AT A GLANCE

Our client, Safety Healthcare, needed an efficient solution to track and manage medical equipment. Computools assisted by developing an intuitive application using RFID tags and barcodes, leading to optimised operational processes. This digital transformation resulted in improved clinical outcomes and more efficient healthcare operations.

THE CLIENT

The client is a trusted ally in the healthcare industry, providing high-tech solutions for safe and effective patient management. Specialising in identification and safety, the company is committed to improving the quality of care, enhancing clinical outcomes and enriching the patient experience.

The client’s platform focuses on meeting important patient safety standards, improving operational efficiency and financial stability. This makes it the preferred choice for leading and best-rated healthcare providers.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

The project aims to create an advanced application for efficiently tracking and managing medical equipment within healthcare facilities. The main objectives of the project were:

  • Connecting the underlying database to authentication and help desk services ensures the application is secure and running efficiently.
  • Implementing UltraDNS API, Google GEO & Time Zone, and Google Mail into the help desk, extending capabilities and providing more comprehensive functionality.
  • Developing test databases (Hospital1 and Hospital2) for deeper and more comprehensive testing and their integration with related services.
  • Integrating Firebase notification service into the hospital service for timely and efficient interaction with medical staff.
  • Implementing the ElasticSearch service into the hospital service to improve search functionality and provide quick access to information.
  • Conducting comprehensive testing of the developed application to ensure its reliable and efficient operation on web platforms and mobile devices.

SOLUTION SUMMARY

The scope of work, developed by our engineers, allowed us to speed up the development process, accurately control each stage and easily make changes as required. We developed an intuitive application utilising RFID tags and barcodes for real-time equipment tracking. This enhanced patient safety and significantly improved operational processes and financial stability. As a result of our solution, the client experienced a 56% boost in revenue and a 74% reduction in checkout time.

IMPACT

After completing the project, we keep in touch with the client to have the opportunity to monitor the app’s effectiveness and make edits and improvements if necessary.
We solved several vital issues:

  • Developed a user-friendly design
  • Added a convenient tracking system and intuitive search
  • Introduced a reliable data security system

PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY

The right choice of project methodology is a prerequisite for the quick execution of tasks, easier management and the earliest achievement of goals. For this project, Scrum was chosen. Scrum was originally formalised for software development projects but works well for any complex, innovative or new product development scope of work. The Scrum framework is deceptively simple. During sprint planning, the team pulls a small chunk from the top of the list with tasks in a sprint backlog and decides how to implement those pieces. The team has a certain amount of time, a sprint, to complete its work – usually two to four weeks – but meets each day to assess its progress (daily scrum). At the end of the sprint, the work should be shippable, ready to hand to a customer, put on a store shelf or shown to a stakeholder. The sprint ends with a sprint review and retrospective.
