Helpdesk Management
• BHS has been through several Helpdesk vendors, and staff have a fragmented knowledge of the various tools
• The current tool does not provide easy reporting for users or management
• Users need to be logged in to see their tickets• Licensing is per concurrent user so some users
hoard a license to see their information

Helpdesk Management
• Turned a poorly setup helpdesk system into a dynamic system capable of allowing managers and employees to extract trusted statistics
• Supported Helpdesk LEAN initiative by providing timely analysis
• Augmented license shortage by allowing users to have a portal based dashboard listing ticket assignments

Infection Control
• Hospitals are under a state mandate to report infection statistics
• The current reporting methodology is designed for a non-electronic facility
• The current methodology expects a daily survey of all patient beds
• Impractical for a larger facility with electronic documentation
April 22, 2023
Infection Control
• Created a datamart that captures every patient with a specific device insertion
• Crossed this data by day and hour• Allowed the Infection Control team to find the
highest and lowest utilization by hour of the day across multiple years
• Used this data to then choose the best hour of the day, and run daily reports for regulators
