s Virtual Desktop Solution for Healthcare Facilitating Caregiver Mobility While Safeguarding Patient Data Provider organizations are dynamic environments in which staff and clinicians need to quickly access hospital information systems (HIS) and patient records (including treatment guidelines and imaging archives) from a variety of locations.

Complicating matters, this data is sensitive and private, so the system and access to the information that resides there must be secure. Although hospital employees have historically used desktops to access HIS and patient-record applications, such an approach presents a number of challenges for the specialized healthcare environment.These include Providing secure, speedy access to patient data ? Ensuring session mobility between inpatient and ambulatory care delivery locations, ? onsite and offsite doctors'

of?ces, and administration areas Changing the type of data and the security aspects based not only on the user'

s ? access role but also their location in the health system Facilitating secure availability of patient data on mobile devices ? Dealing with rising administration costs ? Providing access to legacy applications from diverse platforms ? Meeting compliance and regulatory requirements ? Oracle'

s virtual desktop solution for healthcare addresses these challenges by providing caregivers with secure, mobile access to HIS and patient records―wherever and whenever they need them. It does this by virtualizing complete desktop environments and installing them in the datacenter where they can be secured, managed, and maintained. As a result, caregivers spend signi?cantly less time accessing critical data, and the IT department ends up managing a few servers rather than hundreds or even thousands of desktop devices.

A Simple Solution for a Fast-Paced Environment With more and more healthcare workers requiring remote access to information and applications to better care for their patients, reduce medical errors, and provide services more cheaply and ef?ciently, Web delivery of such data has emerged as one option. However, rewriting applications for delivery over the Web is not only costly and time consuming, but it can also strip away familiar user interfaces, making once-easy applications dif?cult to use. In fast-paced medical environments, this simply won'

s virtual desktop solution for healthcare addresses these critical challenges. Using familiar interfaces for applications and desktops, Oracle'

s virtual desktop solution for healthcare eliminates the need to retrain users and reduces logon times from minutes to seconds―essential in environments where time is a critical component of care. With Oracle'

s virtual desktop solution for healthcare, IT staff can provision desktops and applications to end users who have been assigned access rights based on individual or group criteria. Access to these desktops is then provided by Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure to users of both Oracle'

s Sun Ray Client devices and traditional PCs. As a stateless client that needs no con?guring, Sun Ray Clients serve as an ideal choice for healthcare. Sun Ray Clients consume signi?cantly less energy than traditional PCs and have no fan to attract and spread airborne contaminants for patients and care providers to breathe. Because Sun Ray Clients are clean and quiet, many healthcare organizations are ?nding them to be the only devices acceptable to place in the room near the patient. Integrated smart card readers help ensure quick access to desktop sessions from any Sun Ray Client. The solution also allows secure, browser-based access to the same desktop session from a wide range of other client devices, including Windows desktops, Apple Macintosh computers, and other thin clients.
