It is always interesting to look back on how some of these big ideas started and generated enough momentum to become reality.\u00a0 At Children&#8217;s Hospital Central California, BYOD was a natural next step in our overall device strategy, as we partnered with VMware and planned to rollout a virtual desktop environment.\u00a0 Such an environment lessens the importance of the actual device, and instead shifts the focus to the connectivity of the device to the application. Interestingly, around the same time Children&#8217;s deployed the virtual desktop technology that would enable us to offer a BYOD solution, a small group of physicians, including our chief medical information officer (CMIO), began inquiring about the feasibility of utilizing personal devices. Out of this interest and through collaboration between the medical staff and IT, the details came together. Physicians expressed interest in utilizing their own laptops and other devices on the hospital wireless network to access clinical systems. \u00a0This raised obvious security concerns over the...","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.otava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/kirk-larsen.jpg"}
