关于客户
Texas Health Huguley Hospital is located in Ft. Worth and is a member of the Adventist Health System. The Adventist Health System has 46 hospital campuses and more than 8,300 licensed beds in 10 states. The facilities of the Adventist Health System serve more than 4.7 million patients annually. Hospitals are complex operations with life and death situations playing out on a constant basis. Ensuring security for staff and patients, newborns, and emergency room patients is a significant challenge. In addition to day-to-day security concerns, hospitals have heavy regulations in meeting HIPAA requirements to protect patient information and privacy.
挑战
Texas Health Huguley Hospital, part of the Adventist Health System, was facing a significant challenge in managing security for its complex operations. The hospital was dealing with life and death situations on a daily basis, and ensuring the security of staff, patients, newborns, and emergency room patients was a massive task. In addition to the day-to-day security concerns, the hospital also had to comply with heavy regulations in meeting HIPAA requirements to protect patient information and privacy. The hospital had experience with other access control systems, but found them to be highly proprietary. They wanted an open system that they could have better control over, and could work more closely with their integrator during installation and programming.
解决方案
The hospital decided to install the 3xLOGIC infinias access control system throughout their campus. Currently, about 75 doors are under management and the hospital forecasts a total of 170 doors will be covered upon full deployment. The system can be run to any location, whether networked or not. This flexibility allows the hospital to extend the system to a building a couple of miles away, ensuring that their badges work in both locations. After completing 3xLOGIC certification training, the hospital's Safety and Security Manager and Head Locksmith are now able to better manage the installation and programming for the system, saving substantial time and money.

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.
