Yep, this is Microsoft's answer to the terrible Citrix user experience, which is a non-trivial component of burnout in healthcare.
Every hospital basically tells their staff, several times a day, via an electronic health record system served over Citrix: we don't trust you, and you time is worthless, fuck you. All in the name of security.
Actually, what most hospital IT systems are trying to do is provide “follow me” desktops and an easy to replace endpoint. There are two major private clinic/hospital groups here in Portugal, and at least one of them uses Raspberry Pis and smartcards in doctors’ offices (most of which are interchangeable or need to provide for staff rotation).
It is a pretty sweet system (I noticed no lag as they pulled up my exams and clinical data, including radiology and charts).
What is so bad about Citrix nowadays? I’m not in the loop anymore but I did Citrix about 15-20 years ago (geez…) and it was working very well and our users liked it. So that was Metaframe XP on Windows Server 2000 and 2003 back then.
