DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At GITEX GLOBAL 2024 in Dubai, during the summit themed “Leading Infrastructure to Accelerate Electric Power Intelligence”, Huawei released the fgOTN White Paper for Electric Power. The white paper aims to promote the digital and intelligent transformation of the electric power industry.

At the summit, Dr. Eesa M. Bastaki, Honorary Chairman of IEEE UAE Section, and Marcio Szechtman, Ex-CIGRE Technical Council Chair, introduced the industry standards, development trends, and digital transformation progress of power distribution facilities.

David Sun, Vice President, CEO of the Electric Power Digitalization BU, Huawei, delivered a keynote speech where he discussed how the changing structure of the power system has shifted the focus of power companies. With the rapid development of new energy, power companies are facing challenges such as difficulty in managing multiple access points and monitoring the power supply, as well as issues with interaction and consumption. The key to addressing these challenges lies in the distribution network. Huawei’s Intelligent Distribution Solution (IDS) aims to help power companies build intelligent distribution network by reducing line loss, improving power supply reliability, and enhancing management of distributed photovoltaic and charging pile groups.

In addition, security and reliability have always been a top priority for the power system. To address issues such as rapid expansion of equipment scale, exponential growth in power technology complexity, and equipment exceeding its service life in the power generation and transformation fields, Huawei has proposed Intelligent Power Station Solution and Intelligent Substation Solution to support power companies in transitioning from passive to active operation and moving towards predictive maintenance. At the same time, power companies are looking to improve OPEX efficiency through digital means, particularly by reducing communication costs through target network communication, reducing system construction costs through digital architecture reconstruction, and reducing labor costs through talent transformation.

Li Shenglei, Technical Director of the R&D Center of State Grid Shaanxi Electric Power Information and Communication Company, spoke of the latest practices of the IDS in State Grid Shaanxi. He said, “The latest version of high-speed power line communications (HPLC) is extremely helpful to us. The ability to identify the topology is crucial for measuring line loss and responding to emergencies. The HPLC and RF test outcomes are sufficient for most service scenarios.”

The load side presents the biggest challenge for the future power system, and improving backbone communication network is crucial in addressing this challenge. Huawei has partnered with global power partners to release the fgOTN White Paper for Electric Power. The release ceremony was attended by Sabu Mathew, CEO of 3W Networks, Sam Wang, Deputy Chief Engineer of Himark, Nick Liu, Vice President of Enterprise Optical Domain, Huawei, and Jason Li, President of Global Marketing & Solutions for Electric Power Digitalization BU, Huawei.

Nick Liu said in his speech, “The fgOTN in the OTN architecture offers several benefits, including providing transmission channels of high reliability, low latency, and high efficiency for small-granularity services like electric power. It can also easily increase network bandwidth for future digital and intelligent development, making it an excellent solution for upgrading SDH networks and constructing digital and intelligent grid networks.”

In the future, Huawei will continue to work with customers and partners to pave the way for intelligent electric power through scenario-driven and joint innovation.

BOSTON, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Buena Vida y Salud ACO was selected as a 2024 NAACOS Excellence Awards winner, receiving national recognition for outstanding efforts in value-based care. Dr. Sheila Magoon serves as the Executive Director of Buena Vida y Salud (BVyS) ACO and South Texas Physician Alliance in Harlingen, Texas. “Keeping patients healthy at home” is her mission and mantra; her BVyS clinical teams partnered with Health Data Analytics Institute (HDAI) to pioneer an AI-guided approach to patient targeting that yielded reductions in emergency department (ED) visits, unplanned hospital admissions, and costs over a 6-month period.

“We are pleased to share what we have learned with the broader ACO community.” said Sheila Magoon, MD, Buena Vida y Salud ACO, “Predictive analytics helps us identify the subset of patients who will benefit from high-touch, high-frequency interventions that are timely, specific, and impactful, ultimately leading to better health outcomes for our patient populations.”

Buena Vida y Salud’s Healthy@Home program focuses on monitoring and predicting costly patient outcomes, such as unplanned hospitalizations, fall-related injuries, exacerbation of heart failure, or development of sepsis/pneumonia. The BVyS and HDAI collaborative program team identified patients needing checkups and screenings, high-risk patients requiring interventions, and recently discharged patients for follow-up appointments. BVyS was able to create and distribute actionable reports to their physician offices, boosting productivity, performance, and revenue.

This strategic partnership has enabled BVyS to significantly reduce the average number of ED visits by 33%, unplanned hospital admissions by 22%, and positively impact their ACO’s financials by reducing overall claims dollars spent per ACO member per month (PMPM) for their high-risk patients. Patients in the advanced illness cohort experienced the greatest benefit from the high-touch care coordination program with a 41% reduction in unplanned hospitalizations and a 39.5% reduction in emergency ED visits.

“I cannot overstate the value of our partnership with HDAI. This award is truly for both of our organizations” Rafael Alvarez, COO of Buena Vida y Salud ACO states. “The HDAI team is insightful and quick to engage with us. We have learned and grown together by leveraging analytics, individual insight, and patient compassion.”

“It has been a great partnership, and we very much appreciate all the work BVyS has done on the ground to leverage the technology and make a significant impact for patients.” said Nassib Chamoun, Founder, President, and CEO of HDAI. “We are honored to support BVyS ACO in their mission to consistently deliver superior care to their patients, minimize unnecessary utilization, and support physicians in making the best clinical decisions.”
