About The Customer
Estill County EMS is a medical service provider that operates 24/7/365. The organization is overseen by a Board of Directors and employs a staff of medical professionals who need to be able to access the facility at all times. The EMS building houses a medical room where controlled substances are stored, in accordance with DEA regulations. The organization also has a sub-station location with additional doors that need to be secured. The EMS staff and Board of Directors were looking for a security solution that would meet their wide-ranging needs, including securing the medical room and ensuring the safety of the facility for staff.
The Challenge
Estill County EMS was looking to secure their building which operates 24/7/365. The main goals were to secure the medical room, as per DEA regulations, and to ensure the facility is safe for staff at all times, even when they need to leave at a moment's notice. The infinias system needed to manage a total of six doors at the main EMS building, two of which are internal, including the medical room where drugs are stored. Two more doors were added at a sub-station location.
The Solution
The Board of Directors chose the infinias access control system from 3xLOGIC from three bids because it met the wide-ranging needs of the County EMS. The system was installed in late 2016 and manages a total of six doors at the main EMS building, two of which are internal, including the medical room where drugs are stored. Two more doors were added at a sub-station location. The infinias system manages access for up to 40 employees, contractors who do radio and computer maintenance, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Temporary access is also granted to hospital staff who use the facility for training. Five different sub-groups were created among all employees and visitors, providing each group with the access privileges needed to do their jobs, while ensuring only a few individuals have access to all doors and areas.

Case Study
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.
