关于客户
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is home to the world-famous Addenbrooke’s Hospital and has been named one the United Kingdom’s top 40 hospitals. The U.K. Healthcare Commission has rated the trust for providing excellent quality of services and excellent use of resources, and as ‘best performing’ for maternity services. The trust is home to the world famous Addenbrooke’s Hospital, one of the top 40 hospitals in the U.K., and employs more than 7,000 staff.
挑战
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, one of the largest and best known hospital Trusts in the UK, was facing challenging times due to budget constraints. The trust needed to find efficiency savings of three to four per cent a year through increased productivity and better management information. They wanted a web-based business intelligence tool that could capture all the information a manager would need to know in one place. The trust decided to start by making patient level costing available across the organisation but also needed to include its Oracle financial systems, HR metrics, and above all patient information for example lengths of stay in the hospital and waiting time in the emergency department.
解决方案
In reviewing healthcare management solutions the trust was introduced to QlikView— a powerful analysis tool capable of extracting and analysing data from any number of sources in seconds. QlikView analyses other domains aside from patient level costing: patient care and safety, clinical excellence, valuing staff and finance. With complete transparency across every area of the business, some 1,000 users can make informed decisions based on detailed, reliable and relevant information that can result in thousands and even millions of pounds in savings helping to meet the trust’s efficiency targets.

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.
