关于客户
TELUS Health Solutions is a leading electronic healthcare solutions provider in Canada. The company handles millions of healthcare transactions each year and manages more than 4 million drug cards, covering 8.5 million Canadians. Many of its solutions are based on webMethods technology. TELUS ranked #1 in Branham’s Top 10 List of Healthcare IT Companies in Canada in 2007 and 2008, and was named 2008 Health Company of the Year by the Information Technology Association of Canada. The company is helping lead the change in Canadian healthcare through innovative and proven information communication technology.
挑战
As Canada’s leading electronic healthcare solutions provider, TELUS wanted to create the nation’s most comprehensive Electronic Health Records (EHR) system. The system would give clinicians immediate and secure Web-based access to patient e-health records at any time. Canada is investing billions of dollars to build an Electronic Health Records (EHR) system that will enable healthcare providers, coast to coast, to access and update any Canadian’s health record electronically and securely. By 2016, the plan is for every Canadian to have an e-health record, containing a variety of medical documents, from doctor’s notes and diagnostic images to prescriptions and test results. TELUS Health Solutions is helping Canada “get there faster” by delivering a Health Information Access Layer (HIAL) solution that aligns with the Canada Health Infoway Blueprint and will enable every provider in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador to access DIS data. This is among the first provincial DIS systems in Canada.
解决方案
TELUS built on its many-year investment in the webMethods technology to deliver its first provincial Drug Information System (DIS) for Newfoundland and Labrador. The solution leverages the webMethods product suite for integration, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) governance, portals, Business Process Management (BPM) and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM). The system built on the webMethods technology from Software AG gives healthcare providers immediate access to EHRs at the point of care, updates EHRs in real-time, 24/7, integrating data from many sources, improves collaboration between providers for the best possible patient care, facilitates new ways to share information that will lead to better business processes to improve patient care, and helps healthcare providers work more efficiently, leading to lower costs and shorter wait times.

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.

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.
