The Challenge

DJO Global developed the MotionMD software solution that automates DME claims management, inventory dispensing and physician protocols, which in turn helps optimize productivity and improve patient outcomes with point-of-care technology. The company’s technologies also help providers improve billing accuracy and ensure timely collection of reimbursements. For both physician practices and hospitals, integrating patient data across systems has historically been a challenge, requiring complex processes, significant manual labor, painstaking repetitive data entry and piles of error-prone paperwork. With the widespread adoption of billing and revenue management software modules, electronic medical records (EMRs) and practice management systems, healthcare organizations have seen the need for data integration solutions to deliver the right information at the right time, while adhering to HIPAA security regulations.

About The Customer
DJO Global, Inc. is a medical device company that produces a variety of orthopedic products for rehabilitation, pain management and physical therapy which has about 1,300 employees.
The Solution

To solve the data sharing problem for its customers, DJO Global implemented Dell Boomi AtomSphere integration platform as a service. AtomSphere powers DJO Integrator — a DJO Global interface that shares patient demographic data from client EMR systems with MotionMD, which, in turn, is updated as soon as the DME and treatment plan is prescribed for a patient. When data is integrated using DJO Integrator, MotionMD gives healthcare providers a complete view of the patient record from the EMR. This simplifies diagnosis-driven protocols, dispensing and billing so that the physician can prescribe the most appropriate treatment. Regardless of the data format the systems use — whether patient data is published using HL7 publication standards, flat files, database pulls or APIs — DJO Integrator, powered by Dell Boomi, ensures that it all works together. The small footprint of the Boomi Atom — a runtime engine that signals when data is ready for retrieval by different applications — was instrumental in the decision to select Dell Boomi. It is easy to install and manage, and DJO Global customers like the ability to control access to patient data when it is needed to ensure that data remains secure.

Operational Impact
  • [Data Management - Data Accuracy]
    Sharing data allows clinics to streamline their office processes significantly, eliminating redundancy while reducing errors, and lowering costs by improving efficiency.
  • [Data Management - Data Collection]
    First-pass collections have improved significantly now that patient data is consistent and billing codes are accurately applied.
  • [Data Management - Data Integration]
    Integrating patient data from the EMR into MotionMD helped DJO realize a material improvement in both speed of transactions as well as improved financial results at clinics.

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.
