Case Study: Atlantic Health System delivers secure EMR access and faster recovery with Citrix

Atlantic Health System restores Epic access in 39 minutes with Citrix

Atlantic Health System, a large non-profit healthcare network, faced the challenge of managing a sprawling IT infrastructure to securely deliver its Epic electronic medical record (EMR) system across hundreds of locations. To streamline operations and safeguard sensitive patient data while reducing costs, they turned to vendor Citrix and its solutions, including virtual apps and desktops, to create a consistent and scalable platform.

By implementing a Citrix ecosystem, which included NetScaler and thin clients, Atlantic Health System achieved seamless and secure application access for its staff. The results included a dramatic reduction in EMR update times from hours to just 39 minutes, significant cost savings, enhanced security through a zero-trust approach, and the ability to swiftly recover from cyber events. This Citrix solution also provided the flexibility to seamlessly onboard new acquisitions, ensuring minimal disruption to patient care.
