For those clinics that have 1 - 5 physicians it makes sense to have a hosted desktop.  Eliminate the need for purchasing fat PC desktops, hardware repair costs, software costs, loss of data, security, IT management.  The ability to move from exam room to exam room and anywhere in the clinic with the use of a smart card.  Making your staff efficient and having patient information at your finger tips instantly rather then logging off and on which wastes your time and increases patient wait time.  With the hosted EMR desktop you have a choice from Mac, Linux, Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7; be able to use it at the clinic or securely from home following up on your patients results.  We offer this service to Canada, USA & Eastern Europe and if are interested in getting this in your clinic please visit http://www.greendatacentre.ca

I think virtualization is awesome!  We use VMWare ESX to post servers and desktops all over the country.  Doctors can VPN in to get to the web pages and then RDP straight to their machines.  It is very cool.

So how does this make seeing patients easier?  Can you explain a little more?

In the simplest of terms, your computer travels with you.  Anywhere you log into the broker your specific desktop travels to you.  No more different apps on different machines, etc.  Everything you have on your system is completely portable to any other physical location.
