关于客户
The National Health Service (NHS) is a publicly funded healthcare system in England. It serves more than 60 million people while employing 1.5 million with a budget of €115 billion. The North West NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub (NWCPH) is a part of the NHS that manages procurement across 38 separate Trust sponsor bodies, handling more than €1.5 billion in annual spend. The Hub is tasked with consolidating data from multiple financial and purchasing systems across these bodies and turning it into useful management information. The Hub's goal is to reduce procurement costs and improve efficiency across the NHS.
挑战
The North West NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub (NWCPH) was faced with the challenge of achieving a standard approach to collate and consolidate data from multiple financial and purchasing systems and turn it into useful management information. The Hub needed to automatically pull together, format and present financial data from many applications throughout its 38 separate Trust sponsor bodies managing more than €1.5 billion in annual spend. Previously, all financial data was handled manually. The process was undertaken annually for the primary reports for the North West Collaboration Hub, and on an ad-hoc basis by the Hub’s category managers when they needed any specific information. At best, this all took several weeks, and by the time all the data was in, it was usually out of date.
解决方案
The North West NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub (NWCPH) deployed QlikView to 70 users across hub category managers and Trust body stakeholders in less than 12 weeks. With QlikView, NWCPH is now able to monitor benefits, spend and cost analysis, supplier and purchaser performance and category management – all focused on reducing procurement costs. With QlikView Server (64-bit) and Publisher, NWCPH easily aggregates and manages the data volume across the systems within the Hub and its network of Trust bodies. Since implementation, the Hub has been rolling out the data feeds to and from the Trusts and developing the application to include additional data analysis and giving access to both Hub employees and Trust employees as well. With QlikView, both the Hub and individual Trusts can see the same information, and the flexible drill down functionality allows complete interrogation of the data.

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.
