About The Customer
Barton & Associates, Inc. is a company that provides staffing solutions to healthcare providers. The company offers physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners a wide variety of benefits, including the ability to travel, earn competitive compensation, and work when and where they choose across the country. At the same time, it provides hospitals, medical practices, and companies the ability to efficiently manage a wide variety of short and long term healthcare staffing challenges.
The Challenge
Barton & Associates, a healthcare staffing solutions provider, was struggling with an inefficient worker placement process. The company was using a combination of email, excel, and paper to manage the various parts of the healthcare worker placement process. This process was unwieldy, and Barton & Associates had little visibility into the status of pending requests. The overall effect was that Barton & Associates found that its staff was spending too much time trying to fill holes in the process with phone calls and redundant follow-up emails designed to verify important pieces of information that were not being effectively captured in the process. As a result of the inefficiency Barton & Associates identified in its worker placement processes, the company felt that it needed a solution that could automate the process and greatly improve its process management capabilities.
The Solution
Barton & Associates reached out to ProcessMaker Elite Partner Brainsell Technologies to understand what alternatives existed to accomplish an efficient process execution environment. Brainsell Technologies assessed the requirements provided by Barton & Associates and created a complete development and deployment plan for a ProcessMaker based solution in order to deliver process management capabilities to surpass the customer’s needs. After going through demonstration, evaluation, and testing phases, ProcessMaker was accepted by Barton & Associates as the ideal solution. The company has automated the company’s core process of Job Placement for Temporary Health Workers. The solution was built and put into production in a timeframe of less than 3 months. The current solution provides efficient workflow management serving both internal company employees and approximately 600 external temporary workers. Barton & Associates expects to execute a yearly volume of 6,000+ cases in relation to the initial core process alone.

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.
