1. Can I load the IRISv3 or IRISedv3 program on a local area network (LAN)?

   CMS recommends that the programs are loaded onto the computer's harddrive (c:\). IRISv3 and IRISedv3 are single user programs but in some cases they can be run from a network file server.  However, the programs should not be used in a multi-user environment (more than one user entering or changing data at the same time).

4. What is the difference between IRISV3 and IRISEDV3?

   The IRISV3 program is used to input your intern and resident data.  The IRISEDV3 program is used to edit check your IRIS diskette before you send it to Highmark Medicare Services.
