At Silver Cross Hospital near Chicago, Illinois, 1,000 caregivers had to sign-on to each application they needed as they made their rounds, and then close each application for security. A new Symantec/Dell solution now enables each caregiver to simply swipe an ID badge, enter one password, open any needed application on a virtualized custom desktop, and then walk away when finished and have the desktop close automatically. Caregivers have reclaimed 20,000 hours a year for patient care. And the IT team can roll out an application to 200 endpoints in minutes instead of 80 staff hours.
