West Coast District Health Board
New Zealand
The West Coast District Health Board (DHB) is the organisation responsible for ensuring the provision of publicly funded health and disability support services for the 30,000+ people of the West Coast of the South Island. It provides medical, rehabilitation, mental health, nursing, surgical and corporate services. West Coast DHB has primary health clinics, which act as independent practices, throughout the 600km West Coast region.
The West Coast DHB IT strategy was to enable the South Westland clinics to work together and share information more efficiently.
West Coast DHB was using aging desktops to run a thin-client operating system in its hospital in Greymouth, so had already experienced the significant cost and time benefits associated with thin client computing. Over time these aging desktop computers would still eventually die and would be replaced with thin-client terminals. “Wyse thin clients were selected because they are compact, easy to maintain and are cost effective, relative to other thin client options or full blown PCs,” said Wayne Champion, CIO and FCO for West Coast DHB.
