关于客户
Colchester Hospital University NHS Trust (CHUFT) is an acute NHS Foundation dedicated to providing healthcare that consistently delivers an exceptional patient experience. The system of hospitals focuses on meeting the lifelong healthcare needs of the population by offering a full range of specialty care services, including technically advanced inpatient and outpatient care, 24-hour emergency care, oncology, pharmacy, and home and community services. The Trust provides healthcare services to over 370,000 people from Colchester and the surrounding area of North East Essex. CHUFT is committed to providing welcoming, kind, involving, responsive, professional and quality care to its patients. The Trust is nationally recognized for operational excellence in healthcare throughout the United Kingdom.
挑战
Colchester Hospital University NHS Trust (CHUFT) was struggling with managing big data and extracting valuable insights. The organization was dealing with over 2,000 reports per day and 140GB of data per week, which made timely and accurate reporting critical for their decision-making process. The existing system was limited in content, flexibility, and visibility across the organization. Reports were often out of date and reflected incorrect and inconsistent patient information. The hospital needed a solution to efficiently and accurately analyze data, particularly related to mortality rates and oncology treatment.
解决方案
In early 2011, CHUFT deployed QlikView, a leading provider of Business Discovery – user-driven BI – to tackle the hospital’s big data concerns. QlikView helped transform CHUFT’s analytics almost instantly, with the Trust rolling out new dashboards to improve patient care each month. The suite of applications which were developed included business-critical dashboards for functions like cancer patient wait times, patient arrivals and departures, mortality rates, and readmissions. The QlikView applications have helped to identify inaccuracies in clinical coding and patient care. CHUFT has been able to see where patients are admitted, their diagnosis, as well as what procedures they’ve had and the outcome of those procedures. Physicians can use that information to decide on the most appropriate and safest path of care, equipped with a host of background information. Further, the applications trigger alerts when patients fall outside of their key pathway milestones allowing for early intervention and management.

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.
