IT infrastructure for healthcare is comprehensive, complicated and most importantly, always there. Healthcare professionals are increasingly mobile and always need access to their information quickly and securely. Using a combined Citrix and AppSense solution, it’s possible to both meet user demands and reduce IT management overheads.

AppSense user virtualization represents a fundamental change in the way the corporate desktop is constructed, delivered and managed. The user component of a desktop (user personality) is decoupled from the operating system and applications, managed independently and applied into a desktop as needed without scripting, group policies or use of cumbersome user profiles—regardless of how the desktop is being delivered.

This alternative approach enables a consistent quality of service to the user regardless of the delivery mechanism and reduces logon times dramatically—extremely important in such time sensitive environments. AppSense can effectively manage profile settings across distributed server silos removing the potential for profile corruption which can be common with medical practitioners logging in and out several times a day, maybe even several times an hour.
