HiGS is a web-based application hosted on the HiGS web servers. This means that no special software needs to be installed in order to use HiGS.

No Special Software

HiGS
does not require any software to be loaded on your computer. All that is required to use HiGS is an Internet connection and a modern web browser. HiGS health customers connect to HiGS by entering their username and password into a login box on the front page of the higshealth.com web site.

A Modern Web browser

HiGS
is a web-based system and requires a web-browser to view it. It has been designed and tested for the following browsers:

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and above.
  • Netscape Navigator 7.0 and above.
  • Mozilla 1.4 and above.
  • FireFox 1.0 and above.

If you are using another browser, or an older version of the browsers listed above, we cannot guarantee that HiGS will work properly. Because HiGS is designed to emit industry-standard HTML, the HiGS system should be usable by any browser that is HTML 3.2 compliant.
