Customer Story_GE Healthcare_GFT-899_v4
ORs account for 35% of total hospital costs and 60% of revenue 1 . A recent study reported $11,700,000 in new revenue is needed to have the same impact as a $100,000 reduction in operating costs 2 . So, if hospital operating costs can be reduced without compromising patient care, this helps a hospital’s financial footing. GE is helping hospitals meet the constant challenge of providing high quality, efficient patient care that delivers optimal financial return. GE Healthcare has developed a secure health cloud platform—utilizing GE’s Automation & Controls’ Field Agent technology—designed to help hospitals reduce costs by improving OR efficiency.

Secure Health Cloud Leverages Hospital Data The secure health cloud platform integrates with clinical workflows while managing the volume, velocity, and variety of healthcare data through an integrated analytics and visualization engine. The platform stores, aggregates, enriches and sends data back to the customer for viewing. In a pilot program, GE Healthcare has teamed up with GE’s Automation & Controls to develop Carestation* Insights, an Industrial Internet solution which captures and leverage data from anesthesia machines in hospital ORs. Carestation Insights software applications turn machine data into insights that can be used to optimize operations, in this case the OR. The pilot program leverages GE’s anesthesia domain knowledge to create a solution that is simple, easy to install and maintain, secure, and scalable. As with any Industrial Internet solution, the key is the data. And hospitals, their processes, and their equipment produce an enormous amount of it. “So much device data at a hospital is thrown away,” says Jay Hanrahan, Product Manager at GE Healthcare. “Only a small amount is used for electronic medical records (EMR). We see an opportunity for hospitals to capture and leverage that data to improve their operations as well as patient outcomes.” Data privacy and security are key considerations for any medical data solution, so the secure health cloud is designed to securely transmit data and protect sensitive patient information. Privacy of data is paramount, so patients are “deidentified”and data is encrypted before it is sent to the cloud. up to 10 Machines WAN Predix Connectivity Predix Cloud CaaS Monitoring / Ops Service Provider APM, EQI “We see an opportunity for hospitals to capture and leverage that data to improve their operations as well as patient outcomes.” Cloud Connectivity Solutions Field Agent with Predix Machine Built In Networking Stack / WAN Connection Edge Applications (business/solution specific) Predix Machine / Net (UMF) Runtime (Java/OSGi) Standardized Data Aquisition Network RSTi EP I/O with Modbus TCP Jay Hanrahan, Product Manager, GE Healthcare OS (Linux, Windows & RTOS) LAN / PAN /FAN
