挑战
Community Memorial Health System, a not-for-profit healthcare provider, was struggling with managing a large amount of files and documents across its two hospitals and twelve family-practice health centers. The document control policies were hard to manage due to outdated policies and forms that needed archiving. The incident reporting system was also outdated, leading to low reporting rates as it was not user-friendly and was not available across their 12 clinics. The healthcare provider needed a modern system to manage policies and documents, streamline incident reporting across the business, and improve visibility across their multiple offices. They also required a solution that included training management to improve efficiencies and replace the paper-based process they were using.
关于客户
Community Memorial Health System is a not-for-profit healthcare provider that was established in 2005 after merging with Ojai Valley Community Hospital. Originally operating as a single hospital in early 1902, Community Memorial now comprises two hospitals and twelve family-practice health centers. The healthcare provider offers care and services for individuals throughout Ventura County. Like many medical institutions, Community Memorial tracks and manages a substantial amount of files and documents. However, they were facing challenges in managing their document control policies and were constantly dealing with outdated policies and forms that needed archiving. Their incident reporting system was also outdated, resulting in low reporting rates.
解决方案
Community Memorial reviewed a number of EHS management software providers before choosing Intelex. Intelex was favored due to its customizable capabilities, as well as extensive dashboard and reporting options. A main selling point for Community Memorial was how Intelex’s dashboards have the ability to track the stages of the incidents directly on the dashboard. This has allowed Community Memorial to easily manage the work of their supervisors and move the incidents through their system faster. Reporting has revealed trends Community Memorial didn’t even know they had prior to implementing Intelex.

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.
