How health industry can gain benefits by thin client?

Healthcare center is growing faster all over the world due to advancement in technologies. To keep healthcare data secure is a great security challenge in hospitals including private or public clinics. In this scenario, thin clients are quite beneficial in hospitals for optimizing virtual environment. On the basis of authentication, hospital network can be accessed by healthcare professionals from anywhere, anytime or any device. It is all possible by virtual infrastructure which is best supported by thin client device.

What is thin client?

Thin client is a device that acts as an interface between a server and the workstation. This interface enables health care professionals to access the applications, desktop environments, compliance documents, and patient data that are stored on cloud server.

No matter which device in use, accessibility depends upon variety of authentication of users. There is a trend of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and healthcare IT works well with it.

Research says that thin client base installation increases from 17 million to 30 million by 2015. Virtualization and cloud computing are perfect techniques for health care expansion. Thin client brings significant management capabilities. It provides best care to patients at low costs.

Benefits of using thin clients in healthcare centers:

Full-time security and data-privacy:

Since data is only stored on a central server so it eliminates the risk of patient data being stolen or lost. Thin clients are centrally managed where accessibility can be controlled from server. It is easier to prevent viruses or malware to get enter into the network.

Saving costs:

Thin clients are competitively low in price than traditional PCs. Since data is stored centrally so there is no maintenance and up gradation costs are spending on individual computers.
