关于客户
Meander Medical Centre is an award-winning healthcare institution located in Amersfoort, Netherlands. The hospital is designed to encourage a connection with natural surroundings throughout the campus and offers only private rooms, creating a healing environment where patients can gain more rest, leading to a quicker recovery. The hospital moved into its new facility in 2013, which was designed with a state-of-the-art information communications technology (ICT) infrastructure. The hospital relies heavily on suppliers to provide the latest healthcare technologies that help them serve their patients. They have approximately 80 suppliers who need access to their network.
挑战
Meander Medical Centre, an award-winning healthcare institution in the Netherlands, moved into a new facility in 2013. The new facility was designed with a state-of-the-art information communications technology (ICT) infrastructure. The hospital's IT team needed to provide secure access to the hospital's IT network for its extensive medical equipment and application suppliers. These suppliers needed access to maintain and support their solutions and track and report on results. The hospital had approximately 80 suppliers who needed access to their network, making it critical to provide access in a way that complies with government regulations concerning healthcare information security. Setting up virtual private network (VPN) connections for each of the suppliers was an unattractive option due to the high skill level required, the maintenance costs, and the inability to audit what was happening during remote sessions.
解决方案
After conducting research on possible solutions, the hospital chose Bomgar's Embassy solution. This solution enables the hospital to create safe and controllable multi-platform access for its vendors. Suppliers now have secure remote access to the hospital's network to perform maintenance on their equipment, and the hospital has an audit trail stored behind its firewall so it can see what actions are taken during remote sessions. Bomgar Embassy allows the hospital to control granularly who has access to specific systems and when they have access. With Bomgar’s concurrent license model, there is no limitation to the number of vendors that can be granted remote access or the number of servers and systems that receive support. The hospital has blocked the use of all other remote support tools, making the use of Bomgar mandatory in its environment and part of its IT purchase conditions.

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.
