About The Customer
HealthSnap provides a leading-edge remote health services platform, bringing care teams together with the power of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Health for efficient proactive patient care, improved outcomes, and increased revenue for care providers. Due to the sensitivity of health data on the platform, HealthSnap focuses on leading-edge security practices and frameworks (HITRUST) to maintain provider and patient trust. The company is based in the United States and operates on a national scale.
The Challenge
HealthSnap, a provider of a remote health services platform, was facing challenges in automating data security in the context of HITRUST. The company needed a constant pulse on its infrastructure and the data therein, including both asset inventories and infrastructure diagrams. This required regular, manual work to prove to regulators, partners, and patients that they knew what data they had, where it was, and that it was protected. The company also needed to put proper security controls in place and show how they were enforcing them. The speed of change for both the cloud infrastructure and the data was fast, making it difficult to satisfy these requirements. The company was also concerned about overworking its team and was looking for ways to quickly and effectively scale their throughput with automation.
The Solution
HealthSnap implemented Open Raven's automated discovery, mapping, data classification, and data policy monitoring. Open Raven provided an up-to-date 3D map of all of HealthSnap's assets in the cloud, allowing them to see all the different regions where they had assets and easily explore for more detail. Open Raven also provided automated data policy monitoring, alerting HealthSnap about resources not encrypted at rest and other security issues. The built-in policies meant that HealthSnap had to spend very little time creating or modifying their own. When they received alerts, the information they got made the work of assessing and prioritizing each alert for action very fast.

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.
