Since Paul brought it up, I figured I would see if there was anyone else on the list who would be interested.
Shoot me an email off-line and we can share experiences and ideas. If enough are interested, we can start a listserv. We're almost complete with our rollout to 12 facilities, 425 end users, 65 physicians. Multiple interfaces to other systems, and a digital fax server. And we're attempting to use it within XenApp as well. Thanks, Jonathan L.

Jonathan we are starting to ramp up ecw for our physicians group. Do you have any info on this you could send me offline? Thanks dave From: Raper, Jonathan - Eagle [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 7:28 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: need suggestions...iPad in a Windows enterprise, anyone? eClinicalWorks, (our Electronic Medical Record system vendor) actually has developed a very slick mobile version of their application. The only platform on which it is supported? iPhone/iPod Touch (and I'm assuming support for iPad now as well). And we've had computer access to x-rays and other CR images for years. Now that we have a wireless network and tablet PCs, we've brought that functionality into the exam rooms. WE started doing that almost a year ago. Jonathan L.

The article indicates that they are using the Citrix application to access a virtual desktop. I have also heard of specialized applications that some medical systems are developing/using, particularly in the field of seeing x-rays et al right from the patient room. ________________________________ From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 9:02 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: need suggestions...iPad in a Windows enterprise, anyone? I'm hazy on what, specifically, these medical practices will be running on the iPads. Is this for web surfing? For checking e-mail? Or are there actual, real applications (e.g., electronic patient record systems) that run on them? It seems like a slate with Win7 would be more practical. Virtually every doctor's office and hospital I've ever been to was a PC shop.

I was read the thread this morning and then found this article on Network World: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2010/042010-ipad-healthcare.html BTW, my environment is pretty much like your's except we're only single site.
