关于客户
CareCore National 是一家成立于 1994 年的专业福利管理公司。该公司提供定制计划，以改善诊断成像的使用并提高患者护理的质量。它还提供管理心脏和肿瘤护理的解决方案，以及睡眠呼吸暂停、肌肉骨骼疼痛管理和实验室服务计划。CareCore 为美国的健康计划提供服务，目前管理着影响 3000 多万人的治疗。CareCore 的主要目标之一是快速响应以满足客户需求。多年来，该公司的核心开发应用程序不断发展，以满足这些不断变化的需求。
挑战
CareCore National 是一家专业福利管理公司，其软件开发流程面临挑战。该公司采用的是被动的、以项目为中心的方法，无法提供满足客户需求所需的速度和响应能力。开发应用程序之间缺乏集成，阻碍了整体速度。该公司使用 Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) 软件跟踪需求和工作项目。然而，许多利益相关者仍在使用电子邮件或其他方法提交需求，因此很难全面了解所需的所有需求。因此，该公司 70% 的软件缺陷都归因于需求开发不佳。该公司希望彻底改革其流程，从以项目为中心的方法转变为更具战略性的方法。
解决方案
CareCore National 决定实施 IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation、IBM Rational Focal Point 和 IBM Rational Team Concert 软件，将这些应用程序与其现有的 IBM Rational Quality Manager 软件集成。该公司使用 Rational Focal Point 软件创建项目并将必要的组件分发给其他 Rational 应用程序。利益相关者将电子表格、图表和文本文档中的信息放入需求软件中，而不必担心对信息进行优先级排序。然后，软件架构师使用该软件来分析信息并创建需求。开发人员根据工件集构建工作项，并将工作项分配给适当的工作人员。当开发人员执行分配的任务时，他们使用 Rational Team Concert 软件来跟踪进度并验证他们是否满足通过 Rational DOORS Next Generation 软件建立的需求。然后，质量保证 (QA) 人员使用相同的需求来构建测试用例和计划。

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.
