关于客户
过去十年，医院网络经历了重大变化，既有患者的自然增长，也有战略性并购。每年有成千上万的医生、护士和工作人员为数十万住院、门诊和急诊室患者提供护理。该医院网络拥有十几家医院和一百家医疗机构，是该地区最大的网络之一，对社区的医疗保健至关重要。网络服务和临床应用是医疗保健 IT 人员的首要任务。任何妨碍这些服务或用于与它们交互的设备可用性或访问的因素都需要由其 IT 组织预防或补救。
挑战
近年来，医院网络中物联网 (IoT) 设备的使用量显著增加。随着 COVID-19 疫情的爆发，医院面临着众多网络安全威胁，包括需要保护的物联网设备的风险。医院的网络运营 (NetOps) 和安全运营 (SecOps) 团队需要共同努力，减少这些威胁并调查潜在的入侵事件，尤其是针对其大量分布式物联网设备缓存。医院已做出战略决策，将网络数据包流量标准化为数据智能的最佳来源，并选择了一种利用数据包数据的解决方案来保护其物联网设备。但是，他们需要在物联网安全工具和 NETSCOUT 服务保障解决方案之间共享数据的方法。
解决方案
医院组织选择了 NETSCOUT® nGeniusONE 服务保障解决方案来帮助维护其应用程序和服务的质量、可用性和可靠性。这些应用程序包括 Citrix 对 Epic 电子病历和其他临床应用程序的安全访问，以及 Microsoft Office 365 等业务应用程序。为了将来自网络段的流量数据包同时分发到新的 Armis IoT 安全解决方案和 NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG (ISNG) 设备，IT 组织选择了基于软件的 NETSCOUT nGenius 数据包流交换机 (PFS) 系列数据包代理，以提高性能管理和网络安全生态系统的价值和效率。NetOps 和 SecOps 团队强调了成本效益、高级功能和定制现货 (COTS) 功能，这是他们为经过认证的 5000 和 5100 系列数据包代理选择 nGenius 数据包流操作系统 (PFOS) 的原因。

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.
