Dual-monitor setup

Most practices share one computer between EMR and AcuityMaster. With a dual-output video card, the first display drives the EMR; the second drives the patient-facing chart.

  • Video card with dual video output
  • 20–24″ LCD/LED monitor with HDMI (∼$150)
  • For video fixation: monitor with built-in speakers (audio over HDMI)

All-in-one option

A refurbished Dell OptiPlex AIO (models 2330, 2320, or 9010) mounted on the wall is often available from Dell Outlet for under $350. Mount directly in front of or behind the patient with a mirror.
