Seamlessly sharing patient cases between multiple devices is essential for clinics using Arbrea Suite. With the Private Cloud option, you can automate patient case synchronization across different Apple devices, ensuring smooth collaboration between surgeons and staff.
This guide walks you through the step-by-step process of sharing and syncing patient cases in Arbrea Suite. You will learn how to manually share cases, enable automatic iCloud synchronization, and manage multiple patient cases across devices for a seamless workflow.
Manually Sharing a Patient Case #
By default, patient data in Arbrea Suite is stored locally on the iPad. If you need to share a patient case with another device manually:
- Open Arbrea Suite and go to the Patient List.
2. Select the patient case you want to share.
3. Use the “Share” option to send the case to another device.
Downside: This method requires manual sharing each time, making it inconvenient for clinics with multiple devices.
To streamline patient case synchronization, we recommend activating automatic iCloud synchronization.
Enabling Automatic iCloud Synchronization #
If your clinic has multiple devices (e.g., iPads used by different surgeons or assistants), automatic iCloud syncing ensures that all patient cases are instantly accessible across devices.
How to Activate iCloud Patient Synchronization #
- Ensure All Devices Are Connected to the Internet
- iCloud syncing requires an active internet connection.
- Open Arbrea Suite and Go to** Advanced Options**
- Navigate to the settings menu in Arbrea Suite.
- Locate Advanced Options.
3. Activate iCloud Patient Synchronization
- Toggle the option ON.
4. Use the Same Apple ID on All Devices
- For synchronization to work, all devices must be logged into the same Apple ID.
5. Verify iCloud Storage Subscription
- If your clinic handles a large number of patient cases, consider upgrading to a paid iCloud plan for more storage.
- If you have a limited number of cases, a free iCloud account should suffice.
Advantage: With automatic iCloud syncing, patient cases are instantly updated across all connected devices, eliminating the need for manual sharing.
Managing Multiple Patient Cases Efficiently #
For clinics managing a high volume of patient cases:
- Ensure all devices have iCloud Sync activated in Advanced Options.
- Use a centralized Apple ID for seamless sharing.
- Regularly check iCloud storage capacity to avoid data limitations.
- Sync new patient data before consultations to ensure all team members have access to the latest updates.
Conclusion #
The Private Cloud option in Arbrea Suite simplifies patient case management with automatic iCloud syncing, secure data storage, and multi-device accessibility. By utilizing seamless sharing, real-time updates, and efficient workflow integration, surgeons can enhance consultations and achieve streamlined pre-operative planning.
