About The Customer
Discovery Institute is a New Jersey-based addiction treatment center that has been providing top-notch care to their local community for the past 53 years. The center offers both inpatient and outpatient care and has a growing roster of clients. The center is committed to using innovative technology and software to enhance their services and was voted Newsweek’s America’s Best Addiction Treatment Center award two years in a row. Despite being located in New Jersey, the center has a hybrid workforce with contact center staff living across the country.
The Challenge
Discovery Institute, a New Jersey-based addiction treatment center, was struggling with their existing call tracking solution. The lack of reliable reporting and scalability was hindering their ability to provide high-quality service to their growing client base. The center was dealing with thousands of calls each month, all of which needed to be manually directed to the right departments. This was not only time-consuming but also resulted in missed opportunities to connect with prospective patients and their families. Additionally, the center was facing challenges in dealing with callers who were too anxious to complete a call, intoxicated, in a crisis situation, reluctant to start treatment, or unable to take phone calls. The center also struggled with providing a consistent experience due to insufficient context about the patient's recovery process.
The Solution
Discovery Institute adopted CallTrackingMetrics (CTM) to address these challenges. CTM's call routing feature allowed every call to be filtered through the contact center, where the representative could gather necessary information and quickly route the caller to the correct department. CTM's Smart Dialer was used to initiate a callback to any missed call number within two minutes, and if unanswered, all relevant details were synced into their Salesforce instance for a follow-up task. Text messaging was also used to communicate with patients when phone calls were not an option. To address the issue of insufficient context, CTM's call recording and transcription feature was used to record after-hour calls and email the transcription to the patient's counselor. To accommodate their hybrid staff, every staff member at Discovery Institute was made an Agent in CTM, allowing them to receive forwarded calls directly.

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.
