Implementation
St. Luke's University Health Network is a health care provider with a regional network of hospitals, physicians, and
related organizations primarily in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The network consists of over 80 owned physician-
practice sites and more than 125 employed primary care/specialist physician sites. St. Luke's handles over 55,000
annualadmissionsandnearly200,000annualemergencyroomvisits.
In order to leverage technology to further medical research, St. Luke's wanted to implement a web application to
support the Clinical Drug Research Process. The application would assist with medication management, allowing
userstodigitallycheck-outandcheck-inmedicationsintheworkflow.
St. Luke's University Health Network sought the assistance of AllianceTek, a leading IT solutions and software
development company with experience in developing custom applications for medical organizations. AllianceTek
studiedtherequirementsanddesignedasolutionthatwouldbestfitSt.Luke's. AllianceTekimplementedWindows
Authentication so users could use their Windows login credentials on their local intranet network. By using
Windows Authentication, users could be validated into the system along with their necessary details (first name,
lastname,email,phone,role,etc.)tobestoredandretrievedfromtheapplicationdatastorage.
The application is built on .NET MVC architecture with SQL Server and uses Windows Authentication so users can
log into the system along with their necessary details. During the implementation, there was a difficulty with a
database concurrency conflict, which occurred when two or more users were trying to edit the same record at the
same time. This was overcome by implementing the functionality 'RowVersion'. 'RowVersion' is used to maintain
the integrity of the database when multiple users are updating the row at the same time by creating optimistic
concurrency control. In order to promote efficient workflow, an email system was created at every step of the
check-in/check-out process to alert the next user in line about the update. When the status changes the next user
immediately receives an update via email, before logging into the system. The application also implemented an
administration section where users could be added and deleted, as well as a role system of privileges that helped

Result
AsaresultofworkingwithAllianceTektodeveloptheintranetapplication,St.Luke'sUniversityHealthNetworkwas
able to more efficiently conduct medical research. The email flow at the completion of each check-in/check-out
process helps system users get updates quickly with better synchronization without even accessing the system,
therebyfillingcommunicationgaps.
