关于客户
客户是一家领先的医疗供应商，经历了持续增长，收入逐年增加。该公司最近通过战略收购扩大了其产品组合、服务交付能力和市场覆盖范围。该供应商运营着一个全国性的分销网络，其区域设施旨在确保快速履行需要这些高度专业化且经常至关重要的产品的客户的在线订单。该供应商的一项战略收购导致其公司与前竞争对手合并，随后成为这些合并业务的母公司。
挑战
该医疗供应商最近与前竞争对手合并，在整合两家公司的实时监控环境方面面临挑战。两家公司都在使用 NETSCOUT 服务保证和智能可视性解决方案，但配置和使用情况差异很大。该供应商新收购的分销设施之一依靠旧式 InfiniStream 来生成数据包捕获 (PCAP) 导出，用于事件后取证分析活动。但是，该设备并未部署在解决方案架构中，无法被动监控主动式 nGeniusONE 监控所需的大量南北网络流量，也无法提供跨服务器、网络、数据中心和云/虚拟服务边缘的可视性。当在部署此旧式 InfiniStream 设备的位置发生分销中断时，这就会成为问题。
解决方案
该供应商与其 NETSCOUT 业务合作伙伴合作，重新设计了他们的服务保证和智能可视性解决方案。新解决方案包括 nGeniusONE 服务器设备，可提供增强的处理、内存容量和统一通信 (UC) 分析支持。NETSCOUT 认证的 InfiniStreamNG (ISNG) 软件设备支持 40GB 网络速度，用于生成在整个企业环境中实现持续和统一可视性所需的 NETSCOUT 智能数据。nGenius PFOS for Certified 5000 系列数据包流交换机设备支持 40GB 网络速度，同时优化了从供应商网络到 ISNG 设备和下游第三方安全工具的数据包流。IT 领导层决定通过部署 vSTREAM 虚拟设备来确保分销地点的 IT 环境面向未来，这些设备可提供对云和虚拟环境的智能可视性。

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.
