VMware Horizon 6 and AlwaysOn Point of Care Solution

Healthcare IT leaders face many challenges as they seek to deliver secure, reliable mobile access to patient information: legacy software systems and infrastructure, mandates for patient data security and a changing healthcare technology environment.

Overcoming these issues is critical, as data access issues that arise at the point of patient care can cause delays or have serious consequences. The virtualization experts at Zones can help you deploy VMware virtualization solutions that enable you to offer patient information access from any device at any time.

VMware virtualization solutions allow you to provide mobile access to patient records without compromising your commitment to information security, because data security shouldn’t mean delayed or limited access to information for healthcare providers. VMware virtualization creates a secure virtual desktop infrastructure that delivers benefits across the organization:

  • Improve workflows with virtual desktop infrastructure and provide secure access to patient information from anywhere on any device.
  • Achieve regulatory compliance and meet HIPAA security requirements by ensuring all patient healthcare information is stored in the data center, not at the vulnerable endpoints.
  • Provide access to patient information from the right device, at any time and from any location—24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.
