Devices can be installed in the medical practice office’s local IT network to monitor and report network activity in an effort to identify activities, referenced above, that are consuming network and Internet bandwidth throughout the day.  This requires the careful coordination of your IT vendor/resources and StreamlineMD IT professionals. Using this monitoring technology, we’ve successfully worked with medical practice clients to pinpoint and address particular office users and activities that disrupt network performance throughout the day.  If you are interested in discussing this, please email helpdesk@streamlinemd.com for further assistance. Below is an example of a network monitoring graph.  The purple line is the bandwidth limit, which, if exceeded by capacity consumption spikes in the red or green lines, will cause noticeable slowdowns and degradation of performance a various times throughout the day.
