Desktop Virtualization for Healthcare Providers
Doctors, nurses and clinical and support staff in hospitals, clinics and physician offices within Citrix healthcare HDX deployments require secure, role-based access at point of care (PoC) to clinical applications, patient information and medical records, as well as personalized desktop experiences.
Expanding Healthcare Delivery at Point of Care (PoC) for Citrix HDX Deployments
With centralized device management, wired and wireless options, and secure user access, NComputing’s N-series Citrix® Ready HDX™ Verified System-on-Chip (SoC) Thin Client devices transform the economics of existing desktop virtualization by enabling healthcare organizations to more fully extend their Citrix HDX deployments to more users at PoC with performance equal to or better than that of PCs—at dramatically lower cost than PCs or traditional HDX-capable thin clients.
Combined with a Citrix HDX deployment and Imprivata® OneSign® Single Sign-On, these cost-effective, devices enable role-based, anywhere/anytime secure access to patient medical records, clinical applications such as those from Cerner, McKesson or Epic, as well as personalized desktops—whether from fixed workstations, shared PCs or mobile medical carts in a wide variety of PoC locations.
