About The Customer
Dräger is an international leader in the fields of medical and safety technology. Their products protect, support and save lives. Founded in 1889, Dräger generated revenues of over EUR 3,4 billion in 2020. The Dräger Group is currently present in over 190 countries and has more than 15,600 employees worldwide. They manufacture and service equipment for operating rooms, neonatal intensive care units, miners, and firefighters. Their products range from surgical lighting to patient monitors to anesthesia machines, proper ventilation, heating and jaundice treatments for developmental care and infection prevention in newborns, safety equipment for miners and breathing apparatus for firefighters.
The Challenge
Dräger, an international leader in the fields of medical and safety technology, was facing challenges with its outdated Outlook Offline app. The app, which was no longer supported by Microsoft, had long synchronization times, frustrating operations teams and field service technicians trying to view, manage and coordinate service schedules and parts requirements. If field service technicians cannot efficiently manage their day-to-day work, repairs and maintenance for the hospitals, fire stations and other customers who use their products could be delayed. To provide their customers with world-class service, Dräger wanted a faster, more reliable and feature-rich mobile app to provide offline capabilities to their field service force.
The Solution
Dräger selected Resco Field Service 2.0 and tailored it directly to their own Dynamics 365 field service solution to help streamline field service processes. They worked with Avanade’s Digital Innovation Studios to develop a user interface (UI) design that would personalize the user experience and collect insights to maximize engagement. Co-creation teams of service key users and experienced field service technicians from all over the world were formed to follow the progress of development and control the direction. Avanade helped Dräger upgrade its customer relationship management (CRM) platform to Microsoft Dynamics 365. This cloud-enabled business application provides built-in intelligence to monitor and track equipment data, such as time in use and average pressure. The final phase was to replace Outlook Offline with Resco Field Service 2.0 and connect it directly to the Dynamics 365 system to help streamline field service processes.

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.
