Challenges in healthcare delivery
Role-based, secure and high performance access to medical applications and patient information when and where it is needed is
critical to improving patient care–maybe even saving lives.
Today, healthcare organizations are asking IT to improve the
eciency of medical care delivery and streamline access to
clinical applications and medical records, while maintaining
high levels of security to protect patient privacy and meet
compliance requirements.
At the same time, IT must reduce infrastructure and administration
costs, while utilizing existing operating systems and networks.
One of the key decisions for healthcare organizations is what solution to deploy to ensure that doctors, nurses, clinical and support
sta have secure access to appropriate data and applications
at the point of care (PoC)—hospitals, satellite clinics, labs and
doctors’ oces.
Rather than use traditional dedicated PCs and PC-based applications for every user, many healthcare providers are using Citrix
desktop virtualization solutions and NComputing’s N-series Citrix

NComputing’s N-series devices: cost-eective,
secure user access
N-series thin client devices for Citrix healthcare customers
dramatically lower the cost and complexity associated with
delivering a rich HDX-based multimedia experience without
compromising performance.
Purpose-built, optimized and certied exclusively for Citrix HDX,
N-series devices deliver a complete HDX experience at approximately one-third the cost of typical HDX-capable PCs and traditional thin client devices. The low acquisition cost frees up budget
for other IT and business-critical priorities associated with desktop
virtualization and specically Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
(VDI) deployments.
Powered by NComputing’s own third-generation SoC, Numo
built on the ecient ARM Cortex A9, N-series devices support and
simplify Citrix XenDesktop
application virtualization deployments with full HD video while
using less than 5 watts of power. The dual core design also delivers
superior multi-tasking performance when many applications are
running at the same time.
N-series devices are optimized to deliver HDX-based video content
across all applications and application types in virtualized environments. They also provide specic optimizations for packet processing and encryption—ensuring minimal network impact with
maximum network security—as well as oer exible deployment
with wired or wireless LANs.
With vSpace Management Center, IT can deploy and manage all
of your N-series devices from a single web-based management
interface. With the ability to create and manage prole groups,
management of N-series devices is highly ecient.

N-series healthcare use cases
N-series devices can be used at nursing workstations, at point of
care, within records management and across the entire workow of
patients and providers.
Built to eliminate moving parts such as fans and disk drives,
N-series devices are quiet and without heat dissipation, thus improving sanitary standards in healthcare settings.
Dust, clinical waste and cleaning uids cannot
enter the N-series devices unlike PCs that have less
reliability due to these factors. With no PC operating system to corrupt and no need for virus protection, these secure endpoints are built to avoid
disruptions in service. As a result of this reliability,
the life of the N-series devices is far longer at six to
eight years than the three-to-four year lifespan of
PC-based solutions.

N-series devices enable role-based, secure access for doctors,
nurses and other sta to easily log in to patient records, lab results
and clinical applications, as well as personalized desktops. These
healthcare use cases include:
n Point of care solutions with a combination of xed or roaming
stations
n Improving clinician workows and sta experiences
n Improving medical records security, accuracy and
administration

and locations. Point-of-care applications can include lab order
visualization and results, critical decision support and medical
image viewing, as well as managing and tracking patient status.
Some locations may be xed, either at the patient bedside or
a nurse’s station while others need to be on a mobile cart for
roaming purposes.
With both xed and wireless models available and 4 USB 2.0 ports
for appropriate peripherals such as a USB keyboard and mouse and
proximity card reader, N-series devices are a core part of a medical
infrastructure involving xed stations, mounted access and
mobile carts.

Support any workow, any application—With support for
user authentication and proximity cards within a Citrix session,
N-series devices can support any workow and any medical
application required.
n Shared workstations—Since practitioners are often moving
rapidly through a facility, they need the ability to quickly
update status or place orders from a workstation or medical

n High performance for data- and graphics-intensive
applications to support medical imaging—N-series devices
are architected to provide the highest levels of performance
needed for viewing medical imagery and crunching the
