关于客户
Sibley Heart Center Cardiology is one of the largest pediatric cardiology practices in the U.S. The practice manages its own finances and claims data for its 18 locations with staff privileges at 40 hospitals throughout Georgia. Sibley’s 40 physicians see more than 30,000 patients annually. The practice’s patient management system houses records for more than 250,000 patients dating back to 1990. Prior to the implementation of QlikView, the practice was considering hiring an additional full-time person to handle reporting requests for its leadership team due to the limitations of its existing systems.
挑战
Sibley Heart Center Cardiology, one of the largest pediatric cardiology practices in the U.S., was facing challenges in managing and analyzing its vast database of patient records. The practice was considering hiring an additional full-time person to handle reporting requests for its leadership team. Standard end-of-month reporting took a few days, while ad hoc requests from senior management and physicians took up to a week or more to fulfill. The reports and hard-coded structure of Sibley’s systems couldn’t deliver basic analysis. A person would have to make several queries, which alone would take hours to generate, export data to Microsoft Excel and “reverse engineer” an answer. This limitation led to a situation where Sibley staff would not ask many questions due to the difficulty in obtaining data.
解决方案
Sibley Heart Center Cardiology implemented QlikView to overcome its data management and analysis challenges. The entire patient database, containing up to 8 million lines of data, was downloaded into QlikView in 10 minutes and a pilot application was developed in one day. The solution enabled Sibley to analyze 20 years of statistical data on patient diagnoses and treatments to benchmark best practices for improved patient outcomes. The practice gained unprecedented visibility into operational data for practice management and financial data for payor reimbursements, insurer contracts, and physician compensation, helping to control costs. The implementation of QlikView eliminated the need for hiring a full-time person for analysis and reporting.

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.
