How a private hospital network tests clinical applications before clinicians depend on them
A private hospital network delivers clinical applications to staff through Citrix. In a clinical setting, downtime can directly affect patient care.

The problem
Citrix session monitoring can confirm a session connected without confirming the clinical application inside it is actually usable.
What 2Steps tested
Citrix-delivered infrastructure supporting clinical applications.
Workflow-level validation of the applications staff use, not just session connectivity.
How it worked
-
1
Map clinical workflows
Priority clinical applications delivered over Citrix were identified.
-
2
Build and validate tests
Workflow tests were built to check the applications themselves, not just the session layer.
-
3
Run ahead of clinical staff
Testing runs continuously in the background, positioned to catch problems before clinicians encounter them.
The result
Testing runs continuously in the background of clinical operations, checking that applications work as well as connect. That covers problems session monitoring can't see, such as data entered into a clinical application not being saved correctly, so they can be picked up before clinical staff encounter them.
What's next
Monitoring will continue to evolve alongside the clinical application estate.
