Premium Technologies, Inc. builds Customized Asset Management Solution for UCLA Healthcare.
Premium
Technologies, Inc. develops an Asset Management system for UCLA
Healthcare Materials’ Management Department which would identify and
track the transfer and acquisition of medical equipment for their new
hospitals.
Premium Technologies designed and developed Procure-IT™ - a customized software solution.
There were unique data tracking requirements and major
challenges to the IT professional in this environment which could not be
overcome or satisfied by an "off-the-shelf software package." The items
had descriptions and characteristics unique to the health industry.
The computer software matched items from the existing hospital with equipment needs in the new hospitals.
Additionally, the system tracked purchasing,
financial, vendor, acquisition, logistics, installation, scheduling and
tracking information.
Although the system was designed for the UCLA Healthcare
Materials’ Management department, the data became valuable to many other
departments. The finance area now had visibility of past and future
expenditures of medical equipment. Logistics was able to identify
vendors and notify them of deliveries and warehousing. Each hospital
department was able to identify the equipment that would be migrating
from the old hospital, as well as newly purchased equipment installed in
their new facility. They also had clear visibility of the overall
timing and scheduling of installation. Entities outside of the
department could view extracts of the data. This helped them facilitate
their operations.
Procure-IT™ is based on standard, open technologies such as
MS-SQL Server, Oracle and PL/SQL; it is exceptionally easy to integrate
with other in-house and external systems. It is technically easy to keep
other systems in sync with various data changes.
IT professionals know how difficult it is to use a single
package system to meet the broad-based needs of everyone in an
organization with the same level of performance and ease of use. It is
virtually impossible for a software package to present and mine such
unique data providing the same flexibility, openness and integration
with other technologies.
Keeping Procure-IT™ open and making it easy to 'plug and
play' gives maximum flexibility for both interaction with legacy
applications and assurance that the system can continue to grow as
requirements change.
