关于客户
Halifax Health is the largest healthcare provider in Volusia and Flagler counties. The community includes 678 licensed beds and more than 500 physicians on its medical staff. The organization serves a large population and is committed to providing knowledgeable care to its patients. Halifax Health recently made a significant investment in the Meditech Data Repository (DR) to improve operational reporting and chose Information Builders’ WebFOCUS for enterprise business intelligence (BI). The organization was looking for a solution that could leverage clinical and administrative data in Meditech, TeletTracking, eSignature, Kronos, and Allscripts applications. The goal was to empower the enterprise to access, analyze, and share information.
挑战
Halifax Health, the largest healthcare provider in Volusia and Flagler counties, was facing challenges with its legacy reporting tools which were designed for professional analysts. The organization needed a general-purpose BI environment that could empower the enterprise to access, analyze, and share information. The existing tools, McKesson’s Trendstar and Meditech NPR report writer, required staffing by highly-experienced IT personnel for in-house development. The organization wanted to leverage clinical and administrative data in Meditech, TeletTracking, eSignature, Kronos, and Allscripts applications. They also wanted end-user dashboards that could display key performance indicators (KPIs) for inpatient quality, patient safety, core measures, and financial measures. Ideally, the solution would also support drill-down capabilities, mobile computing, offline analysis, self-service reporting, report scheduling, and intelligent report distribution.
解决方案
Halifax Health decided to invest in the Meditech Data Repository (DR) to improve operational reporting and chose Information Builders’ WebFOCUS for enterprise business intelligence (BI). The IT professionals at Halifax considered BI solutions from Microsoft, Oracle, IBM/Cognos, SAP BusinessObjects, MicroStrategy, and Dimensional Insight before selecting Information Builders’ intelligence and integrity solutions. The decision support team favored the Information Builders’ product set for its broad capabilities and ease-of-use. They used WebFOCUS and InfoAssist to develop self-service dashboards, reports, and InfoApps for clinicians and administrators. To create a single source of truth for enterprise reporting, Halifax purchased Meditech DR as a staging area for clinical and administrative data. Data loaded from DR into a SQL Server data warehouse was structured for operational and financial reporting. IT also created function-specific data marts for various clinical and financial domains. Decision support personnel dubbed the new BI environment Business Related Actionable Information Network (BRAIN).

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.
