Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI) has been a game-changer in the healthcare industry, revolutionising workforce productivity, patient care, and cybersecurity measures. However, many medical practices meet significant barriers to adopting this transformative technology, primarily cost and complexity in managing on-premises infrastructures.
Fortunately, there's a solution: Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)
AVD is a desktop and application virtualisation service that runs on Microsoft Azure. This platform enables users to access virtual desktops and applications from almost any device, regardless of the operating system. Essentially, AVD allows you to create an environment where your users can access all their applications and data remotely, from anywhere in the world. Here's how AVD can significantly help medical practices:
Azure Virtual Desktop Benefits for Healthcare
- Secure Remote & Hybrid Work: AVD facilitates a seamless transition to remote and hybrid work environments. Healthcare professionals can access their work resources securely from any device, ensuring continuity of patient care while adhering to stringent security measures. Patient data stays secure in Microsoft's highly secure data centres, minimising the risk of breaches.
- Cost Savings: AVD cuts the need for expensive hardware investments and maintenance costs with its pay-as-you-go model. Healthcare organisations can scale resources according to their needs, ensuring cost-effectiveness and the best resource use. By reducing operational costs through pooling multi-session resources and minimising the number of virtual machines, AVD enhances overall cost efficiency.
- Strengthened Cybersecurity: AVD provides enhanced security features such as multi-factor authentication, threat intelligence, and data encryption to protect against cyber threats. This comprehensive security approach ensures the integrity and confidentiality of patient data, fostering trust and compliance with regulations.
