关于客户
堪萨斯城儿童仁慈医院是一家领先的儿童医院，拥有世界上第一家儿科全基因组测序中心。在该医院的儿科基因组医学中心，医生与临床实验室科学家、分子遗传学家、生物信息学家和软件工程师合作对罕见遗传疾病进行测序和分析。2012 年，《时代》杂志将该中心的快速基因组图谱测试 STAT-Seq 评为年度顶级医学突破，因为它可以在两天内从头到尾解码基因组，而这个过程通常需要六周或更长时间。该中心致力于开发下一代医疗治疗的临床测试，以改善儿童仁慈医院和世界各地患者的治疗效果。
挑战
堪萨斯城儿童仁慈医院是一家领先的儿童医院，它运营着世界上第一个儿科全基因组测序中心。该医院的儿科基因组医学中心与各种专业人员合作，对罕见遗传疾病进行测序和分析。然而，基因测序是非常计算密集型和数据密集型的，这给中心的 IT 团队带来了越来越大的压力，需要提供充足的处理能力和高性能的数据存储，以支持基于全基因组测序和全外显子组测序的测试。该中心之前部署了 EMC Isilon 存储，最初满足了他们处理临床和研究工作流程的存储需求。然而，随着时间的推移，儿童仁慈医院传统的横向扩展 NAS 存储缺乏性能和容量的可扩展性，无法满足苛刻的数据创建和访问需求。
解决方案
儿童仁慈医院部署了具有 1PB 横向扩展存储的 DDN GS7K®，以满足性能、并行 I/O 和容量要求。DDN 的 GRIDScaler® 平台将业界领先的性能和密度存储与基于 IBM® Spectrum Scale™ 的并行文件系统相结合，非常适合支持该中心的全方位临床和研究工作流程。DDN 无缝地提供了高性能和协作环境的完整端到端数据管理。DDN 的 GS7K 还为儿童仁慈医院提供了理想的外形尺寸，在其小型数据中心空间内提供高密度存储，并能够以简单的方式扩展容量。该中心还在探索扩展其 DDN 存储的机会，以巩固其在儿科转化研究领域的领导地位。

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.
