How to Improve a Clinician’s EMR Experience and Reduce Cost Through End Point Virtualization

T

This webinar covered best practices and lessons learned on how Dr. Yokasawa (Co-Director of Family Medicine Residency Program, Genesys Health System) was able to simplify secure delivery of applications using Symantec’s endpoint virtualization solution and Coretek services.

If you are in the planning stages or have implemented an electronic medical record (EMR), your doctors and nurses may be experiencing challenges with accessing patient information. Quick and secure access to clinical applications at the point of care is a critical factor for successful EMR adoption.

The need to compete for patient loyalty has never been higher than is it today. That’s why it is critical to take full advantage of technology while continually improving administrative efficiency and the patient experience. EMR systems are effective tools, but they are only part of the solution. In fact, many would agree they are also part of the problem. This briefing will address these challenges by showing you how to:

• Provide fast and secure access to patient information
• Increase productivity
• Streamline team communications

Presenters will be discussing these topics and will be available for sessions to answer questions you might have about how to best leverage technology in an ever fluctuating economy.

Coretek Clinical Workstation Solution

Virtual Clinical Workstations seek to provide physicians and clinicians the ability to focus more time and energy on the patient than with computer systems. It also reduces the administration overhead for the IT department through ease of deployment, consistency of desktop and applications for support purposes and quicker recoverability.

"The clinical workstation design that Coretek assisted in developing fits the fast pace, roaming work-flow of a clinical environment; [and] allows quick and easy access to clinical applications, improves application availability, reduces total cost of ownership, improves response time to reported problems, and improves the ability of our IT organization to rapidly deploy new clinical applications and upgrades."

Healthcare Workstation Challenges

Desktop Provisioning

Deployment of new desktop images and hardware for clinicians as well as consultants, contractors, and other temporary workers can be a costly and time-consuming process.

Application Migration and Updates

Clinical workstation. Nursing stations. Doctors mobile devices. As applications become more central to business operations, IT organizations are increasingly concerned with application stability, reliability and availability. What happens when a medical center’s main (EMR) application goes down? How do patients get the help they need if nurses can’t access the medical records? Disruption resulting from application migrations and updates can have a severe impact on quality of service and the bottom line.

Control and Manage Remote Servers & Desktops

From a Central Location Remote sites such as regional clinics, medical centers, and physician practices present unique challenges for IT organizations. Management complexity, inadequate infrastructure and a lack of administrative resources can make it difficult for companies to deliver consistent and scalable IT services to their remote offices in a timely manner.Operating Systems Migration, Migrating to a new OS like Vista or XP can overwhelm unprepared IT departments. With a traditional machine-based licensing model, hardware, applications and operating systems have been tightly coupled, leading to compatibility issues during OS upgrades or migration.

Has VDI (Virtual Desktop Technology) solved some of these issues?
