<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2008 Founder and President <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/taggart-f-neal-edac-b9813a19" data-type="link" data-id="www.linkedin.com/in/taggart-f-neal-edac-b9813a19">Taggart Neal</a> found himself with an opportunity to serve a hospital cart client beyond his current role of employment. Over that time American River Medical has performed countless medical cart, workstation cart, and medical storage solution proposals, service and sales for hospital nursing staff. Primarily focused on acute care hospitals in the western US, American River Medical has enjoyed over ten sales representatives and territory managers, six college interns, and greater than fifty suppliers and manufacturers. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Contributing to its success are its <a href="https://www.americanrivermedical.com/testimonials/">unsurpassed personalized service</a>, and its discriminating <a href="https://www.americanrivermedical.com/showroom/">product portfolio</a>. Word of mouth, referral, and repeat clientele continue to be the engine behind its medical cart business opportunities of service before and beyond “The quote.” American River Medical only represents the very best in medical cart and storage product lines for nursing. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>
<cite>“We do more than make a call and email a quote, we show up and listen, listen, and listen some more, then deliver the best carts that elevate nurses ability to provide superior patient care. That’s our role and we love it!”</cite></blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The relationships formed over these years with nurses in over ten states are the greatest pride and joy of American River Medical. These relationships are based on trust, respect, industry knowledge, and level of service ARM is small enough to accept and big enough to deliver. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">President and Founder Taggart Neal says, “We do more than make a call and email a quote, we show up and listen, listen, and listen some more, then deliver the best carts that elevate nurses ability to provide superior patient care. That’s our role and we love it!” When asked what has been the most valuable lesson in the fifteen years in business Neal thinks for a minute and opines, “We spent two to three years learning what we do great and what we do pretty good or okay. Learning to be disciplined and stay in our lane doing only what we do great is likely our most valuable lesson in terms of growing business by being the best we can be for hospital nursing staff. We eat, sleep and dream medical carts. We are medical carts for nursing.” </p>

					<description><![CDATA[Interruptions and Geographic Challenges to Nurses' Cognitive Workload and it's relation to medical cart and workstations. ]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Design Implications:</strong> From the Author(s),</p>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:center"><em><strong> “Any improvements to minimize the number of interruptions experienced by nurses will improve healthcare quality and will help ensure patient safety.”    </strong></em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>American River Medical Commentary</strong> &#8211; &#8220;This data directly correlates to medical cart workstation usage by nursing professionals. It identifies &#8216;Cumbersome processes&#8217; which the current environment of care requires nurses to monitor, manage, and maintain the power systems on their medical carts and workstations. These &#8216;Cumbersome  processes&#8217; are unnecessary and distract from patient care. Thus, if  innovative medical cart workstations reduce nurses&#8217; travel paths and  eliminate unnecessary interruptions enhanced patient care will be  achieved which positively impacts better patient outcomes.&#8221;   </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I contend available (geographically proximate and consistent), reliable, and abundantly powered medical cart workstations will enhance nursing work flow, elevate quality of patient care, reduce work place risk injury, and improve work place satisfaction. American River Medical continues to gain momentum and stakeholder buy-in on our project to innovate medical cart workstations that embody such an environment of care, possessing infinite scalability to grow with future increasing power demands on all types of medical carts.&#8221;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>OBJECTIVES</strong> This study set out to examine workload interruptions for nurses  in medical-surgical hospital units, with the intent to identify methods  for reducing interruptions and improving the nurses’ cognitive work efficiency.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Key Concepts / Contex</strong> &#8211;<strong> </strong>Inpatient car<strong>e</strong> is fast-paced and requires nurses to constantly shift their attention to make clinical decisions and care for patients in a constantly environment. Nurses integrate complex thinking with psychomotor and affective skills to deliver interventions. This thinking is continually disrupted by interruptions and distractions, which compete for their attention and can lead to errors or omissions and potentially pose a risk to patient safety. <em><strong>Earlier studies estimate that each interruption reflected an operational loss and cost $95</strong></em><strong>. </strong>The research methods used in this study replicated a prior study.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Methods</strong> &#8211; The study was conducted in medical-surgical nursing units at a 562-bed, tertiary care, urban hospital in the Midwest. The units comprised two medical units, two surgical units, and two cardiology units (one medical, one surgical). The units ranged from 30 beds (medical oncology) to 37 beds (cardiology surgical). Three of the units (medical, surgical, and cardiology medical) included intermediate care beds with invasive monitoring capacity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The descriptive study included quantitative and qualitative observation techniques. Data collection tools included observations by two trained nurse faculty practitioners who tracked nurses’ paths on floor plans as well as kept field notes on the nurses’ actions and communication with others. A convenience sample of 32 staff nurses was observed during the day shift, working in six medical-surgical nursing units.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The study calculated interruption frequencies by type and qualitatively assessed subjects’ travel patterns to identify possible sources of interruptions and cumbersome processes interfering with patient care. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Findings</strong> &#8211;  The study calculated interruption frequencies by type and qualitatively assessed subjects’ travel patterns to identify possible sources of interruptions and cumbersome processes interfering with patient care. Observers recorded 244 interruptions and found six major themes: (1) employees asking questions, (2) distracting peripheral conversations, (3) <strong>unavailable supplies that required the nurse to get them</strong>, (4) phone calls, (5) family questions, and (6) patient call lights.