers required to be purchased or managed by our end users. This keeps costs low and accessibility high for our users.

MediHealth software is hosted on our own dedicated servers, housed in commercial secure hosting sites in Greater Melbourne.

The system is available 24x7 and monitored using automated alarm systems which communicate directly to our technical support. All servers are interconnected on the public network, providing very high levels of redundancy against hardware and network failure. MediHealth maintains up-to-date intrusion detection & prevention, virus detection and security management software designed to prevent unauthorised access to the system.

MediHealth runs a mirror, multi server dual site backup strategy. This means if a server has a failure we can restore one of the mirror servers which is backup hourly. If there is a catastrophic failure in the main data centre we can switch to another data centre physically located in a different location in Melbourne. This data centre is mirrored every 3 hours.

The reliability of internet is generally very high these days and getting better. However there is the chance of losing internet. We recommend running a dual internet setup having a 4G internet modum available for switch over in the case of an outage. A 4G connection can run large Surgeon rooms while the main internet is restored.
