Point of Care


for Desktop Virtualization?


Find Out with a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Assessment Classify Data in Meaningful Ways


Hospital IT departments are tasked with improving clinical workflow efficiency while ensuring HIPAA compliance. With the expanded requirements of breach notification outlined in the HITECH Act of 2009, compliance is critical now more than ever. Virtualizing your point of care and desktop environments can assist with compliance while improving access to critical patient information.


Start by Understanding the Environment


A Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Assessment examines multiple aspects of your current environment: • Organizational drivers • Desktop virtualization criteria • Users and locations • Breakdown by department and function • Access infrastructure and network • End-user computers • End-user applications


Journey with Confidence


HealthConnection’s Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Assessment helps you understand the server, storage, and network needs for your unique environment and pick the right desktops to virtualize. Our assessment provides a clear starting point and helps you make fact-based implementation decisions with data derived from your own applications and deployed assets.


In order to gather a complete picture of the machines, users, and applications, you need to gather a significant amount of data. HealthConnection uses a data gathering and measurement tool to help you collect information about the environment, including an inventory of machines and applications, network latency, graphics intensity, disk I/O, CPU average use, login delay and much more.


Our VDI assessment methodology is designed to take the collected data and turn it into meaningful information. Each desktop is analyzed for how well it fits into a virtualized environment.


Best practices would be to sort out any desktops and users that are not good candidates for the first wave of VDI and start with the best fit desktops/users. Our assessment then helps you identify conditions in your infrastructure to remediate in order to make more desktops a better fit for virtualization.


How a VDI Assessment Works


1. First the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Assessment appliance is installed in your environment.


2. Next the tool gathers inventory and performance data about the desktop, users, and applications over a 30-day window.


3. Then our engineers analyze and distill the data into multiple reports that are summarized into Fit Ratings.


4. Finally we prepare a detailed Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Assessment report and review the findings with you.
