关于客户
Quintiles Transnational is a leading global pharmaceutical services organization that helps improve healthcare worldwide by providing a broad range of professional services, information, and partnering solutions to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare industries. Headquartered near Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, and with offices in more than 40 countries, Quintiles is a member of the Fortune 1000. The company's competitive edge lies in its ability to leverage data, therapeutic expertise, and global resources through an integrated information technology network. Quintiles manages all phases of clinical trials for organizations seeking to gain FDA approval for their new products. Due to the high volume of information needed for clinical trials, no one collects and manages more data worldwide than Quintiles.
挑战
Quintiles Transnational, a leading global pharmaceutical services organization, manages over 13,000 end-user computers. The company wanted to remove the local administrative privileges from all end-user accounts and run a Least Privilege user environment. This would help Quintiles achieve compliance with the FDA’s Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations, increase security, and better protect client and patient data. However, with administrative privileges removed, end-users would no longer be able to run dozens of critical third-party, off-the-shelf software, as well as many in-house developed applications. End-users would also no longer be able to install local printers or any software on their own. No workaround that they had identified would allow applications that required administrator privileges to run, and writing custom install scripts or frequently visiting individual desktops to install software was not a secure or productive solution.
解决方案
With Windows Active Directory installed and 13,000 end-users running Windows XP, BeyondTrust PowerBroker for Desktops was the perfect solution to the issues facing Quintiles. Security, compliance, and productivity were at the forefront of Quintiles needs, and running BeyondTrust PowerBroker for Desktops would enable them to create a Least Privilege environment while increasing their end user productivity. Quintiles Transnational has now deployed BeyondTrust PowerBroker for Desktops on over 13,000 computers. It has met or exceeded all of Quintiles requirements and enabled end-users to access all required applications while running in a Least Privilege user environment. Quintiles Transnational uses BeyondTrust PowerBroker for Desktops to elevate the permission level for the users who need to run authorized third-party and homegrown applications that require higher privileges than those to which the user is normally entitled. This eliminates the need to raise each user’s privilege levels for all applications or to require that the restricted user be provided with a local administrator password to perform the tasks.

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.
