关于客户
United States Transportation Command (US TRANSCOM) under the Department of Defense (DoD) uses business intelligence (BI) technology from Information Builders to devise optimal patient-movement plans based on urgent medical needs, available facilities, in-transit visibility, and enterprisewide cost and performance analytics. It’s all part of TRAC2ES, a WebFOCUS-based system that helps sick or injured personnel reach the optimal destination via the most expeditious method of transport. TRAC2ES, an acronym for the TRANSCOM Regulating and Command and Control (C2) Evacuation System, supports patient movement from the battlefield, to definitive care, and, when necessary, to rehabilitative care in hospitals such as Walter Reed. The system also tracks and coordinates patient information throughout the U.S. military’s worldwide network of healthcare facilities.
挑战
US TRANSCOM was operating with two legacy systems that were not integrated. The transport and treatment of wounded and sick soldiers was often met with errors and delays. Missteps during Operation Desert Storm highlighted the need for improved coordination of medical care for injured soldiers. In some cases, soldiers wounded in that conflict were directed to the wrong hospital or ended up in facilities that didn’t provide the correct specialties and treatments. The patient-movement process needed to be much more efficient, which led to the implementation of TRAC2ES.
解决方案
Under the direction of project managers from Booz Allen Hamilton, Information Builders Professional Services worked with the TRANSCOM team to develop a BI system that was easy to use and would easily integrate with existing IT products. Using Information Builders WebFOCUS BI technology accessing an Oracle database, the team developed a decision-support, reporting, and analysis tool to coordinate patient movement on a global basis. Information Builders WebFOCUS BI platform supplies standard, custom, and ad hoc reporting capabilities that are flexible enough for average users to manipulate and understand. A guided ad hoc reporting environment makes it easier for users to select report dimensions, calculations, measures, and other variables. End users can select a drill-down path via simple links in standard Web browser displays.

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.
