Critical Infrastructure for Comprehensive Care
In 1997, the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago (UIMCC) began the transition from paper to an electronic medical record system. Today the clinics operate with most patient information stored and accessed through the medical center’s network and centralized data centers. A physician can pull up the results of an MRI within seconds or read notes in a patient’s record from the ER and the clinic without having to locate a paper chart.
"When you walk into our nursing units," said Engelhardt, "there isn’t an available computer. We have 3,000 Medical Center employees and 7,000 users of clinical systems who need access." To ensure fast access and protect patient information, UIMCC adopted a thin-computing solution. Users log-in to use applications and information based on who they are and their role in the system.

"The Wyse thin clients alleviate potential data security concerns. They provide peace of mind. If I had all thin clients, I wouldn’t have to worry about hard drive disposal issues."
