Healthcare is a critical industry that continues to grow as the population increases. Sectors across healthcare administration, insurance, pharmaceuticals and more-with numerous complex personas-are expected to be patient-centered, reliable and safe while adhering to highly regulated requirements. During the pandemic, telemedicine also grew in popularity.
Dell Technologies' thin client solutions can help healthcare organizations focus on what truly matters. In this blog, we'll delve into how these solutions are optimized to offer critical benefits, from enhancing patient focus to improving security and scalability in a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment.
Cloud Client Workspace solutions in hospitals are optimal VDI endpoints for accessing VDI environments, allowing nurses, doctors and physician associates and assistants to focus on their duties across multiple shifts. These solutions feature rapid login and a standardized "Follow-Me" user experience, supporting telemedicine and mobile workstations like nurses' carts.
Additionally, they include support for peripheral scanners used for document importation and eSignature pads used to capture patient signatures digitally. Imprivata and Identity Automation's proximity card and fingerprint reading enablement enhances efficiency and enables healthcare providers to prioritize more time for patient care.
Clinicians need efficient access to patient data as they move between locations, and Dell thin clients provide a consistent user experience. Dell thin client solutions enable healthcare professionals to securely access desktops and applications through VDI, enhancing security for patient records, medical images and critical information without compromising data privacy or compliance.
By processing and storing data in the data center or the cloud instead of on the end-user device, VDI helps to minimize the risk of data breaches, malware and unauthorized access.
Coupling Cloud Client Workspace solutions with VDI provides additional benefits. Updates, patches and policies can be pushed remotely from a centralized console, delivering streamlined device management and maintenance. If a device fails or is removed from its designated area, users like doctors or nurses can quickly access their work on a new device or at another station without risking data loss or patient record exposure. This results in improved end-user uptime and alleviates IT workload.
Designed to augment the security of VDI and cloud environments, Cloud Client Workspace provides secure manageability of Dell thin client solutions with Dell ThinOS, Dell Hybrid Client and Windows IoT Enterprise. Wyse Management Suite enables centralized control for secure data access, user access management and enforcement of strict security measures. This helps comply with regulations like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances (EPCS).
Disaster recovery is crucial for healthcare to ensure patient safety, regulatory compliance and operational continuity during unexpected events. VDI helps by providing centralized data storage, quick recovery, enhanced security and remote access, ensuring continuous patient care and data protection.
Cloud Client Workspace allows healthcare organizations to rapidly deploy new devices without sacrificing performance or security. It also supports various devices like desktops, All-in-Ones and laptops. Additionally, Cloud Client Workspace allows healthcare organizations to utilize cloud computing, providing flexibility, cost-efficiency, scalability and access to the latest technologies and innovations.
Here are just a few of the different scenarios where Dell thin client solutions benefit healthcare roles:
Exam Room. Provide quick access to medical applications and patient data while protecting patient privacy and ensuring compliance.
Clinical Spaces. Allows clinicians to access patient data and records immediately while with the patient.
Nursing Station. Ensure medical personnel and contractors can access only the necessary medical applications and patient data, regardless of their device.
Mobile Cart. Give a better patient experience with highly mobile and flexible access to clinical data.
