关于客户
Sumner Mental Health Center (SMHC) is a healthcare provider that offers a variety of mental health services to the Wellington, Kansas community. Their mission is to provide high-quality behavioral healthcare and addiction services that are cost effective and reflect the values of their consumers and community. The organization has over 60 employees and was facing challenges in managing their policies due to their loose leaf approach. They needed a solution that would help them manage their policies more effectively and ensure compliance with HIPAA requirements.
挑战
Sumner Mental Health Center (SMHC) was facing challenges in managing their policies due to their loose leaf approach. The employees had to physically search for the binder that held the policy they needed. Once the binder was found, it was often difficult to determine if the policy was up to date and accurate. It also took management significant time to find, review, and approve new policy documents. The organization needed to move HIPAA policies from binders and desk tops to an electronic management system that allowed access to all employees, barred outdated policies from being used and prevented current policies from getting lost while continuing to comply with HIPAA requirements.
解决方案
To make its policy documents manageable and increase HIPAA accountability, SMHC moved its policies and procedures to PolicyTech policy management software. PolicyTech stores all of the policies and procedures in a central database that is accessible from any internet connection. The software also creates reports that record who has read what documents and who hasn’t read them. It also ensures that only the most recent version of each document is published to readers. SMHC administrators benefit from the convenience of PolicyTech’s searchable document retrieval, as well as the time it saves them both in managing policies and in the review and approval process. SMHC also utilizes PolicyTech’s quiz feature to test each employee’s knowledge and bolster their HIPAA compliance efforts.

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.
