关于客户
St. Joseph's Health Centre, also known as St. Joe's Toronto, is a community teaching hospital founded in 1921 by the Sisters of St. Joseph. The centre is home to one of the busiest emergency departments and birthing centres in Ontario, with more than 101,000 visits and 3,275 babies per year. St. Joe's vision is to advance the health of the city's west end by being Canada's best community teaching health centre to over 1,000 students and medical trainees each year. The three strategic priorities of the centre are to create seamless transitions of care, deliver an exceptional experience, and shape care through teaching and education.
挑战
St. Joseph's Health Centre, a community teaching hospital, has a complex layout with multiple wings that face construction at various times. Visitors often find it difficult to navigate the hospital due to the lack of distinguishing features and landmarks. Existing wayfinding tools such as static maps, signs, and directories have been rated unsatisfactory by visitors. The only effective wayfinding aid has been volunteers, but there are not enough to keep up with the demand. Mappedin, a company that has created a best-in-class indoor mapping platform, recognized that its product, which was tailored to the retail environment, needed to be adapted and optimized for the healthcare industry.
解决方案
Mappedin worked closely with St. Joe's to co-design a product that would meet the unique needs of the healthcare industry. They created a Digital Directory and Web experience with software uniquely suited to the healthcare industry. Kiosks will be placed at the main points of entry in the hospitals, allowing visitors to self-serve and freeing up valuable volunteer time. The new search functionality on the healthcare platform allows users to enter any of the information they have - the name of the doctor they're seeing, the department they need, or the procedure they are having - and be routed to the proper registration desk. The colouring of locations and size of text labels has been adapted for tiny but important locations on the map. In the healthcare directory experience, accessibility mode is automatically on, providing accessible routes that utilize elevators and ramps over stairs.

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.
