关于客户
Named to U.S. News and World Report’s top pediatric hospitals for 2009, Children’s Medical Center of Dallas is one of the largest pediatric healthcare providers in the nation. The 6,000 employees that work there strive to make life better for the patients they see during more than 360,000 visits each year. With an organization of its size and the dynamics inherent in a young workforce, one of the top challenges is ensuring accuracy in HR processes and compensation pay-outs.
挑战
The human resources department at the Children’s Medical Center of Dallas processes close to 500 leave requests per year. These requests have historically been manually processed by type of leave (Medical, Military, Pregnancy, etc...). Some of the challenges with this process include: Time Consuming, Manually Intensive: The FMLA process was very labor intensive (45 minutes per form), requiring the staff to select one of fifteen different letters based on the type of leave. Inconsistent Quality of Confidential Data: The HR staff had to type all of the employee’s benefit information into the appropriate letter, an extremely time-consuming and error-prone process when dealing with confidential employee data. Information Compensation Control: Each case was logged into an excel spreadsheet and manually tracked based on when the individual was expected to return to work. There was little control or accountability to ensure that employees returned from leave within set limits. Execution on a Per Case Basis: With such a manual process, errors were often made with employees being paid before their leave was complete or receiving erroneous benefits.
解决方案
Using the Ultimus Adaptive BPM suite, the HR staff pulls all of the benefit information onto the correct form automatically, reducing the risk of human error. The system retrieves the benefit information and selects the correct form based on the type of leave, ensuring that confidential employee information is handled appropriately. The work ques are updated daily so employees due to come back on a certain day are automatically flagged for the HR staff, thus allowing greater control over the entire process and reducing compensation errors. The implementation process for Ultimus’ BPM Suite was fast and efficient. The process was tested and ready to go live in less than five months, producing results quickly. A key to their success was the Ultimus e-Learning tool. With e-Learning, they were able to call up any customized learning module from their own desktop and review it based on their own specific needs, an option not available within a traditional classroom training environment. Additionally, this resource allowed them to run self-sufficiently, ultimately reducing training costs.

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.
