挑战
由于缺乏可视性,无法完全识别需要移动的所有应用程序及其依赖项,医疗保健组织在过渡到 Cisco ACI 环境时面临延迟。多个不完整且脱节的现有工具造成的复杂性和低效率进一步加剧了这一问题,使团队难以进行共同的测量、流程和报告。团队决定他们需要重新审视他们的网络监控系统并升级到最新技术,以满足他们当前的需求并为未来的增强做好准备。他们计划从拥有小型 VMware 集群的远程医院实施高质量的网络和应用程序监控,并部署新的 VoIP 系统。这带来了另一个挑战;确保他们要实施的任何解决方案都能满足所有 IT 团队的需求,即 Citrix、语音、数据库、服务器、帮助台等。
关于客户
客户是一家大型区域性医疗保健组织,近年来通过有机增长和收购发展壮大。该组织目前通过一个综合医疗系统支持超过 10,000 名员工为其社区服务,该系统包括多家医院和外科中心以及 70 多个其他类型的护理机构。该组织的 IT 团队制定了雄心勃勃的目标,以支持组织的发展并为未来的数字化转型和技术增强做好准备。这些目标包括:过渡到以应用程序为中心的基础设施 (ACI)、引入新应用程序、更新现有应用程序服务,并在必要时增加带宽以满足该医疗保健组织服务的员工和患者不断增长的需求。
解决方案
整个 IT 团队都参与制定服务保障要求和供应商评估,最终一致认为 NETSCOUT 服务保障平台是满足其整个企业需求的正确解决方案。与现有工具或添加更多多点解决方案不同,NETSCOUT 被证明是获得他们前进所需的可见性和可扩展性的最佳方法。由于医疗机构的大部分电子病历 (EMR) 数据都通过 Citrix,因此最初的重点是优化 Citrix 及其生态系统的性能。借助 nGeniusONE 和由 Adaptive Service Intelligence™ (ASI) 技术支持的 InfiniStreamNG,他们获得了对集成的、支持 Citrix 的应用程序环境性能的端到端可见性。他们在远程医院部署了 NETSCOUT vSTREAMS,以充分利用 ASI 的强大功能,从这些站点提供经济高效、无处不在的可见性。在准备新的 VoIP 系统时,语音团队计划的第一步是实施 nGenius 统一通信收集器,以优化新服务的推出并最大限度地减少对通话质量的负面影响。

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.
