About The Customer
Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori (INT) is the center for international excellence in research, treatment and prevention of oncological diseases. Established in 1928, INT engages in biomedical research, the training and qualification of human resources, innovation in organization, and the management of health services. The institute is the largest center for pediatric oncology in Italy and the second largest in Europe. It has a workforce of 1,700 users who need to be protected from security threats, especially when browsing on the move. The institute has been relying on Forcepoint security solutions since 2010.
The Challenge
Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori (INT) was spending a large majority of its time completing security-related tasks manually. It also required flexible protection against all risks and malicious software. These are classic security issues for both private and public companies, and these issues will always need to be approached by management in the most innovative way. For INT, threat protection is an essential aspect of that challenge. Bellazzi mentioned “browsing on the move” as his security platform requirement. At its core, this is protecting a mobile workforce on all endpoints. Mobile employees are going to leave the on-premises network at some point. Knowing that, it is crucial for any company to keep its same protocols unified across all endpoints, on-premises or remote.
The Solution
The Forcepoint solution, because of its great capacity for categorization of content, sites and domains, was the ideal platform for solving all problems in real-time and in a single console. After the selection process between vendors and solutions, the choice for INT was to take advantage of the Forcepoint’s Web Security Gateway [TRITON AP-Web]. This solution was chosen for its ability to protect a mobile workforce on all endpoints, ensuring that the same protocols are unified across all endpoints, whether on-premises or remote.

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.
