关于客户
Enclara Pharmacia is a national full-service mail order and Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) supplier of medications and clinical services developed specifically for the hospice and palliative care industry. It was formed through the merger of Enclara Health and Hospice Pharmacia. The goal of the merger was two-fold: to minimize the cost of palliative care drugs for end-of-life patients, and to cure some of the clinical, financial, and regulatory challenges uniquely faced by the hospice sector. Following the merger, Enclara’s leadership team made data a major focal point of the organization going forward. As the largest and oldest hospice pharmacy provider in the U.S., Enclara Pharmacia has learned an important lesson: the faster a hospice can gain insights from its pharmacy transactions, the more effectively it can identify opportunities to reduce costs and improve the patient experience.
挑战
Enclara Pharmacia, a Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) for the hospice and palliative care industry, was formed with the goal of minimizing the cost of palliative care drugs for end-of-life patients and addressing the clinical, financial, and regulatory challenges faced by the hospice sector. One of the major challenges was the lack of real-time data on medication costs and utilization trends. Hospice executives needed this data to manage their expenses effectively. The old reporting platform used by Enclara Pharmacia produced static reports that didn't allow hospices to analyze or visualize their data. This lack of transparency and flexibility was a significant issue. Furthermore, pharmacy expenses are one of the largest material cost drivers for hospices, making it crucial to align expenditures with a high standard of care.
解决方案
Enclara Pharmacia used Information Builders’ WebFOCUS business intelligence (BI) and analytics platform to create Enclarity, a customer-facing analytic environment for their hospice clients. Enclarity is an interactive dashboard and reporting environment that delivers hospice analytics, such as utilization and prescription patterns. Authorized hospice personnel can view their own pharma and business data, on a 24/7 schedule dictated by the moment-to-moment needs of a palliative care setting. The dashboard contains a knowledge base that allows hospice facilities to make determinations for themselves. Authorized users can see at a glance how many of the drugs used in a patient’s regimen are outside the standard family of drugs included in the PBM’s hospice pricing structure. They can recommend alternative formulary drugs that can be effectively used. They can drill immediately into the relevant data, and make informed decisions about how to fine-tune the drug therapy.

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.
