Similar situation here.  2 hour idle timeout.  30 second disconnect into
reset.  10 minute password locked screensaver.

We run a custom-made clinic management package via citrix.

HIPPA creates some issues; you are supposed to enforce some sort of lockout
for when an operator leaves a station in a public area unattended to prevent
access. HOwever, if you establish a policy which requires operators to lock
their workstations, and some method for auditing this, you can probably use
pretty long session idle timeouts (8 hours is what I use).

Disconnect timeouts for me are mostly a housekeeping issue; I set them in at
15 minutes, with overrides for some users who do large bulk processes.
