Medication Workstation – Mobile Solution Spotlight

American River Medical

Chandler, AZ USA – Medication Workstations are a specific type of medical carts used throughout hospitals. Departments include but are not limited to: patient floors, Med-Surg, Telemetry, ICU (NICU, CCU, CVICU), ED, and more. Medication Workstations enable professional healthcare staff to provide and account for the administration of medications to patients. Medication workstation systems have five major components that accomplish this: Software, Medication Bins, Computing Interface, eMAR Scanning Gun, and Mobility (wheels). These five primary features of the medication workstation bring the medication administration to the patient; Or, “Point-of-Care“.

Our “Mobile Solution Spotlight” for May is the MX Series Medication Workstation by Capsa Solutions. The MX offers all of the five major components with several customizable peripheral features that tailor it to your exact medication administration workflow protocols. As with all types of mobile computing, medication workstations have several departments involved in the selection process due to use, critical data, and of course maintenance and service.
