care doctors and specialists. To save practitioners from
having to log on and off multiple times throughout the
day, IMG plans to deploy biometric security.  
Eventually, the system will extend to all aspects of the
organization, including business administration. The
medical group chose the Sage Intergy Practice Portal
to allow patients secure access to information, forms,
appointment requests and prescription renewal
requests. A Sage business intelligence tool is to
monitor financial and clinical data. A business
management application will enable IMG to automate
and streamline core accounting, payroll, financial
reporting and project management. The automation
achieved so far has enabled the medical group’s
radiology practice to reduce six full-time equivalents
devoted to scheduling, handing reports and manually
tracking information. The employment numbers might
not change, Simon says, but staff can be deployed
more efficiently. 
“Traditionally, physician practices have not invested
heavily in IT, so this represents a significant
commitment,” Simon comments. “Ultimately when you
consider the efficiency gains and the benefits of timely
treatment, the hope is it will translate into cost savings.
The key reasons, however, are reducing the potential
for error and better patient care. Someone in my own
family once suffered when a test result was not
properly followed up. I don’t want that to happen to
somebody else’s mom.” 
The ease of going thin
Considering the scope and ambition of IMG’s
automation project, Soler is delighted by his
organization’s choice of HP thin clients. The devices,
he says, are easy to deploy, simple to manage, less
costly, more secure and energy efficient. 
Thin clients are solid-state access devices that connect
via network to a server. Having no hard drive, they are
inherently more secure than other platforms; most of
the network data storage and processing occur on the
server. With no fan or other moving parts, thin clients
have a long lifespan and use little power. Maintenance
costs are low because software application updates,
virus scanning and patches are executed at the server.
Deployment costs are also low; thin clients can be
remotely configured and need not be set up
individually. Break-fix simply requires replacing 
the device. 
“With HP thin clients we’re able to log in remotely,
with no drive time or expense,” Soler says. “And it’s
simple to roll out HP thin clients. Imaging them takes
about 10 minutes or less, compared to several hours
loading applications on a PC. Upgrades are fast 
and easy. We have 10 Citrix servers hosting our

“The sheer volume of transactions we track
creates a lot of openings for human error.
HP thin clients and EHR software help us
detect and address patient problems 
without delay.”
