Case Study: Brodstone Memorial Hospital improves EHR access and patient care with IP Pathways and VMware virtualization

Brodstone Memorial Hospital cuts login times and manages hundreds of desktops with IP Pathways

Brodstone Memorial Hospital, a small nonprofit critical access hospital, needed to enhance the rollout of its Electronic Health Record solution. Their existing system lacked portability and scalability, and they aimed to reduce login times while improving patient safety and care. They partnered with vendor IP Pathways to address these challenges.

IP Pathways implemented a solution utilizing VMware for server and desktop virtualization, along with NetApp storage and Imprivata for single sign-on. This dramatically cut down login times, improved staff proficiency with the EHR, and allowed for greater data encapsulation to meet stringent disaster recovery requirements under HIPAA HITECH. The solution made the administration of hundreds of desktops more manageable for the hospital's limited staff.
