EHR Isolated Recovery Environments with IGEL and Omnissa Technologies

Clinical Continuity When Every Second Matters

In healthcare downtime is not just an IT issue — it’s a patient care issue.

Ransomware attacks, natural disasters, and prolonged infrastructure outages are becoming more frequent and more disruptive. When electronic health record (EHR) systems go offline, hospitals face immediate consequences:

• Interrupted clinical workflows
• Delayed treatment decisions
• Increased operational strain
• Financial and regulatory exposure

Healthcare organizations cannot afford recovery strategies that take days to activate or require clinicians to operate with limited tools.

Resilient Healthcare organizations require a preventative model: The Full-Client EHR Isolated Recovery Environment (IRE).

What Is an EHR Isolated Recovery Environment (IRE)?

An Isolated Recovery Environment is a secure, clinical operating environment designed to function independently from the hospital/provider’s normal IT infrastructure.

IGEL + Omnissa: Full-Client EHR Continuity in Recovery

IGEL Secure Endpoint OS Platform and Omnissa Platform together enable a modern EHR Isolated Recovery Environment that delivers full-client access, not just browser fallback.

IGEL Preventative Security Model™

Key Benefits for a Resilient Healthcare Organization

Clinical Continuity: Full-client EHR functionality ensures uninterrupted care delivery during recovery events.

Operational Simplicity: Staff access recovery resources through the same familiar experience.

Stronger Security Posture: IGEL’s Immutable OS security, attested workload delivery, and real-time policy enforcement reduce ransomware persistence and insider risk.

Lower Cost and Reduced Complexity: Centralized management and pre-staged configurations reduce complexity when activating recovery environments.

Faster restoration of clinical operations: Runbooks support quick activation of the IRE so clinicians can continue work without waiting for the primary environment to recover.

IGEL Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery™

IGEL Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BC&DR) is an endpoint resilience and recovery solution that restores secure user access in minutes during cyberattacks, ransomware events, or Windows endpoint outages. Delivered as a fully functional IGEL OS Enterprise Edition, it enables organizations to maintain application access, user productivity, and customer service from the in-place hardware when Windows is compromised, without shipping replacement hardware or reimaging compromised devices. IGEL BC&DR is pre-configured as part of a business continuity plan.

Using IGEL Dual Boot™ authorized users can instantly boot their existing devices into the IGEL Secure Endpoint OS to securely access business-critical apps and services. In the event of a hard disk failure, authorized clinicians insert the pre-configured IGEL USB Boot device into their PC or Laptop, reboot, authenticate, open their Omnissa workspace, and resume familiar EHR workflows—even when primary systems are offline.

Omnissa Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Horizon 8 is a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and app solution that allows organizations to provide users with secure access to full desktops or individual apps on any device while maintaining centralized control over performance, policies, and infrastructure.

Take the Next Step Toward True Clinical Cyber Resilience

Healthcare resilience can no longer rely on partial access, manual downtime procedures, or browser-only fallbacks. Your clinicians deserve full-client EHR performance, even during a cyber event.

Now is the time to evaluate whether your current  business continuity and disaster recovery strategy truly protects patient care.

We invite you to start the conversation.

Schedule a strategy session to explore how an IGEL + Omnissa Full-Client EHR Isolated Recovery Environment can:

• Reduce recovery time objectives (RTO)
• Preserve clinical workflows during disruption
• Simplify endpoint management
• Strengthen zero-trust security posture
• Deliver measurable cyber-resilience ROI

Because when systems fail, care cannot.
