关于客户
As the state of Minnesota’s major healthcare provider, Allina Health operates a system made up of 11 hospitals, more than 75 clinics, 15 community pharmacies, 5,000 physicians, 4 ambulatory care centers and more than 23,000 employees. In 2009, Allina implemented Excellian One Patient, One Record across all their facilities – one of America’s most comprehensive electronic medical record systems. One Patient One Record makes important medical information about each patient easily accessible to front-line caregivers on an extensive fleet of laptop and tablet computers.
挑战
In a demonstration of technology adoption, Allina is rapidly increasing the number of laptops and tablets they provide to nurses, physicians and other mobile employees to allow for better patient care. However, with the move towards portable computers, Allina’s IT team experienced a sharp increase in laptop theft including one incident requiring public disclosure of breached health information. Allina sought a high-tech solution for laptop management and data breach protection.
解决方案
Two months after the data breach, and a review of available products, Allina began implementing Absolute on all of Allina’s laptops. IT staff has dramatically reduced laptop theft, recovered stolen computers and improved laptop auditing accuracy from 30% to more than 95%. With Absolute as a complement to Allina’s Utimaco encryption system, the provider is confident that it is delivering the highest level of protection for its devices and the sensitive health information stored on them. Absolute allows Allina to easily identify computers that have gone missing, enforce software policies and maintain a fleet of optimally running devices. Most importantly, they can remotely invoke preemptive or reactive security measures to safeguard each device and the data it contains.

Case Study
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.
