HealthOne Configuration
Without doubt one of the strengths of HealthOne is its configurability.
Configuration is the way a system is set up, or the assortment of components that make up the system. Configuration can refer to either hardware or software, or the combination of both.
Hardware: This refers to objects that you can actually touch, like disks, disk drives,display screens, keyboards, printers, boards, and chips.
In contrast,software is untouchable. Software exists as ideas, concepts, and symbols, but it has no substance.
The user can configure and personalise the program to suit their own needs.
In order to make any configuration changes to HealthOne, there is a tool within the program. This can be found on the top menu when HealthOne is loaded.
When you click on the icon as marked. You are directed to a new screen
