This research investigates the applicability of thin client in a hospital environment. First, a set of thin client application criteria in terms of hardware, function characteristics, network, and application platform are identified. Second, we analyze the healthcare delivery process in terms of operation process, hardware, and application platform. Third, we evaluate the fitness of thin client application by matching the above two sets of criteria. A case study was conducted to valid the applicability of this approach. These results provide great insight for practitioners and scholars for enhancing their understanding of thin client implementation and provide implication guidelines to help practitioners adapt thin client in health care industry.
