Case Study: SCL Health improves patient care and clinician productivity with Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop

Healthcare organization improves patient care with virtual desktops

SCL Health, a faith-based nonprofit operating 11 hospitals, 210 clinics and numerous care services across several states, faced the challenge of delivering timely, secure access to patient information and consistent workflows for more than 11,800 employees. Clinicians needed instant, anywhere access to apps and records to make split-second decisions, while IT had to reduce friction and protect sensitive data across many locations and devices.

SCL Health deployed Citrix Workspace solutions—including XenApp and XenDesktop, NetScaler, XenMobile, ShareFile and Podio—to virtualize apps and desktops, enable tap-and-go access, secure BYOD use, and streamline file sharing and workflows. The result: faster clinician access (some physicians can see an extra patient per day), fewer IT calls, expanded staffing capabilities across hospitals, and happier, more responsive doctors driving improved patient care.
