About The Customer
AdventHealth is a faith-based, non-profit health care system headquartered in Altamonte Springs, Florida, that operates facilities within nine states across the United States. It is a large organization with a diverse user base, from C-suite executives, directors, managers, to frontline team members. The organization is committed to providing safer patient care and fewer errors through the integration of technology into their workflows. The organization's purpose is to provide for their patients, and they believe that sometimes, the best way to provide for patients is to take care of those taking care of the patients.
The Challenge
AdventHealth, a healthcare organization, was looking for ways to integrate technology more deeply into the workflows of their frontline workers. They wanted to provide a tool that would help streamline workflows and increase the quality of work life for their clinical team. The challenge was to provide a tool that would be useful from an operational standpoint, providing near-real-time dashboards to give the nursing team and leadership the opportunity for action, not reaction. The goal was to develop a comprehensive tool for all levels of team members, from frontline nurses to the chief nursing officer, that could be used operationally to make actionable decisions to impact both patient outcomes and ensure good stewardship.
The Solution
AdventHealth used Qlik to develop real-time operational dashboards. The dashboards were designed to provide a comprehensive tool for all levels of team members, from frontline nurses to the chief nursing officer. The dashboards were developed to bridge the gaps by providing a comprehensive tool for all levels of team members. The dashboards are used operationally to make actionable decisions to impact both patient outcomes and ensure good stewardship. The dashboards have a diverse user base: everyone from C-suite executives, down through directors, managers, and to our frontline team members. By the end of 2019, these dashboards accounted for more than 70% of all AdventHealth's Qlik sessions and were being used at almost all our hospitals across the county, as well as by our regional and corporate leadership.

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.
