About The Customer
The customer is a national, diversified, non-profit healthcare partner that serves members through its businesses in health insurance, dental insurance, vision care, and reinsurance. Its mission is to make high-quality health care readily available, easily understandable and truly affordable in the communities it serves. The company was looking to automate processes to lower infrastructure and manual labor costs, and decided to move some operations to the cloud (Azure), while still sustaining an on-premise base. The company required visibility across both its Windows and Linux assets with the ability to automate DISA STIGS, SOC2, and HIPAA compliance assessments for its cloud and on-premise.
The Challenge
The company, a national, diversified, non-profit healthcare partner, was looking to automate processes to lower infrastructure and manual labor costs. It decided to move some operations to the cloud (Azure), while still sustaining an on-premise base. However, maintaining visibility and automating compliance within this hybrid infrastructure was a major concern for the security/IT teams. The company required visibility across both its Windows and Linux assets with the ability to automate DISA STIGS, SOC2, and HIPAA compliance assessments for its cloud and on-premise. After looking at “cloud security” solutions, they found that they failed to integrate into the organization’s business-critical applications, meet required compliance regulations, and address network complexities.
The Solution
The company chose Cavirin’s CyberPosture Intelligence solution for its ability to provide automated Azure and on-premise account security with DISA STIGS, SOC2, and HIPAA compliance and visibility across all of the organization’s servers. Cavirin’s seamless integration to the organization’s RSA Archer GRC platform permitted streaming of security insights from both on-premise and cloud servers to a centralized solution. This allowed the company's overall cybersecurity posture to be easily managed from their GRC platform and meaningful reports are now promptly being delivered to the stakeholders. The push button compliance assessment capability from Cavirin has automated the whole process so the company can derive and maintain its “golden posture” with minimal resources. Cavirin’s CyberPosture Intelligence provides a set of visibility and control capabilities that allow organizations to automate security policy across their hybrid cloud data centers to reduce a growing attack surface area and assure compliance with industry regulations.

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.
