About The Customer
CHG Healthcare, founded in 1979 and based in Salt Lake City, UT, is the largest and oldest physician staffing company in the United States. CHG offers physician, nurse and allied health staffing for temporary and permanent positions in all 50 states, as well as far-flung places like New Zealand, Australia and Guam — with solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of their clients. CHG Healthcare has grown significantly over the years, necessitating more sophisticated tools and processes to manage their operations effectively. The company prides itself on its ability to meet the unique needs of its clients, providing tailored staffing solutions that ensure the right fit for both healthcare providers and the institutions they serve.
The Challenge
As a staffing business, robust people and salary planning is critical to CHG’s success. Conducting their monthly rolling forecast and people planning was a critical, but manually intensive process. And while this was manageable as a smaller organization, using Excel® spreadsheets and legacy budgeting tools to manage CHG’s high growth became increasingly challenging. To complete the monthly forecast, the CHG Finance team would first export a payroll file from their JD Edwards Payroll system and then use the Oracle Smart View for Excel® add-in to extract budget data from their Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) application. From this, they would create over 150 individual Excel® spreadsheet templates and distribute them via email to the business owners for them to complete. Once those spreadsheets were complete, the Finance administrators would then use Smart View to load them into HFM to compile the results and send reports back to the business owners. With fragmented and manual processes, CHG required several iterations to correct errors. Spreadsheets had to be revised, and multiple emails were required to communicate issues and transfer new files. Adding to the complexity of this process was the need to closely manage sensitive payroll information to ensure it was only visible to the correct individuals. The process had become untenable.
The Solution
CHG began their search for a modern corporate performance management (CPM) solution that would address their immediate need for more sophisticated and efficient planning, budgeting and forecasting and support future expansion. After evaluating over 10 potential solutions, CHG selected OneStream’s unified and extensible platform to modernize their budgeting, planning and forecasting process. Steve Schultz, Senior Director, FP&A of CHG Healthcare Services said, “The deciding factors in selecting OneStream were the 100% customer success rate and that only OneStream offered a unified platform that would not require additional solutions to be purchased and bolted on.” For Phase 1, CHG targeted driving efficiency in planning, budgeting and forecasting. One of the first steps was to connect their JD Edwards payroll system to OneStream to eliminate the manual data export that was previously required. CHG also connected OneStream directly to their GL system. This eliminates the spreadsheets that Finance had to create, distribute and manage. Changes or updates to the data are now immediately visible, and audit trails provide a history of changes made. People Planning from the OneStream Marketplace enables CHG to conduct employee compensation, benefit, travel and expense planning with a 16-period rolling forecast and a 12-period budget. And with a direct connection to CHG’s payroll system, People Planning enables CHG to easily add new employees to the system and incorporate them into their financial planning processes.

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.
