About The Customer
North Bend Medical Center (NBMC) is a medical cooperative based in Coos Bay, Oregon. The center operates five clinic locations and employs 50 physicians, along with over 160 managers and staff. NBMC offers a wide range of specialties, including acupuncture, hematology, oncology, pediatrics, obstetrics, and general surgery. The center was using a manual, spreadsheet-based system to track HR and payroll data for its employees, which was proving to be inefficient and unable to meet the company's needs.
The Challenge
North Bend Medical Center (NBMC) was struggling with a manual, spreadsheet-based system to track HR and payroll data for its employees. The system was inefficient and could not tie HR and payroll data together, making it difficult to keep up with the ever-changing employee information. The management team often had to wait for information such as the number of sick days an employee had left or how much they had contributed to their 401(k) plan. The company urgently needed a better system to process these requests in a timely and accurate manner.
The Solution
NBMC decided to implement Sage 300, a system that would provide seamless information flow between their HR and payroll functions. Since NBMC was already using the Sage 300 General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivables modules, they added the U.S. Payroll module and its EFT Direct Payroll add-in program. The implementation was completed in just three days, and the results were immediate. Using the software’s built-in import tool, NBMC was able to import all of its HR data and have the data automatically populate the Sage 300 Payroll module with the applicable payroll data. The multilevel security features within Sage 300 ensure that confidential employee information is accessible only to authorized personnel.

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.
