Remote Access – Apps Center

Apps Center is a website where you can easily access your Houston Methodist applications and I-drive. It displays icons for many of the HM apps you use.

  • You can choose the ones you use most and save them on your Apps Center Favorites page. 

  • Apps Center is available on and off the HM network.

  • It only works on laptops and desktops (not tablets or smartphones).

  • You can’t access your C-Drive from Apps Center.

Set up Apps Center

  • Apps Center works best with Internet Explorer or Chrome.

  • Go to apps.houstonmethodist.org. You may see a screen saying Detect Receiver. If so, click Detect Receiver.

  • You’ll see the icons for available apps. Find the aps you use most. For each app, click Details, then click Add to Favorites.

 

  • From now on, when you log in Apps Center, it opens to your Favorites.
