What big data in
healthcare looks like?
Healthcare is probably one of the most
data-intensive industries out there.
Basically, there are four main sources
generating all of the following healthcare data:
•
medical care providers
•
public and private payers
•
ancillary service providers,
from pharmacies to laboratories
•
healthcare consumers
The challenge is not just in storage and
access, but in making this data usable.
Quick and reliable decision-making is key.
Having the right data available at a
glance can help provide a solution to
make the most out of your data in combination with seamless connectivity.
Imagine the opportunities: every day,
hundreds of thousands of users carry
out countless examinations with
Siemens imaging devices around the
world. We enable these users, their
data and experience to get connected
to a virtual imaging team – probably
the largest in the world.
16,000
hospitals worldwide collect data
on patients
80%
of health data is unstructured and
stored in hundreds of forms such
as lab results, images, and medical
transcripts
If big data was used effectively,
the U.S. healthcare sector could
save every year1
300 – 450
billion
Let’s create
the imaging
world team
teamplay is a network that brings
together healthcare professionals and
patients in order to advance medicine
and human health in a team effort. By
connecting medical institutions and their
imaging devices, teamplay aspires to create the biggest virtual imaging team in
the world and provides its members with
tools to tackle big data and the challenges of increasing cost pressure.
How it works
The cloud-based solution teamplay will
help you make prompt, well-informed
decisions by offering an intelligible overview of your performance data. Decisions
are based on current data at a glance,
reliable benchmarks, and exchange of
expertise with potentially thousands of
other healthcare professionals worldwide. From department manager to
radiologist, from referrer to specialist –
instantly2 grant access to everybody who
is entitled to the image3 or report
through a perfectly guarded gateway.

What it does
Homebase
In the Homebase view, you get a clear
picture of the most important information at a glance. teamplay is designed
so intuitively that you do not need dedicated training to understand the
functionality.
Refine your imaging efficiency
A comprehensive dashboard provides
performance transparency of scanner,
workflow, examination, or personnel
from the whole fleet, down to every
modality. The regular assessment of
this data will support measures to increase efficiency.
Monitor imaging dose
Monitor the dose levels of every connected
modality and observe institutional or
self-set dose limits to easily identify the
root causes of dose outliers in scanner,
protocol, location, and operator, and to
implement corrective measures.
Seamlessly exchange expertise
Instantly2 exchange reports, images, and
patient histories with other doctors and
even patients through a secure cloud3
system for a seamless and efficient workflow. This enables physicians to reduce
the number of redundant exams and
might therefore save crucial time in
patient care.
Keeping private
things private
Protecting the privacy of your personal
data is important to teamplay as it is in
every Siemens Healthcare project. Rest
assured that teamplay works in compliance with applicable laws on data privacy
protection and data security. Furthermore, since teamplay will be handling
personal and sensitive information, we
make sure our security measures go beyond what is required: while providing
different data security levels to be compliant with local regulations, teamplay
meets the US standards of HIPAA (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act) as well as the requirements of the
European Data Protection Directive.
A strong security partner
Employing the Microsoft Azure Cloud
comes with cutting-edge security to
avoid breaches and malicious attacks.
Sophisticated measures like encryption,
segregation, and destruction safeguard
all information.
EuroPriSe4
HIPAA
ULD5
Restricted area
Intelligent access-control technologies
restrict data access and use two
individual login accounts and authorizations. Solely the teamplay users themselves decide whom they grant access
rights or share their data with. No patient
information will be sent to teamplay
without customer and patient consent.
Transparent data use policy
A dedicated agreement (e.g. in the
United States, a business associate
agreement) ensures joint responsibility
of all involved parties and lists all
obligations of security and confidentiality
elements for patient information.

Instant2 access to images and prior results through a secure
cloud support private referrals as well as second opinion
reading and speeds up processes.
Easy access to your data
and benchmarks supports
the reduction of overhead
burden for budgeting.
“Up to 10% additional
CT scans from lung
cancer screening.
Is my department
prepared?”

your return on assets with
reliable insights on scanner
usage, workflow, examinations,
and personnel.
Limit complexity by letting
teamplay handle your
imaging devices for all
vendors with a single
system.
“It’s not always the
operator’s fault, if we
don’t scan as many
patients as required.”
Track and compare performance numbers down to the
individual imaging device.
The simple and intuitive
user interface is designed
to make your team productive right from the
start.
