The board members and doctors in the medical giant recognized the pressing need for better medication compliance and safety within their healthcare facilities. With a vast dataset of over 20 million patient records, our client wanted to eliminate medication errors(to an extent) and harmful drug reactions in any treatment. With this, they presented several objectives and challenges to the table:
Primary Objectives:
Challenges to be taken care of:
Inefficient Data Management
The client struggled with inefficient data management and lacked a streamlined process for extracting, transforming, and loading data(patient records) into their existing analytics system.
Lack of Real-time Alerts
The absence of real-time alerts and recommendations for alternative medications made it difficult for the stakeholders to rectify treatment-related issues promptly.
High Medication-Related Risks
The use of high-risk drugs within the healthcare setting increased the complications among patients.
After reviewing the objectives and challenges, our analytics experts identified the need to develop a medication oversight system. This system aimed to manage medications effectively, optimize data processes for better analytics, establish real-time alerts, and manage high-risk drugs within the healthcare IT sector.
The implementation of these technologically advanced solutions led to significant improvements in over 10+ hospitals, the results were valid and visible:
Better Medication Safety
The alerting system significantly reduced the usage of illegal and contraindicated medications by 25%, ensuring patient safety and well-being.
Enhanced Decision Support
After implementing the live alert systems in place, involved stakeholders now had access to evidence-based recommendations, ensuring better-informed decisions regarding medication management.
Improved Medication Compliance
Healthcare providers can now track patient medication compliance in real-time, leading to a 20% increase in better outcomes and fewer complications and casualties among high-risk patients.
Efficient Data Management
The ETL process and Redshift data warehousing streamlined data management, making it 30% easier to access and analyze critical medical information.
Cost Savings
By reducing medication errors and adverse events, the client saved substantial costs, estimating a 15% decrease in expenses associated with potential lawsuits, treatment of complications, and prolonged patient stays.
