Compress complexity and simplify healthcare IT for better care

Healthcare is inherently complex, from shifting regulations to intricate billing codes. But should your technology add to that burden? Absolutely not.  

For many healthcare organizations, IT infrastructure has become a tangled web of separate systems, security protocols, and legacy hardware. This friction slows down clinicians, frustrates IT teams, and ultimately impacts patient care. We believe it’s time to simplify and strengthen your organization where it counts. The Omnissa platform—which includes our flagship products Horizon^® and Workspace ONE^®—streamlines workflows, tightens security, and improves data access. 

Here’s how we help you simplify IT to empower better care. 

The high cost of IT complexity 

In a modern hospital, a clinician might log into a dozen different applications during a single shift. They move from a nurse's station to a patient’s room, then to a specialist’s office, and finally to a remote workspace. If the technology is fragmented, every transition creates friction. Slow logins, dropped connections, and incompatible devices are common results. 

When IT is complex, clinicians spend less time with patients and more time dealing with screens. For IT decision-makers, this complexity leads to higher budgets, security vulnerabilities, and constant support issues. 

Consolidate your stack with a single platform 

Simplification starts with consolidation. Instead of managing separate tools for mobile devices, desktop virtualization, and security—what if you could manage it all from one place? 

Omnissa provides a unified approach to the digital workspace. We bring together the management of every endpoint—from a rugged handheld device in the emergency room to a high-performance workstation in radiology or a personal tablet for telehealth. 

By simplifying your management stack, you gain:  

• Visibility: See every device and app in your ecosystem.
• Control: Push updates and security policies to everyone instantly.
• Agility: Deploy new resources in minutes, not days. 

Streamline the clinician experience 

The real test of healthcare IT is the clinician's experience. Does technology help them, or does it get in the way? 

The goal is to make technology invisible by ensuring apps and data follow the user, not the device. Whether a doctor taps their badge at a shared terminal or opens their laptop at home, their personalized workspace should be ready instantly. This seamless access reduces time wasted on administrative hurdles, meaning faster access to patient records, quicker decision-making, and less burnout for your staff. 

Flexible EHR deployment options 

Reducing complexity in healthcare hinges on choice. Omnissa provides flexible deployment models for Electronic Health Records (EHRs), allowing you to decide what works best for your organization. 

IT administrators know the challenges of managing EHR systems: endless installations, updates, and troubleshooting across multiple sites. Omnissa simplifies this with three options: 

• Published Applications with Omnissa Horizon Apps: Deploy your EHR securely as an application. Patch it once in the data center, and every user on any approved device gets the latest version instantly. This eliminates device-by-device maintenance.
• VDI with Omnissa Horizon: Deliver secure, personal virtual desktops that follow clinicians wherever they provide care. Their workflows and settings remain consistent, supporting productivity across any location.
• Endpoint Management with Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM: For local EHR installations, Workspace ONE UEM allows you to manage native deployments efficiently while maintaining robust security and compliance. 

Choose the right solution for your healthcare organization, adapt as needed, and scale on your terms. This approach gives you agility, reduces friction, and streamlines deployment. 

Security that doesn’t slow you down 

Too often, "secure" is synonymous with "complex," involving multiple passwords, restricted access, and clunky VPNs.  

Security should be built-in, not bolted on. By using context-aware, zero-trust security, we verify identity and device health in real time without forcing users through endless hoops. If a doctor is accessing sensitive patient data from a managed device on the hospital network, access is seamless. However, if they try from an unknown device at a coffee shop, the system intelligently steps up authentication requirements. This approach makes security a smart, background process that protects data without impeding care.
