Digital Transformation Gives Clinicians
Flexibility to Work Anywhere
Bolton NHS Foundation Trust has adopted Citrix technology to
reduce costs and improve patient care by delivering critical
diagnoses more quickly – as well as allow clinicians and support
staff to access data and applications from anywhere. Providing
services at about 30 locations in the Bolton, UK area, the trust’s
clinicians tend to work around the clock from a variety of
locations, including patients’ homes, the hospital and out in the
community. As the trust didn’t have a mobility solution, staff were
not able to access hospital data when working in community clinics
or if working remotely. If specialists were not available on site,
critical diagnoses and patient care decisions were often
delayed.
To address this need, Bolton NHS Trust adopted Citrix solutions
for its digital transformation. Within the hospital, clinicians are
now able to retrieve their information where they left off using
any thin-client terminal on premises. With access to the same
desktop they use in the hospital now on a personal PC, tablet or
smartphone, clinicians also improved services in the community with
clinics in local healthcare centers. In addition to increased
mobility, Citrix has increased productivity as log-on times have
been reduced to just two to three seconds. With these changes,
Bolton NHS Trust exemplifies how Citrix is meeting the needs of the
future of work by delivering the industry’s most comprehensive and
integrated solutions.
Quotes
Brett Walmsley, Chief Technology Officer, Bolton NHS
Foundation Trust
“We wanted to give staff a consistent user experience wherever
they were: in the hospital, in community clinics or providing care
in patient’s homes. This is not just about technology as an
enabler. It’s not just about putting in faster machines. The Citrix
virtual desktop has changed the way clinicians work.”
Dr. Simon Irving, Consultant Acute Physician, Bolton NHS
Foundation Trust
“The new virtual desktop has made life so much easier as a
consultant working in acute medicine. All applications run much,
much quicker and I can quickly log in to the terminal closest to
the patient I am treating. Then there's the teaching aspect. I can
work on a presentation in my office, walk to the seminar room, tap
to login and there’s my presentation, ready to go. No messing with
pen drives, email or anything else.”
“Another obvious gain is from a data security point of view.
People used to leave their sessions ‘open’ as logging in and out
took too long to be efficient in an acute medical environment. Now,
the ease of logging in and out of personal desktops discourages
staff from leaving their sessions active. All in all, the new
desktops have made life simpler and more efficient in the
wards.”
