What do you put in operatories, given what happens to them in there?

Operatory computers get sprayed with disinfectant, touched with gloves, and live in a room full of aerosol and moisture. A standard office desktop under a cabinet is a machine you will replace early and repeatedly, and the keyboard is the part that fails first.

What actually holds up: sealed keyboards and mice that can be wiped down, or standard ones under barriers if your team prefers that workflow. Small form factor or all-in-one machines mounted off the floor, positioned so intake vents are not pulling aerosol through the chassis. Solid state drives, which have no moving parts and tolerate the environment better while also making the imaging software feel considerably faster.

On the slow operatory: we measure before recommending a replacement. About half the time the machine is fine and the problem is the network path, the storage, or an antivirus product scanning imaging files it should be excluding. Replacing a computer that was not the problem is an expensive way to not fix something.

Ceiling mounted patient monitors and the media that plays on them are ours as well. We would rather own that than have you calling a separate vendor for a display that is part of the same system.
