关于客户
昆士兰医学研究所 (QIMR) 于 1945 年由昆士兰州政府建立,是澳大利亚最大、最成功的医学研究机构之一。它因其研究质量而得到全世界的认可。 QIMR 拥有 700 多名科学家、学生和支持人员,拥有 50 多个独立实验室,支持六个研究部门:生物学、细胞和分子生物学、遗传学和计算生物学、免疫学、人口健康和联合项目。其研究人员研究了一系列疾病的遗传和环境影响,包括癌症、哮喘、艾滋病毒、疟疾、子宫内膜异位症和登革热。
挑战
昆士兰医学研究所 (QIMR) 是澳大利亚最大、最成功的医学研究机构之一,在向数百名科学家、学生和支持人员提供共享高性能计算 (HPC) 资源方面面临着重大挑战。该研究所拥有 50 多个独立实验室,支持六个研究部门,需要先进的设施来支持科学家的尖端项目并吸引最优秀的研究人员。为了满足这一需求,建立了一个 HPC 集群,作为服务在 QIMR 的科学实验室之间共享。然而,管理作业调度和优化此共享资源的吞吐量是一项复杂的任务,需要可靠的工作负载管理系统。
解决方案
2010年底,QIMR采购了许多戴尔多核服务器和存储,以促进共享HPC集群的发展。该集群由 Dell PowerEdge R815 服务器和 Dell PowerEdge R710 服务器的组合组成。在评估了工作负载管理系统的多个商业和开源选项后,QIMR 选择了 Altair 的 PBS Works。 PBS Works 是一套用于管理 HPC 工作负载的作业调度、按需计算和分析产品。其旗舰产品 PBS Professional 是 HPC 工作负载管理和作业调度领域评价最高的可用产品之一。 2011 年,该团队安装了 PBS Professional 并开始吸引用户使用。 2012 年,他们将 HPC 集群迁移到一个新的专用数据中心,该数据中心提供了更大的扩展潜力、增强的操作环境和更具弹性的电源管理。

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.
