Analytics as a Managed Service
Strings by Paragon is the industry’s first fully managed, vendor-agnostic analytics solution for real-time enterprise imaging clinical workflow, applications monitoring, and optimization. Using multi-source data binding and enrichment technology in combination with professional services from Paragon experts, Strings simplifies the management of complex multi-vendor technology ecosystems to enable an actionable approach to performance management.
Monitor enterprise-wide application performance statistics and data trends in real-time with a centralized, customizable dashboard.
Simplified Enterprise Management
Simplify and improve management of complex clinical applications, systems, and infrastructure with a unified solution that aggregates and associates event data from applications across the enterprise:
- Aggregate multi-source data to enable contextual monitoring and measuring of system performance enterprise-wide
- Accurately predict realistic staffing and room utilization scenarios.
- Easily differentiate between application and infrastructure performance, gaps, and system errors
Intelligent Application Monitoring
Empower system and IT administrators with a vendor-neutral platform that goes beyond traditional application performance monitoring (APM) to orchestrate profiling, alerting, and troubleshooting of multi-vendor applications across the imaging enterprise to deliver actionable insights into application performance, workflow efficiency, and end user experience:
- Easily integrate and monitor any application or infrastructure using a unified platform and plug-and-play agents
- Correlate traditional application and infrastructure performance indicators such as processor, memory, disk, and network to true end user workflow experience
- Quickly pinpoint the exact root cause of system, workflow, data point, or infrastructure issues across multi-vendor environments
- Anticipate and remediate potential problems before they occur with proactive, targeted notifications using any channel or media
- Engage in proactive continuous workflow optimization with real-time, predictive performance monitoring dashboards
Live APM dashboards and targeted alerts enable proactive identification and remediation of infrastructure or application performance issues.
Configure, collect, and enrich your data through algorithms that profile deviations in volumes and consistency by time, source, destination, and more.
Data Quality Monitoring
Continuously analyze and profile incoming data using a model of statistical algorithms that predict and identify unanticipated variations to enable proactive intervention and remediation that results in improved data quality and enhanced information clarity and understanding.
- Recognize data trends using statistical algorithms that predict and identify variations from expected patterns
- Band and enrich data elements from across disparate applications, databases, instrumentations, and log files to enhance information clarity and understanding.
- Discover relationships between data sources, applications, pathways, and infrastructure to enable application administrators to proactively identify opportunities for optimization.
Extended Expertise
Don’t have the time or resources to manage a comprehensive analytics program? Leverage our team of seasoned experts to keep your Strings environment tuned as included with the fully managed service.
- With decades of collective clinical, technical, and operational experience we understand clinical workflow, operations, enterprise imaging vendor applications, and your technology backbone.
- Achieve continuous oversight over your environment, data connectors, enrichment algorithms, and ultimately the results of your analytics with fully-managed analytics-as-a-service.
- Drive actionable, measurable, and positive change into your clinical and operational workflows.
Strings in Action
Strings is a proven solution for managing complex, multi-vendor enterprises. At Sentara Healthcare, a 12-hospital network in Virginia, Strings enables application and operational administrators to proactively identify and remediate system issues before clinical workflows are impacted – improving overall performance, clinical outcomes, and end-user satisfaction.
“We were looking for a solution that would complement our traditional application performance monitoring tools. As an example, we knew when a CPU spiked, but that was often not enough to understand and address the root cause. Strings by Paragon is providing us the ability to more quickly and proactively identify the user and clinical application workflows that need to be addressed before end users are impacted.” - Trent Conwell, IT Director at Sentara Healthcare.
Features & Functionality
Strings brings both technology and professional services from Paragon Consulting Partners to bring a new, proven dimension of real-world clinical domain performance metrics. Key features of the Strings platform include:
- Real-time, predictive dashboards
- Timely alerts to any channel or media
- Dynamic, multi-source data banding supports all vendors and technologies
- Data enrichment framework for algorithm integration
- Plug-and-play agents enable quick and easy integration of multi-vendor applications
- Hierarchical analytics for targeted, contextual performance monitoring and root-cause analysis
- Data profiler for automatic identification of data abnormalities
- API framework for advanced integrations and custom projects
- Tailored implementation and ongoing KPI monitoring and reporting professional services by clinical workflow, application, and project management experts
We pride ourselves on integrity and quality of service. We demonstrate this not only to our clients, but to the patients we serve as well. Afford us the opportunity to show you our difference.
