About The Customer
Amsterdam Ambulance is a healthcare provider that guarantees acute ambulance care and ordered ambulance transport in the regions of Amsterdam-Amstelland, Zaanstreek-Waterland and Kennemerland (Haarlemmermeer). Their main focus is on quality of care. The company is classified as a small to medium-sized business (SMB) in the healthcare industry. They have been extremely busy during the COVID-19 pandemic and are currently preparing for a second wave. Data is critical for their business and they need to be able to access it at all times, more so than ever during a pandemic.
The Challenge
Amsterdam Ambulance was facing challenges with its aging infrastructure and technical issues due to outdated equipment. The company had security concerns with multiple recovery locations and was in need of an easy cloud implementation solution. Their Disaster Recovery (DR) infrastructure was getting old and it was time to replace the environment. DRaaS seemed like the perfect solution to eliminate the cost, ongoing maintenance and cumbersome RFP process for their infrastructure.
The Solution
Amsterdam Ambulance decided to move their data protection needs to the cloud. They chose 11:11 DRaaS for Veeam as their solution. The company was looking for a cloud partner that would be compatible with Veeam and allow for a smooth transition. 11:11 was able to meet all of Amsterdam Ambulance's requirements, including ISO and HIPAA compliance, 24x7 support, a storage agnostic solution, in-country data center, cost-effective pricing with pay as you go, and a good reputation and history in the DR business. The support staff at 11:11 has been there to analyze and understand what Amsterdam Ambulance was trying to accomplish, and then work to come up with an effective solution.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
