This is a guide to the minimum requirements for MasterCare.
It is recommended that clients always liaise with Global Health prior to purchasing MasterCare hardware and software.
Larger sites may require dedicated Application and Database servers.
A Medicare PKI Location Certificate is required for secure messaging of discharge referrals.
It is recommended that Production and Test/Training environments be hosted on separate servers. Should this not be the case, virtual machines must be setup for Test & Training environments. Licensing requirements should take this choice into consideration.
