关于客户
Houston Healthcare, located in Houston County, Georgia, has been serving the community since the 1950s. It started as a 50-bed community hospital and has grown into a world-class healthcare system comprising seven separate entities, serving over 300,000 people annually. The organization operates two fully accredited acute care medical facilities with a combined capacity of 282 beds. Houston Healthcare is committed to improving the health of its surrounding communities by providing patient-focused, high-quality, and cost-effective services while promoting health and wellness. The healthcare provider is dedicated to enhancing the quality of care and operational efficiency through innovative solutions and technology.
挑战
Houston Healthcare faced significant challenges with its existing PC-based infrastructure, which was inefficient and time-consuming for physicians. The average login time for personal computers ranged from 45 seconds to 1.5 minutes, causing physicians to spend approximately 20 minutes each day just logging in and out of machines. This inefficiency was compounded by the inability to use newly purchased iOS devices during the transition to the Meditech EMR system, creating additional problems. The healthcare provider had previously attempted to implement VDI in 2008 but faced numerous issues, leading to the removal of the system. To successfully deploy a new VDI solution, Houston Healthcare needed a better storage, server, and networking infrastructure.
解决方案
Houston Healthcare chose the Nutanix Xtreme Computing Platform to address its IT challenges. The platform converges compute, networking, and storage, simplifying infrastructure deployment and administration. The healthcare provider conducted a short proof of concept (POC) with Nutanix, which demonstrated fast deployment and ease of use. The Nutanix solution enabled quick logins for physicians, significantly improving productivity. Houston Healthcare purchased seven Nutanix 3050 systems, which converged all compute, storage, and networking into a single box, eliminating the need for separate components and reducing costs. The deployment of virtual desktops allowed physicians to access patient information from various mobile devices, enhancing convenience and efficiency.

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.
