Delivering Allscripts Enterprise - July 7, 2010
Orlando Florida --
Top performance, security, and flexibility
to get the most from your HIT investment
with Citrix virtualization and networking
technologies
“Build it and they will come” may be true for Hollywood baseball fields, but
achieving organization-wide acceptance and utilization of health information
technology (HIT), such as an electronic health record (EHR) or practice
management (PM) solution, can prove a bit tougher. Physicians, other
clinicians, and staff may resist using an HIT solution unless it offers them
simplicity, fast performance, and flexible access from anywhere and on any
device. Unless everyone makes the move to the new system, the anticipated
ROI may be elusive.
Meanwhile, the IT team is looking for ways to reach its own goals for an
EHR or PM implementation: easy management, optimal data security, cost
savings, and minimal calls to the help desk. Traditional delivery models,
including client-server and web application publishing, carry significant
drawbacks ranging from slow performance and constrained availability to
time-consuming administration.
Citrix technologies are the best way to deliver
Allscripts Enterprise EHR and PM
Allscripts recommends using Citrix virtualization and networking solutions
to optimize the delivery, management, and user experience of its client-server
Enterprise PM solution and its web-based Enterprise EHR solution. Citrix®
XenDesktop®, which integrates desktop, server, and application virtualization,
together with Citrix® NetScaler® VPX for web application optimization help
customers get the maximum returns from their Allscripts solutions.
Virtualization comprises a set of rapidly emerging technologies that are
simpler and more adaptable than traditional distributed desktops, client-server
applications, or dedicated servers. At a high level, virtualization technology
decouples physical servers or devices from their operating system and software.
The user interface is delivered over the network as an on-demand service, while
the software components are centrally managed in the datacenter. Delivering
the user desktop in this way minimizes the amount of data transmitted over
the network, enhancing performance.
Advantages across the health care organization
Delivering Allscripts applications with these Citrix solutions provides these
strategic and tactical benefits:
For physicians and staff
• Increases satisfaction – Users appreciate high performance and
availability, plus a high-definition experience on any device
• Enables remote access – Delivery over the network to any
device, including a home or branch office computer, improves
efficiency and work-life balance
• Allows free roaming – Clinicians log in only once and their work
follows them on COWs and from device to device
• Saves time – Fast application performance helps streamline busy
schedules and carve out more time for patients
For IT administrators
• Simplifies management – Centralized implementation, updates,
delivery, and monitoring reduce the burden on IT
• Reduces TCO – Supports datacenter consolidation and delivery
to legacy devices
• Strengthens security – Secure remote access and single sign-on to
password-protected applications safeguard patient data
For the leadership team
• Accelerates ROI – Greater user satisfaction drives full HIT adoption
• Lowers costs – Savings are achieved from the desktop to
the datacenter
• Supports growth – Flexible, high-performance information
delivery enables geographic expansion
XenDesktop
XenDesktop combines desktop, application, and server virtualization and
other functionality, enabling customers to host, manage, and securely deliver
the Allscripts PM solution with the best user experience. The major components
of XenDesktop are:
• Desktop virtualization – XenDesktop delivers a complete Windows®
desktop to users on any device—PC, Mac, tablet, smartphone,
iPad®, etc.—with a high-definition experience. With a virtual desktop,
clinicians get seamless access to Allscripts applications plus other
resources in a single, personalized interface.
• Application virtualization – Citrix® XenApp™, a globally proven
technology, centralizes applications in the datacenter and delivers
them on demand to any device.

• Server virtualization – This popular technology for datacenter
consolidation and agility allows more than one virtual machine
to run on the same physical server, optimizing utilization and
reducing the number of physical servers. The highest Allscripts
performance can be achieved by running XenDesktop on Citrix®
XenServer® or Microsoft® Hyper-V™, but XenDesktop can run on
any leading hypervisor.
• Secure remote access – XenDesktop supports HIPAA compliance
by providing encrypted delivery of desktops and applications,
while enabling IT to set policies that control whether data can
leave the datacenter.
NetScaler
Citrix NetScaler VPX provides web application load balancing, acceleration,
security, and offload features in a virtual appliance that can be deployed on
standard servers in the datacenter. NetScaler accelerates Allscripts Enterprise
EHR up to five times through compression and caching, and ensures high
availability with server load balancing to direct users to the least-loaded web
server. NetScaler also strengthens application security via a web application
firewall and provides user experience monitoring that enables IT to oversee
application performance at the endpoint.
Proven compatibility and performance
Through an ongoing partnership, Allscripts and Citrix ensure the compatibility
of their products. Health care organizations that choose this joint solution
can look forward to faster adoption of electronic health records and practice
management technology by happy users—and that can mean an HIT home run.
