At my current institution the bottleneck is compute - Epic slows to a crawl midday no matter off prem or on. And unfortunately the only constant is academic healthcare IT is a trash fire.

Like many large facilities I’ve been in the US, the EMR and PACS viewer (for non rads) are often over Citrix (ie every workstation is a Citrix client). But how many people are simultaneously viewing images - it’s only a minority of users (both in general - the ancillary staff is not) and at any given time (most clinicians are not viewing images at any moment)
This is a large university affiliated center - the bandwidth used by the medical center is a drop in the bucket compared to the size of the pipes they (the uni) have.
