Keep pace with the increasing complexity of data Data is all around us in the web we surf, the phones we carry, the machines we operate, and the cars we drive. Of all the world s data, 90% has been created in just the past two years. Every year from now, that data is going to double. And it s not just an increase in volume, but also a change in data types like multimedia data or generally unstructured data. A whole lot of data today is going to be a whole lot more and more complex data tomorrow. Turn Big Data into a big competitive advantage Hospitals are at a tipping point. Perhaps you ve embraced the promise of Big Data. Maybe you ve already invested in capturing the information. Whether it s Big Data or just more complex data, what can you actually do with it? What does it mean? What can you learn from it? How can it help you improve how you deliver care? To make your investment in Big Data pay off, you need to harness your data in an intelligent way so you can use it as a basis for making better, faster decisions and even self-learning decisions that can inform future actions.

Control costs and deliver high-levels of care Delivering high-levels of patient care means always having the right inventory in the right location. Infor Inventory Intelligence for Healthcare gives healthcare organizations like yours the data and tools you need to use science-driven replenishment parameters. That way you ensure that your supply levels are always where they need to be. Optimize your inventory needs Infor Inventory Intelligence for Healthcare incorporates algorithms that leverage your order and transaction history to actively and intelligently maintain the stock in your stockrooms. Healthcare organizations like yours will minimize stockouts and have needed items on hand, while increasing your bottom-line savings by reducing overstocked items. Patient care is at the center of the hospital, care team, and supply chain's goals. When you don t have the supplies you need, not only are you making it difficult for your clinicians and other supply chain professionals to do their jobs, but you re putting patient care at risk. To prevent this, Infor Inventory Intelligence for Healthcare can help you to anticipate stock outs, thereby helping you to avoid unnecessary patient risks. Better inventory control also means more cost savings. Infor Inventory Intelligence for Healthcare can help you to reduce overstocking, which often leads to an increase in carrying costs, as well as increased risk of loss, damages, and expiration. Not to mention wasting excess storage space on non-critical inventory. Hospitals tend to overstock, so this kind of data-driven inventory optimization can mean reduced inventory holdings and lower on-hand units. When you are under-stocked, however, Infor Inventory Intelligence for Healthcare will increase your inventory to reduce stock outs, thus leading to a higher average of on-hand units but fewer stock outs. With Infor Inventory Intelligence for Healthcare, you can routinely update your parameters, which means your inventory levels are adjusted over time in response to recent changes in data and new trends. Additionally, Infor Inventory Intelligence for Healthcare incorporates rules in order to ensure these changes will make sense to your inventory coordinators without disrupting your caregivers.
