The Challenge

Patient cost savings are attributed to the fact that GDI is not owned by a hospital network. To drive superior quality of service and patient care, in 2017 GDI embarked on an enterprisewide ‘data-driven initiative’. GDI sought to set a financial and operational course to leverage consumption and usage of analytics for its biomedical engineering teams with machine data analytics to achieve true predictive maintenance on the imaging machines as well as drive superior patient care through deep analysis of its physician referral networks.

The Customer

Gateway Diagnostic Imaging (GDI)

About The Customer

Gateway Diagnostic Imaging is an outpatient medical imaging company with several locations in the Dallas / Fort Worth area.

Gateway Diagnostic Imaging saves patients hundreds of dollars while offering fantastic service and impeccable quality! specialize in MRI, CT, Ultrasound, and X-ray

The Solution

Asset Utilization Dashboard. Clinsights provided their service engineers with real-time utilization data across the entire fleet of imaging equipment by facility manufacturer type, procedure count, and exam type. As a result, load balancing operational decisions became effective by identifying the facilities and machines that are under or overutilized.

Referral Physician Dashboard. Clinsights provided a real-time referral physician dashboard that is drillable to find which physicians are dropping out, and which ones are entering new – over time, by the facility, and exam type.

Machine Uptime Dashboard. Clinsights provided the single pane of glass for multi-modality, multi-manufacturer views allowing clinical engineering groups to shift unplanned downtimes to planned maintenance windows, thereby saving valuable hours per machine for increased revenues and providing better patient care.

Operational Impact

[Financial Growth - Revenue]
With the Glassbeam solution, GDI was able to see the direct impact by realizing higher throughput per facility thereby enhancing patient care and increasing revenues.

Quantitative Benefit

Clinsights provided Gateway Diagnostic Imaging (GDI) the analytics platform to gain 70-80 hours of productive (revenue generating) time per machine per year by turning unplanned machine downtimes and avoiding a potential loss of $70-80K per machine per year.

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.

IoT Based Health Monitoring System

The primary challenge was to monitor the progress of the plans adopted by the patients. In most cases, the patient will start with a plan and give up in the middle. It is important to motivate them to continue through the plan.

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.
