While administrators and legislators continue to debate the impact of the meaningful use legislation, CIOs and CMIOs across the country are moving forward with their deployments of CPOE and electronic medical records (EMR) applications. The benefits of better decision support analytics through thin clients at the bedside and the use of EMRs throughout hospitals are must-haves in today's highly competitive healthcare market, and critical to achieving improved patient outcomes. The transition, however, is often hampered by the challenge of providing clinicians with fast and secure access to electronic patient health information (PHI), particularly given the increased focus on regulatory compliance.

This interactive discussion will explore how healthcare organizations are bridging the gap between clinician productivity and security. Mike Elder, Director of Technical Services, and Julius Blash, Lead VMware Technician, of Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital will share their perspective on the drive to improve workflow by providing clinicians with fast and secure access to McKesson, Meditech and Healthland EMR systems. Frank Nydam, Director of Healthcare Solutions at VMware, and David Ting, Founder and CTO at Imprivata, will join the conversation to discuss the impact of virtual desktop infrastructure in healthcare organizations, and the role that technology can play in increasing productivity and complying with HIPAA regulations.

Attend this webcast to learn about:

• Empowering doctors, nurses and hospitalists with one-touch follow-me desktops
• Speeding EMR adoption by eliminating password problems
• Deploying seamless authentication at ePrescribing
• Mitigating the risk of unattended desktops

"Desktop virtualization is booming," according to leading analyst firm The 451 Group-but not for the reasons it anticipated. Rather than replacing physical PCs, desktop virtualization is transcending existing methods of managing and securing desktops while increasing desktop and application availability. Nowhere is this truer than in healthcare IT. But for hospitals, change brings risks.

If you are considering desktop virtualization for your point-of-care solution but haven't started yet, come listen to Steve Coplan, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Security Practice, from The 451 Group, to learn:

• The real-world, unanticipated benefits of desktop virtualization for hospitals
• Reasons to start virtualizing desktops now
• Considerations for maximum return on your virtualization investment

Frank Nydam, Director of Healthcare Solutions at VMware, will demonstrate how you can improve clinician productivity, increase availability of your point-of-care solution and still secure patient data by providing:

• "Always-on" desktops that follow clinicians through the hospital with VMware View™
• No Click Access™ to electronic medical record (EMR) applications with Imprivata OneSign

Craig Spencer, Director of Dell Mobile Clinical Computing, will demonstrate how Dell can help you reduce risks by providing a fully integrated solution, purpose-built for your hospital.

The promise of improved workflow, more satisfied clinicians, simplified manageability and high availability has hospitals of all sizes considering desktop virtualization so that clinicians can get the information they need when and where it's needed. The allure of easy access to Protected Health Information (PHI) via roaming desktops at the point-of-care is that they improve efficiency and productivity for both clinicians and IT. But desktop virtualization is a major investment for any hospital. What can you learn from peers who have already made the leap?

In this Web-based panel discussion, Ed Ricks, CIO at Beaufort Memorial Hospital, and Ryan Winn, CIO at MidMichigan Health, will share key learning and results achieved from implementing virtual clinical desktops.

Attend this webcast to learn from two healthcare CIOs:

• Practical steps to consider before implementing desktop virtualization
• The importance of streamlining access to roaming desktops through single sign-on and strong authentication
• Implementation tips
• The tangible returns on investment in virtual clinical desktops

"With just the tap of a card our clinicians have fast log-on and log-off at thin clients throughout the hospital and by providing easy access to data, we have helped our clinicians embrace the EMR system. In fact, one doctor recently told me that I was finally doing something for him instead of something to him. We are in the process of attesting to stage one now, a position we would not be in without Imprivata and VMware." -- Edward Ricks, VP and Chief Information Officer, Beaufort Memorial Hospital
