About The Customer
The Habilitation and Assistive Technology Services within the Swedish healthcare organization Region Skåne helps treat people with permanent disabilities with exercise and assistive technology that enable participation in everyday life. The services are based on the principle that all people are equal regardless of age, gender, disability and ethnic or religious background. Citizens with a permanent disability should be able to participate in activities to the same extent as other citizens. The services are based on each patient’s expressed needs. These needs for support change in nature and extent throughout a person’s lifetime.
The Challenge
Region Skåne Habilitation and Assistive Technology Services, a group within healthcare organization Region Skåne, was facing several challenges. They needed to coordinate six different operational systems, improve the presentation of analysis in a visually engaging format, and reduce manual data collection and analysis. The services they provide are based on the principle that all people are equal regardless of age, gender, disability, and ethnic or religious background. They help treat people with permanent disabilities with exercise and assistive technology to enable participation in everyday life. The services are based on each patient’s expressed needs, which change in nature and extent throughout a person’s lifetime.
The Solution
Region Skåne Habilitation and Assistive Technology Services deployed QlikView to 50 employees across 3 functional areas. With QlikView, the organization analyzes applications for client administration, staff scheduling, patient records, and financials – all focused on improving operational efficiencies and performance. The booking system for sign language interpreters is used when hearing impaired patients make a doctor’s appointment. QlikView makes it easier for the staff to match the right interpreter with the right patient based on their interpreting style, location and schedules. For the managers at Region Skåne, it also means better tools to follow up and optimize the need for interpreters. In the end, these optimized resources mean significant savings.

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.
