Miami Children’s Hospital uses information technology
to streamline operations, give real-time access to critical
patient data and save more children’s lives. Read more on
how Citrix enables them to pursue higher business goals.
WORK BETTER.
By providing reliable and system-agnostic software, Citrix enables
Miami Children’s Hospital to give efficient, real-time care to
its patients. With the launch of their Telehealth Center, MCH
is one step closer to “erasing geography” in its fight against
childhood illness. The center has multiple GoToMeeting®-enabled
videoconferencing pods that allow hospital employees to consult
with patients and other physicians regardless of location.
MCH benefits from an information technology solution that solves
user pain points while adapting to future needs. As technology
advances, the Citrix platform seamlessly integrates new operational
capabilities to enable doctors to help those patients within the
hospital and also consult with, diagnose and prescribe treatments
for patients around the world.
The Citrix model at Miami Children’s Hospital has revolutionized the
hospital’s information technology structure. Now, with the aid of
virtualization and mobility, the hospital can focus on its long-term
goals of sharing its knowledge and helping patients.
The speed of technology often outpaces medicine.
Secure Mobility:Miami Children’s Hospital
Miami Children’s Hospital has a mission to care for the health of children by bettering its team of doctors and passing its knowledge to physicians worldwide.
Part of its mission started with an initiative to use cost-conscious, cutting-edge technology to improve patient outcomes and save more children’s lives. Citrix infrastructure supports Miami Children’s Hospital’s electronic medical records, video teleconference capabilities and secure mobility.
Chief Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgeon Dr. Redmond Burke is using Citrix to save more lives. Dr. Burke’s team collects patient
data as a valuable tool to improve their surgical results. In the past, storing the massive amount of patient data effectively was
extremely difficult. For the data to be useful, it has to be easily and securely accessible. Citrix® XenAppTM and XenDesktop® are
at the core of the electronic records system. Doctors can securely access a particular patient’s file, view high-definition photos
of previous surgeries and quickly make critical care decisions even if they are far from the hospital. “It’s fair to say that Citrix
has become a daily part of my life. When I’m away from the hospital, I use any web-enabled device – my tablet, my phone,
my desktop PC – and through Citrix, I can enter my patient medical records and get the critical information that I need.”
Visualizing surgical data can help improve patient outcomes across the
board. Dr. Burke and his team can go back through surgical photos and
examine what techniques were used. Before Citrix, this data was spread
throughout hard-copy files that were not easy to organize. Now Dr. Burke
can quickly access charts and graphs stored in the XenApp-powered
electronic medical record, saving him valuable time, while allowing him to
measure his team’s performance.
Mobile devices. One of the most important tools in health care.
Citrix helps doctors turn data into better patient outcomes.
“ Our information systems are designed to allow us to capture data, turn it into information and leverage it into knowledge.”
