ThinIdentity Corporation Improves Healthcare Industry Workflow with Groundbreaking New Technology
Caregivers Get Near-Instant Access to Patient Information Anywhere in the Hospital with New Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Solution
DENVER, Colo., MAR. 23, 2009 – Today, a new Denver-based technology company called ThinIdentity™ Corporation has launched a cost-effective solution that will significantly change the way doctors and nurses care for patients. The ThinIdentity solution dramatically improves their workflow by providing reliable, near-instant access to electronic information. Standard computer logon times can stretch to minutes. The ThinIdentity solution, however, allows for seamless smooth-roaming and consistent access to data within seconds, from any location.
“We know first-hand the technology challenges caregivers face. When one considers that most caregivers log on to a PC and applications over 50 times per day, and each logon can take at 30 seconds to a few minutes, we’re giving doctors and nurses a significant amount of time back in their days,” said Joe Jaudon, founder and chief technology officer, ThinIdentity Corporation.“Not only are we improving the efficiency and effectiveness of today’s healthcare providers, but we’re also allowing for near-instant access to patient data at the bedside, reducing clinical errors, and improving overall patient care.
Doctors and nurses have embraced our solution because it gives them more time to care for their patients,” said Roy Perry, CEO of ThinIdentity Corporation. “This enables the “meaningful use” of Electronic Health Records and Computer Physician Order Entry which helps support regulatory compliance, and allows hospitals to access significant funds available under the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009.”
How ThinIdentity Delivers
By replacing hospital PCs with stateless thin-client terminals connected to a ThinIdentity Synchronizer™, doctors and nurses can quickly insert a smart card and in mere seconds from anywhere in the hospital, they are logged on to their own unique desktop, with access to location-appropriate applications. ThinIdentity simplifies a caregiver’s workflow by dynamically updating policy, content and location specific functionality such as printing as a doctor or nurse moves to a new location in the hospital.
For hospital IT managers, ThinIdentity delivers a centralized, standardized desktop environment for application delivery, dynamic software updates, and tighter security. This results in a more efficient infrastructure that reduces operational and environmental costs. And, because ThinIdentity terminals are stateless thin-clients, each terminal can be deployed in minutes and have a useful life of more than 10 years.
“ThinIdentity’s solution fits into most hospitals’ capital budgets for PC refreshes, meaning it’s a very affordable solution,” continued Perry. “The solution also delivers an attractive and timely ROI.”
Proven Results in Hospitals
A ThinIdentity trial hospital has seen dramatic productivity improvements and cost savings resulting in financial gain of $6 million in the first 18 month period.
Prior to ThinIdentity, 30-second to 2-minute computer logons severely impacted the workflow of caregivers at this hospital, driving them to develop workarounds to using the sluggish PCs. In addition, IT administrators constantly were having to repair distributed PCs which were frequently infected with spyware and adware. Their CIO knew the caregivers needed a faster desktop solution, but he required a system that would complement the hospital’s existing desktop environment, Windows architecture, and current applications. After an initial implementation at the hospital’s orthopedic clinic, the results were astounding. For the first time, caregivers started using the system instead of avoiding technology, and soon, doctors and nurses were demanding ThinIdentity’s implementation across the hospital.
