  • local Printer - ehealth to set up if know destination of laptop
  • RIS/PACS - Impax install
  • StB Electronic Patient Record - if the laptop is to go to StB, it needs to be added to the EPR list there to get access. They still do some other stuff different, too, almost might be worth to get them to set it up in the first place.
