Q. What if I lose my Internet connection while using Sevocity?

A: If you briefly lose your Internet connection, the encounter you are currently working on is temporarily stored on your computer and will re-sync with your database when your Internet connection is restored. Many practices also subscribe to their cellular/wireless carrier for a wireless card for their laptop or tablet.

Because of this, many practices use the service on an ongoing basis, enabling them to access Sevocity and the Internet from virtually anywhere.
