From: Kuse, Nancy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 10:13 AM To: Tammy McGary Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] Mobile Carts and Hand helds Tammy I would be interested to see any responses you receive. We do have mobile carts here. We use Infologix FLO cart ( flohealthcare.com) and we have Artromicks INITI MedServer (artromick.com). Some issues with both: FLO not enough drawers for med passes, manual up and down, INITI difficult to maneuver/steer on carpet but great on drawer space. I would have liked to purchase the RIOUX but it was not available to the public when we needed to purchase and it appeared at HIMSS to be lightweight like the FLO but had the storage space like the INITI. Something else that I have seen is the MOTION C5 from Motion Computing that looks like a tablet and has the option of a built in scanner with a nice handle. Other issues with the carts is having to haul them to the room for PRNs otherwise great for large med passes. The Motion C5 would be great for the PRNs but what about the large med passes and they run about $2500 based on configuration. If you don't have carpet on your nursing units you should be good either way. MAKE NURSING DEMO THEM. Demand DEMO time (atleast a week) from the cart manufacturer. Even if you are not live with BMV/eMAR make nursing use the demo cart for all trips to the patient room (documentation, med passes, vitals etc) so they get a true feel for the cart and going back and forth to patient rooms. Good luck and please keep me posted!

We are replacing our DG handhelds with wireless and are trying to gather information on what units are the best. If you are currently using Mobile carts and hand helds I would really appreciate your input on various models. Tammy McGary, MIS Director Houlton Regional Hospital [EMAIL PROTECTED]
