Check access to other internet websites

Try accessing other websites that are not Rcopia. Anything will do, such as: Google, Gmail, Hotmail, or anything else.
If they take a while to load, but do load eventually, try the next step in this article.

If not, try turning the router/modem off and wait 30 seconds before turning it back on.

Check to ensure Internet Service Provider is not having issues/do a speed test

You can reach out to your Internet Service Provider to see if there are any issues, reported outages, or decreases in performance. Their websites should also have information and areas that may share this information

Additionally, you can Google search "speed test" or go to speedtest.net to check your network speed.

Check your local firewall to ensure DrFirst is not being blocked

For this, you may need to reach out to your local or internal technology team if you have one.  You should be able to use Google to learn how to check your network's firewall if you do not have a local or internal technology team.

Check for recent changes in network, security settings, malware, or new software

Just like the last step in this article, you may want to reach out to your internal technology team if you have one.

If you do not have an internal technology team and haven't had any new software downloaded or had any suspicious downloads, you can move onto the next step.

See if issue is just for one user or across multiple users/devices

Are multiple users at the practice experiencing the same issues with connecting to Rcopia or is this issue present on multiple different devices/machines?

If so, please feel free to reach out to us by submitting a request. 

 

Large amounts of data being transferred? (i.e., prescription signatures, renewals, etc.)

If there is a large amount of data being transferred, such as a large list of prescriptions or renewals being sent or if there are multiple items being changed or altered all at once, it may be necessary to reduce the number down to only one or two at a time.
