The Challenge

Lane Health, a healthcare lending company, was facing challenges with its HSA Advance applications. The applications were developed on a no-code platform, which limited their flexibility and posed ownership and maintenance challenges. The applications lacked a proper versioning system or database rollback mechanisms, making each new product release a risky endeavor. They also lacked tools for testing, logging, monitoring, alerting, and database migration and management. Lane Health wanted to improve the HSA Advance applications by making them more secure, scalable, flexible, reliable, and cost-efficient. They were looking for ways to quickly introduce a more advanced technology stack and infrastructure, and to migrate the applications to the AWS cloud. The team hoped to gain capabilities to innovate faster while achieving more stable releases, reducing the Total Cost of Ownership, and achieving HIPAA compliance to store PHI data. The product had to be launched in less than four months, requiring a reliable partner to get it all done.

About The Customer

Lane Health is a healthcare lending company that provides corporate employees with affordable options for paying for healthcare using pre-tax dollars. Through its unique HSA Advance program, employees in High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP) who often face financial pressures and obstacles can get an instant line of credit without credit checks, and enjoy predictable repayment terms with tax savings and zero costs to employers. Employers also enjoy savings through this program as they reduce their payroll tax obligations. The program can be managed via a set of dedicated HSA Advance applications for employees, employers, and administrators.

The Solution

Lane Health partnered with Provectus, an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, to migrate its applications to an enterprise-level technology stack and set up an underlying infrastructure on AWS. Provectus reviewed Lane Health’s implementation of the HSA Advance applications to better understand their business logic, external dependencies and data structures, and to assess their compliance level. They designed a reliable, highly available, and HIPAA-compliant AWS infrastructure, which includes a new data platform, CI/CD, logging, monitoring, alerting, and updates of other critical components of the application. The infrastructure met AWS requirements for security, performance, cost efficiency, and reliability. It featured CI/CD pipelines for automated testing; a centralized hub for logging, monitoring, and alerting; ETL pipelines for user enrollment and data quality verification; and microservices to support core business logic and third-party integrations, and to provide the frontend applications with corresponding APIs. Provectus ensured proper test coverage on each step of the migration, running a series of integration, functional, manual, and end-to-end tests to ensure applications are working as expected and are on par with legacy applications.

Operational Impact

  • The migration to AWS infrastructure by Provectus enabled Lane Health’s engineering team to develop cloud-native applications from scratch, without the limitations of no-code platforms. The new infrastructure introduced automated CI/CD pipelines, data quality verification pipelines, and required tooling for versioning, automated testing, logging, monitoring, and alerting. The enhancements also made it possible to roll out product updates in just one click. Despite the HSA Advance applications being built from scratch, Provectus ensured that their core business logic did not change as a result of migration, to ensure business continuity. The improvements made by the Provectus team make the HSA Advance applications more agile, flexible, scalable, and secure. Lane Health’s engineering team was able to take full ownership of the solution and achieve stable and regular releases. The changes have put Lane Health in a strong position to innovate and improve its healthcare lending solution faster and more efficiently while enjoying better data protection.

Quantitative Benefit

  • 60% Reduction in Total Cost of Ownership

  • HIPAA-compliant Cloud Infrastructure in 4 Months

  • Full Transparency and Ownership by the Dev Team

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.
