关于客户
Essex Meadows is a continuing care community managed by Life Care Services, offering comprehensive short-and long-term skilled nursing care through its 45-bed Health Care Center. The community is dedicated to providing residents with a lifestyle of freedom, dignity, independence, and security, while ensuring the highest level of service and care. Services range from assistance with daily activities to intensive rehabilitation programs. The staff at Essex Meadows has developed strong relationships with residents, understanding their individual preferences and needs, which is crucial for maintaining high-quality care.
挑战
Essex Meadows faced significant challenges with scheduling inefficiencies and increasing reliance on staffing agencies. Schedulers spent extensive time manually creating and updating schedules, leading to confusion among staff and frequent call-offs. The company spent over $100,000 annually on staffing agencies to fill gaps, which raised concerns about the impact on resident care. The use of outside staff disrupted the strong relationships between residents and regular staff, potentially affecting the quality of care.
解决方案
To address these challenges, Essex Meadows implemented OnShift staff scheduling and shift management software. OnShift provided an easy-to-use platform that allowed schedulers to create and manage schedules efficiently. The software's web-based templates automated the assignment of employees to shifts, making schedules highly visible and reducing confusion. OnShift also facilitated quick communication during emergency staffing situations, automatically identifying and contacting qualified employees via their preferred communication method. This streamlined process significantly reduced the time required to fill call-offs and ensured that shifts were filled by Essex Meadows staff, eliminating the need for outside agencies.

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.
