挑战
As software slowly moved from enabling client’s lab operations to impacting lab research outcomes, it formed the basis of their labs competitive difference. Additionally, the client needed unhindered control/ access to the research data they own. Buying a packaged application (COTS) wasn’t the best way forward since vendor customization for packaged applications are expensive and they are commercially available even for client’s competitors to use (no competitive difference). They needed a custom application without the development delays and high costs that come alongside.
关于客户
Our client is a health information company and one of the latest genetic testing labs in North America. They are a spin off from Mt Sinai Hospitals, and have a team of research scientists, doctors, bioinformaticians and lab specialists who work on genome based diagnostics. The client builds predictive models for complex diseases through the analysis of genomic and patient health data.
解决方案
WaveMaker helped modernize the legacy FoxPro based Lab Information Management software (LIS) called Medgis to a modern Java/Angular application. Low code methodology enabled the client to choose modernization over buying existing licensed software which would have restricted access to their data. As the client grows to be a software company, the importance of data and its accessibility was paramount. This data will be used for analysis and other intelligent operations which will create greater value for the client. Medgis is the backbone which contains all the lab, patient and integration data. With the modernization efforts, LIS transformed to a web-based software equipped with Google API integrations, cloud based development, data encryption, interface engine integration, HL7/FHIR integration and HIPPA compliance. The modernized system had to handle the migration of all the old data (millions of patients and tests) with zero loss and duplication, improved data quality etc.. where WaveMaker services provided the expertise. The client needed a data lake which aggregates patients’ genetic and EHR data. Using this they can run machine learning models that correlate patient demographics, health history, and genomic variance. To achieve this, Wavemaker helped the client build two separate platforms: Central Get Data Platform, which is responsible for integrating external EHR systems, building a database of patient health records and exposing them as a unified API to query and access data. Oncology Suite – A suite of tools and a dashboard application which integrates different bioinformatics pipelines related to DNA testing, sequencing, and variance computation. WaveMaker was used to automate almost every step in the life cycle of the DNA test. This reduced the turnaround time for a DNA test from three days to a couple of hours.

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.
