About The Customer
Pediatric Home Service (PHS) is a healthcare provider specializing in home-based care for children, aiming to allow them to thrive at home with their families rather than in hospitals. The organization operates 24/7, with nurses providing round-the-clock diagnostic monitoring using Google Chromebooks to log health data into electronic medical records. PHS' headquarters houses all their application servers, database servers, and Citrix environment. The organization is conscious of evolving cloud technologies and seeks to leverage these to enhance their operations and ensure total data protection. PHS is a mid-sized company that values business continuity and data protection, making them a forward-thinking and proactive entity in the healthcare sector.
The Challenge
Pediatric Home Service (PHS) needed a managed service provider (MSP) to support their 24/7 IT infrastructure, ensuring continuous uptime and data protection for their home-based healthcare services. The nurses at PHS rely on Google Chromebooks to chart health data into electronic medical records, which are stored on PHS' custom-built software. The headquarters houses all application servers, database servers, and their Citrix environment. Rick Mueller, head of IT services at PHS, sought an MSP that could protect all their data, both cloud and local, at all times. Additionally, PHS required a solution to streamline the process of managing data when employees departed, which was previously time-consuming and cumbersome.
The Solution
Invenio IT, a managed service provider, offered a comprehensive solution to PHS by providing 24/7 support and implementing Datto's Backupify and SIRIS 2 products. Datto Backupify, a cloud-to-cloud backup and recovery solution, safeguards all of PHS' Google Apps data, including electronic medical records. Datto SIRIS 2 protects PHS' internal servers, ensuring that all data, whether in the cloud or on local servers, is continuously protected. This setup allows PHS to maintain uninterrupted service and data integrity, even in the event of a disaster. Additionally, Backupify's restore feature has streamlined the process of managing data when employees leave, allowing for quick and efficient data transfer to other team members, thus improving internal operations and reducing administrative burdens.

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.
