关于客户
Cardiac Surgery Associates (CSA) is a medical practice consisting of surgeons committed to excellence in cardiac, thoracic, and peripheral vascular surgery. CSA serves the western suburbs of Illinois, the Quad cities in Iowa, Indianapolis, and Indiana, and unites a wide range of medical experts to meet the unique clinical needs of each patient. The organization outsources its IT functions and has a small staff. CSA's technology infrastructure is comprised of numerous disparate data sources that lacked integration. For example, a Paylocity payroll application, a Peachtree system for accounting, a GE Centricity database managed by Conifer for collections, and a legacy billing data warehouse managed by Practice Analytics.
挑战
Cardiac Surgery Associates (CSA) was facing a challenge with its siloed environment comprised of diverse systems which made it difficult to generate reports about the state of its medical business. As the number of patients grew, the ability to deliver accurate information to stakeholders became crucial to providing elite service. Business administrators were forced to spend countless hours compiling information from various sources, then manually enter it into Microsoft Excel for further analysis. CSA’s technology infrastructure is comprised of numerous disparate data sources that lacked integration. This setup presented many obstacles when it came to combining data for the purposes of reporting and analysis.
解决方案
CSA deployed the WebFOCUS business intelligence (BI) and analytics platform from Information Builders to build a guided self-service physician portal that surgeons and business administrators can quickly and easily leverage on their own. WebFOCUS brings together critical information from many sources, and delivers it to more than 50 in-house and external stakeholders. Users can monitor everything from collections, cost centers, and payroll, to relative value units (RVUs), a common way to measure surgeon productivity. CSA deployed an SQL Server running four instances of Windows Server. The server also handled development and production environments of WebFOCUS. AppStudio and InfoAssist are being used to create a variety of standardized reports, dashboards, and InfoApps, which retrieve and consolidate data from the various back-end systems and make it accessible to stakeholders in an intuitive way.

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.
