Avada - Receives 2012 GWC Customer Recognition AwardBy The Global WebSphere Community Management Team Apr 26, 2012 3:56 PM CDT AVADA & VNSNY: As mobile devices became more prevalent in healthcare,
both the clinicians and the IT staff at the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY) began to think about the value of using mobile devices in their care of their patients. Being able to enter data into the system directly from a wireless device instead of logging onto a PC would expedite the data entry process and make the nurses much more efficient in their daily visits. The clinicians at VNSNY also began thinking about the benefits of using images in their patient care. Being able to capture and store images of a wound, or having access to x-rays, could be useful to the nurses when visiting patients. The issue was that the network in place simply wouldn’t support the level of data transfer required to send data and images from mobile devices. So the mission of the IT organization at VNSNY became developing a wireless network with high bandwidth and high reliability. VNSNY knew that building a reliable network was just as important as building a functional one. So to ensure its network functioned reliably and gain a deeper visibility into the message flow, VNSNY decided to implement a monitoring solution. After reviewing several vendors in the market, VNSNY selected Avada Software and implemented Avada’s Infrared360 messaging and monitoring solution. According to VNSNY, this WebSphere-approved solution proactively identifies issues that lead to lost or misrouted transactions and provides the monitoring and alerting capabilities that are required to ensure its messaging network is reliable and efficient. Today, all of the nurses at VNSNY carry tablet devices when visiting patients. An internally-developed application on the tablet device provides the nurses a very user-friendly, pen-based interface to collect and enter patient data such as medications, plan of care information, and even digital images. While the front-end user interface is very streamlined and easy to use, the technology working behind the scenes to facilitate the data collection and storage is very advanced. The tablets connect to the IBM AIX operating system allowing users to transfer data via FTP. When those files are sent they are put onto a specific directory which is monitored by a C++ program, and then put into a message queue. From there, WebSphere MQ then sends the messages in the queue to an IBM DB2 database for storage and classification. With the current network in place, the nurses at VNSNY are more efficient in delivering care to their patients and spend less time on administrative work and data entry. VNSNY reports that the recent move to a single sign-on for both the company’s intranet and the IBM AIX system has streamlined the submission of data even further and made it even easier for the nurses to do their jobs.

Infrared360 now enabled on IBM PureApplication™ SystemAvada and IBM work together to provide clients innovative technologies to break down the barriers to SOA by providing simple access to existing applications, services, and important data. Avada Software's flagship product, Infrared360, provides administration, monitoring, testing, statistical reporting, and auditing for enterprise middleware platforms. Now Infrared360 is enabled on IBM PureApplication™ System to fundamentally change the experience and economics of IT with built-in expertise, integration by design and a simplified experience. Recently, IBM announced a new class of expert integrated systems called IBM PureSystems. IBM PureSystems combine the flexibility of a general purpose system, elasticity of cloud and the simplicity of an appliance tuned to a workload -- fundamentally changing the experience and economics of IT. IBM PureApplication, an offering in IBM PureSystems, is a platform system designed and tuned specifically for transactional web and database applications. This workload-aware, flexible platform is designed to be easy to deploy, customize, safeguard and manage. With Infrared360 enabled on the PureApplication System, you receive a pre-integrated deployment pattern of the Infrared360 application, middleware and virtual system resources. These patterns delivers deployment times up to 20 to 30 times faster than on traditional systems. By automating key processes, PureApplication expertise can reduce the cost and time required to manage an infrastructure by as much as 35 - 55 percent. Built-in application optimization expertise can reduce the number of unplanned outages by as much as 90 percent or more through best practices and automation of the manual processes identified as outage culprits. Administrators use built-in application elasticity to scale up or to scale down automatically. They use data replication to help ensure high availability. With IBM, these systems can support up to 40 percent more transactions. Contact Avada Software For more information about Avada's Infrared360 application pattern on IBM PureApplication System.
