关于客户
Alder Hey 儿童医院是一家位于英国的医疗机构,为年轻患者提供医疗服务。该医院以致力于为患者及其家属营造温馨、轻松的环境而闻名。作为其创新医疗保健方法的一部分,Alder Hey 与科学技术设施委员会 (STFC) Hartree 中心合作,利用 IBM Watson 技术。此次合作的目的是加强临床医生、年轻患者及其家属之间的沟通和互动。该医院还热衷于利用技术从匿名患者数据中挖掘见解,以改善其护理服务。
挑战
无论是常规检查还是大型手术,去医院对年轻患者来说都是一件令人生畏的事情。Alder Hey 儿童医院希望利用技术来减少患者对医院体验的焦虑。医院在建造新设施时考虑到了这一点,并注意保持建筑和装饰的明亮和异想天开。但该组织希望做的不仅仅是让设施温馨宜人 - 它还希望让患者及其家属在整个医院体验中都压力更小。医院旨在通过为年轻患者提供针对其需求的信息,将意外降至最低。
解决方案
Alder Hey 与 STFC Hartree 中心合作,利用 IBM Watson 技术加强临床医生、年轻患者及其家人之间的沟通和互动。该技术分析患者提供的匿名数据,以发现医院可以用来改善患者护理方式的见解。Alder Hey 和 STFC Hartree 中心的团队一直在向数百名患者及其父母询问一系列问题,问题涉及从基本人口统计数据到他们喜欢在哪里停车、他们喜欢吃什么、他们喜欢哪些游戏和电影,以及他们希望自己的房间是什么样子。所有这些非结构化数据都在帮助 IBM Watson 平台了解每个患者的偏好,从而使临床医生能够个性化患者的住院治疗。IBM Watson 平台将提供认知分析,提供见解,使医院能够 - 从本质上 - 思考、感知和感受医院内部正在发生的事情。

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.
