What operating system and browser versions are supported?

Electronic Health Record Sharing System (eHealth) has been tested for the following combinations of popular operating systems and browsers. This does not mean that eHealth cannot run on other environments, it only means that since we have not fully tested them on those environments, the systems may not behave as what we have intended, e.g. the screen displays may be distorted, the system performance may be degraded.
