You will find yourself enlarging the image to read text and then needing to shrink the image to provide context.  This is workable only for a couple of simple tasks at a time.

The use of a tablet computer as the remote device gives you more screen real estate to work with but you may still find the screen size less than ideal.  Of course if your remote device is a desktop computer similar to the remote host, these usability issues are removed. 

However, the need for the remote computer to be of similar format to your office PC will limit your mobility.

This gets me back to the end of the free offering.  LogMeIn’s paid options will run you $99/year for their “Pro” version or as much as $249/year for “Pro for Power Users”.  If you are using a free offering from another vendor, do not be surprised if they follow the LogMeIn lead and end their free service as well.

So, if you are considering paying for this access, approach your practice management system vendor and ask if they have an alternative.  Many have built products in the last few years that will meet your remote needs. 

Here is a link to a tool that DMC sells to remotely access its Daisy practice management software.  Unlike a generic tool like LogMeIn, the practice system vendor’s tools will likely be customized to their products and the screen sizes of the remote device.

Don’t spend too much time lamenting the end of LogMeIn’s free offering. 

Using it as an opportunity to re-assess your remote access needs would be a right click.
