I'm a huge fan of thin-client systems but the thinner the client, the less functionality it seems to support. A pretty smart colleague of mine, François Jean, is an engineer at Cardinal Health working on a bedside information system and he has some suggestions for healthcare IT systems that need to stay thin for deployment but remain just as functional as a desktop app.

François has more than 10 years of experience in the computer science field and is interested in simplifying and improving the quality of software for a faster time to market while maintaining a stellar customer experience. He’s in Cardinal’s Operational Excellence program where he’s training to become a Lean/Six-Sigma Green Belt. François has a master’s in Artificial Intelligence, a baccalaureate in philosophy and another one in computer science/mathematics. All that means he’s very well qualified and you should take his advice.
