Wow, Bob, that sounds like a white paper to me. And of course all that
info is variable. Meditech is one app, but lots of hospitals run Epic
Hyperspace, or Power Chart from Cerner etc. Meditech is also a little
different depending on the version you run.
Any I am sure there is a TCO white paper out there that would get close
to what you are looking for, WE did one about deplying apps in different
ways in hospitals of different sizes and some of the benefits and draw
backs of different deployment mechanisms.
Shoot me a mail if you want a copy of that.

Hello,
We would be interested in hearing from anyone in a healthcare or similar
facility that has gone to a primarily Citrix/Terminal Services/thin
client environment for the delivery of ALL I.T. products (Meditech as
well as MS Office, etc.)
How has it impacted your users' workflow?
What impact has it had on your T.C.O.?
What effect has it had on the level of support you can provide your
users?
How often do you need to provide one-off alternatives for products that
are not TS friendly?
What is your ratio of concurrent use for licensing?
What is your ratio of concurrent users to metaframe or TS servers?
What would you have done differently?
All feedback is appreciated, thanks.
