Act Now: Update Citrix Workspace by Tuesday, Jan. 16, to ensure access to BHApps
Citrix enhancements will be made on Wednesday, Jan. 17. Anyone using personal devices that are not on the minimum required Citrix version will be unable to access applications in BHApps.
Having the latest software version is critical to staying secure. By Tuesday, Jan. 16, all Corewell Health team members who access BHApps for Epic and other Corewell Health apps on personal devices (laptops, tablets, and mobile devices) must update Citrix Workspace to the minimum required version to ensure access to BHApps when Citrix enhancements occur on Wednesday, Jan. 17.
Citrix Workspace is the system used to remotely access applications hosted on BHApps.

Community Connect and Ambulatory offices may need to contact their IT department to determine their options for updating.
Why this is important
Team members who do not have the minimum required version of Citrix Workspace by Jan. 16 will be unable to access applications through BHApps due to a Citrix update happening on Jan. 17. Team members may also experience delays in receiving support from the Service Desk support after Jan. 17 due to this update.
Digital services may make enhancements and upgrades to BHApps in order to support additional features. Anyone using an outdated Citrix Workspace version will experience errors when connecting to applications in BHApps including, but not limited to:
- Error messages when launching
- Sessions disconnecting or reconnecting frequently
- Overall degraded performance
