关于客户
The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma is the third largest Native American tribe in the United States, with more than 200,000 members worldwide. The Nation spans more than ten counties and employs over 6,000 members in various sectors including gaming, defense contracting, housing, hospitals and clinics, community centers, manufacturing, and consulting. As a fully functioning government, Choctaw serves a variety of services such as healthcare, education, emergency services, and public safety. The Nation's rich history dates back hundreds of years, but the combination of rapid business growth and expansive government services inherent in its structure have made timely and informed decision-making increasingly difficult to achieve.
挑战
The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, the third largest Native American tribe in the country, was facing challenges with timely and informed decision-making due to rapid business growth and expansive government services. During a previous data migration from a SunGard IFAS system to a J.D. Edwards financial system, a lot of important information had been intentionally left behind. As support for the legacy platform underlying the SunGard system became harder to come by, the IT department had to find a stable alternative to keep the data accessible for the foreseeable future. The initial objective with its new BI solution was to facilitate better reporting for the finance team.
解决方案
The Choctaw Nation’s IT team developed a business intelligence (BI) and information management solution with the help of Information Builders. They used WebFOCUS for J.D. Edwards, a set of tools that provides all the power and functionality of the standard WebFOCUS BI platform but is optimized for J.D. Edwards applications. The Information Builders team demonstrated how easy it is to generate complex reports from J.D. Edwards and many other data sources, and then visualize the results in HTML, Adobe PDF, XML, spreadsheets, and other formats. The team converted the data trapped in their previous enterprise resource planning (ERP) system into a Microsoft SQL Server database, using WebFOCUS to recover the reports that they deemed most necessary. The new reporting environment provides direct access to information that financial analysts found difficult to access before.

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.
