NEWS Gothenburg's Health Authority, in Sweden, has unveiled a thin-client computing system to combat its Y2K compliance issues. The system will be installed by software and hardware companies, Citrix and IBM, and has been designed to run alongside other new server-based applications and the department's own medical application, Medidoc. ADB Kontoret, Gothenburg council's IT department, will be responsible for implementing the infrastructure across the city's 50 primary healthcare centres. The two main reasons for the investment are the need to transfer from the incumbent non-Y2K compliant, DOS-based architecture to a Windows environment, and the need to share clinical medical records across the fifty sites.
