IS-H Sizing

[gecanessa]

Hi,

I am trying to estimate initial sizing for an IS-H Solution.

For disk space requirements, Note 878808 says:

"(1) For a medium hospital (~ 700 beds) we estimate approx. 2-3 GB/year."

I can't understand if this means 2-3 GB/year per bed? per patient? per case?

Will appreciate any help.

Regards

Hi Glen

The note is only valid for IS-H. Is your customer willing to install i.s.h.med?

The note was writen by Josef Berkowits, here is his blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/u/8808 [original link is broken] . Write him a message.

With best regards

Hi,

as far as I know this means that you need 2-3 GB altogether for all IS-H data for a an average hospital of 700 beds with avarage "case sizes".

A similar note exists for i.s.h.med, [ 1517664|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1517664].

Bear in mind that this can only be a very rough estimation since actual requirements of course depend very much on your actual usage patterns.

hope it helps,

Thanks for your answers.

What I find weird is that 2-3 GB/year (or even 10 GB/year) is almost negligible growth for a SAP system.

So, I thought there was a mistake, or that this quantity is per bed or patient.

My best regards.

Hi Glen

Please, take this as rule of thumb. From my point of view, the sizing note is a little bit out to date.

What I ussualy do as rule of thumb, is to match the IS-H Cases as Sales Orders, and Services as Sales ordes line items.

So, every movement is an encounter with the patient.

Another rule, 1 IS-H user = 1 SD user

This is only valid for ISH! for i.s.h.med use the other note.

One hospital with outpatient and inpatient activity could have, for example, 50.000 cases per month with 20 services each. So, in quick sizer you could enter 50.000 Sales Orders per months, with an average of 20 Line Items (your customer could have that info)

In some countries, the patient pays a part of the bill and the insurance company the other part, so you could enter 100.000 invoices per month (20 line items avg). If you have active CO, FI, CO-PA, you could determine also the quantities.

I hope this info helps.
