Established over six years ago, NSWHP provides services to New South Wales' forensic, criminal, environmental health, maritime units, and other local government bodies. Its highly specialized staff are driven by their purpose to create better health and justice systems and guided by its principles of having a caring, connecting, and pioneering spirit. The organization employees 5,000 people, operates more than 60 laboratories, 150 pathology collection services, and conducts more 100,000 clinical tests per day.
挑战
New South Wales Health Pathology (NSWHP) is an Australian statewide health organization that provides services to various local government bodies. The organization operates more than 60 laboratories, 150 pathology collection services, and conducts over 100,000 clinical tests per day. However, NSWHP's IT systems were siloed, making it difficult to deliver on key initiatives that would improve patient outcomes, maximize taxpayer benefits, and build a foundation for change. The organization sought to efficiently integrate data to deliver time-critical initiatives, including digitizing pathology results to speed up access to patient data and make clinical decisions faster, reducing cost and effort associated with transportation and testing, and building a foundation to rapidly respond to change and emerging, urgent demands, including COVID-19.
解决方案
To deliver key healthcare initiatives, NSWHP deployed MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform to supply its integration needs quickly. The initial project with MuleSoft sought to expand testing from laboratories to healthcare facilities so patients can get quality-endorsed results faster. NSWHP took an API-led approach and used MuleSoft to integrate 350 testing devices from its health facilities to systems across its 60 laboratories within three months. NSWHP's engineers and architects leveraged APIs as building blocks to securely connect Point of Care (POC) devices to electronic health record (EHR) systems, which contained each patient's pathology results. Now, every provider has a 360-degree view of their patients and can provide them the best possible care. Using MuleSoft's HL7 Connector, NSWHP can quickly and securely route HL7 messages between state and federal health platforms and its lab systems. This EHR integration is used to reliably transmit, map, and transform complicated clinical messages for millions of test results.

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.
