HIMSS is the world’s preeminent healthcare IT show, focusing on a combination of recurring and new global healthcare topics, with education sessions and special events featuring thought leaders from across the industry.
HIMSS19 attendees who visit Stratodesk at booth 527 in the Citrix Ready Partner Pavilion will get an inside look at how we help healthcare IT solve common obstacles, and how our solution works with Citrix to unlock the full benefit of healthcare VDI.
We will provide an inside look at the Citrix Ready workspace hub, the next generation endpoint device for healthcare (powered by Stratodesk NoTouch software), and how it integrates with Imprivata technology to solve the challenging use cases facing healthcare IT. Attendees will also get live demos showing how our software offers the most complete integration of Imprivata single sign-on available on the market.
Key Challenges Facing Healthcare
- The Windows Issue — The first obstacle is overcoming the Windows issue. To allow for VDI, healthcare organizations need to house Windows on each of their endpoint devices. In addition to installing Windows, they must also maintain and manage these devices and provide antivirus and malware protection for them.
- The Problem with Security — The key concern for healthcare IT, system admins must not only increase security but must ensure that they are compliant with HIPAA regulations. These regulations dictate what can and cannot be done with patient information. Healthcare professionals must be able to quickly and conveniently access this information on the go, whenever and wherever they need it.
- Data and Application Delivery — Accessibility is the third point, and cannot be stressed enough. Healthcare staff need an endpoint solution that is accessible and that offers a seamless user experience. In a healthcare setting, technology that saves seconds is of paramount importance.
Stratodesk Solves These Key Issues
Through the integration of Citrix, Stratodesk and Imprivata, healthcare organizations can get the full benefit of their VDI, harnessing the power of secure endpoints, cost savings, and convenient and secure access to patient data and applications.
No Need for Windows
Because Stratodesk NoTouch OS is Linux-based, you do not need to have Windows installed on your device. This effectively removes the costs and overhead of updating, maintaining, and securing Windows-based endpoints in your VDI.
Boost Security and Accessibility
By having the Citrix Workspace app preinstalled and supporting Imprivata on NoTouch OS, we can ensure that healthcare professionals get easy and secure access to the information they need.
Save on Costs
NoTouch Desktop easily repurposes PCs, laptops and thin clients in your healthcare VDI into NoTouch endpoints, operating on NoTouch OS. Our integrated management suite, NoTouch Center, also gives complete control over all VDI endpoints. Reduce IT staff hours and hassle with a single endpoint management solution for your entire VDI.
