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?
