Healthcare Organizations Leverage Citrix Solutions to Achieve Security Wellness and Provide Better Patient CareWith the December 2015 deadline looming for healthcare providers in the United States to comply with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) criteria for adopting mobile computing technologies, many organizations are finding that a secure IT infrastructure is no longer a luxury, it's a requirement. The overall vision of these regulatory requirements is to create a system in which patient data is captured at the point of care and physicians have easy access to patient health information. The end goal is to evolve from a manual data entry process to a comprehensive system that allows access to healthcare applications from anywhere - whether from a laptop on a cart wheeled between hospital rooms or a clinician's personal mobile phone. Citrix solutions allow information to pass securely over any network so information never actually resides on a device, but remains safely in the data center. Leading healthcare organizations such as Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, Nicklaus Children's Hospital, part of Miami Children's Health System, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, and Southcoast Health System have leveraged Citrix (News - Alert) virtualization, mobility management, and networking solutions to provide clinicians secure mobile access to critical apps and patient records from any device, without comprising security or compliance. Today, 90 percent of the largest healthcare providers, 100 percent of the US News & World report top hospitals and all of the top health information technology vendors leverage Citrix technologies to transform their IT infrastructures so they can maximize operational efficiencies and security while focusing on quality patient care.
"I need information about my patients; I need data. Citrix technology enables me to securely access critical patient information anywhere, anytime, on any device," said Dr. Redmond Burke, director of cardiovascular surgery at Nicklaus Children's and the founder of its Congenital Heart Institute.
"Thanks to Citrix Receiver, which allows our physicians to access the Epic application and crucial data including images from their mobile device, they can access everything they need from the palm of their hand," said Damien McKinney, virtualization architect, Saint Francis Hospital. "No longer being tethered to a physical workstation makes such an enormous impact on the efficiency of our clinical teams. Thanks to Citrix technology, we can seamlessly push applications to the physicians knowing that we are still providing the high level of security required. It's a win-win for everyone."
"Anytime physicians or nurses are faced with system downtime, it impacts patient care. With the Citrix platform, we're able to refresh, upgrade and advance the environment without ever impacting our business, which operates 24/7, 365 days a year," said Mark Lacombe, director of information technology, Southcoast Health System.