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Travel patterns also contributed to workflow interruptions. Nurses traveled frequently between patient rooms, <strong>medication carts or stations, and centralized equipment and care supplies locations</strong>, responding to requests from patients and other caregivers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Reviewer note: This article discusses many findings relative to nursing unit design than can be represented here. Therefore, review of this article is recommended. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Limitations</strong> &#8211; This study is limited in that it was conducted at only one hospital where the system of care, operations, equipment, and staffing patterns may be unique to this environment. Further, the observations were all made on the day shift.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The observers did not enter patient rooms to avoid creating yet another distraction; thus, some interruptions may not have been recorded. Finally, it is possible that observers classified observations into different categories, despite their training. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Design Implications</strong> &#8211; Many interruptions occurred while nurses were in the process of performing intervention activities such as traveling to patient rooms, gathering supplies, preparing or administering medication, and patient teaching, creating a risk for medication error and the potential for unintentional omissions in care. As the authors note, “Any improvements to minimize the number of interruptions experienced by nurses will improve healthcare quality and will help ensure patient safety.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The data from this study suggest that nurses’ travel paths on a unit create interruptions in their ability to carry out efficient patient care. Designers might consider the results of this study as they work with staff planning for their work flow. <strong>The End.</strong> </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2> Medical Cart Definition &#8211; Define What You Do – Project</h2>
<p><em>El Dorado Hills, CA USA</em> – American River Medical has launched a <a href="http://testarm2.dependentmedia.com/projects/">project</a> to officially define the commonly used word phrase &#8220;<strong>Medical Cart</strong>&#8221; for the benefit of the greater medical cart industry. Originally defined online in 2011 by <a href="http://testarm2.dependentmedia.com/">American River Medical</a>, now the project is going in front of the dictionary officials at <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/">Merriam-Webster </a>for review and acceptance.</p>
<h3><strong>Project Basics – <a href="http://testarm2.dependentmedia.com/projects/define-what-you-do/">see complete project to learn more</a><br />
</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Project:</strong> Medical Cart Definition &#8211; Define What You Do</p>
<p><strong>What:</strong> Define What You Do &#8211; After eight years in medical carts around 2011 American River Medical President, Tagg Neal, heard a motivational speech which said, &#8220;<strong>Define What You Do</strong>.&#8221; He had dedicated nearly a decade of his career to medical carts and asked the question, <strong><em>&#8220;What is the definition of a medical cart?&#8221;</em></strong> After research he found it had never been defined &#8211; a definition did not exist. He performed a process to define the word phrase &#8220;<strong>Medical Cart</strong>&#8221; which was used dozens of times a day in his life. After distillation and refinement he posted his proposed definition on this website in 2011 and it has been American River Medical&#8217;s working definition ever since:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Medical Cart</strong> – noun, /med-i-kul – ‘kart/; “<em>Mobile systems, solutions, or workstations that optimize the storage, mobilization, and access of healthcare equipment, supplies, medication, and electronic data.</em>” -American River Medical, LLC</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Who:</strong> American River Medical is a innovation, design and service company focused on medical cart and storage <span id="more-3503"></span>systems for healthcare. We welcome the opportunity for potential project collaboration</p>
<p><strong>Why: </strong>Our mission is to provide medical cart systems, services, and solutions that make healthcare professionals&#8217; calling more meaningful, efficient and effective</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> The hospital utilizes various &#8220;<strong>Medical carts</strong>&#8221; to optimize the storage, mobility, and access of medical equipment, supplies, medication, and electronic data for their staff&#8217;s practice of healthcare</p>

<h1>Point of Care Refresh with Capsa</h1>
<p>El Dorado Hills, CA USA &#8211; Point of Care Refresh with Capsa Solutions Rubbermaid Healthcare. American River Medical performs &#8220;Mobile Computing Fleet Analysis&#8221; for hospital information system and nursing informatics teams in hospitals. This provides and indepth report of their existing technology platforms utilized to power their EHR&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Mobile computing carts and workstations continue to play the most vital role for hospital EHR technology platforms. Mobile computing carts are powerful, mobile, ergnomic, and intuitive. Healthcare professionals constantly utilize their carts for EHR management and optimal patient care.</p>
<p><b>The Problem</b></p>
<p>The current problems is an age old problem of the technology curve: <u>Obselesence</u>. Since the mandatory implementation of Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) circa 2012 many hospitals are experiencing mobile computing fleets that are simply outdated, underpowered, and aesthetically used and abused. EHR is paramount to patient care outcomes in the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Patient healthcare record data access and input </b></li>
<li><b>Medication Administration and Dispensing</b></li>
<li><b>Revenue Charge Capture</b></li>
</ul>
<p>Collectively these represent major character roles in any successful healthcare setting. The paramount function of patient healthcare record data collecting and access, medication administration and dispensing, and revenue charge capture requires a technology platform that can exececute at speeed and accuracy of today&#8217;s modern age.</p>
<p>Outdated point of care technology platforms are burdensome on hospital information system teams. Thus, outdated mobile computing carts are not only inhibiting a hospital&#8217;s ability to perform they are costing them valuable resources in ongoing deferred maintenance and operation.</p>
<p><b>The Solution</b></p>
<p>Performing as an individual team, point of care mobile computing carts and workstations are the empowering trifecta. They empower clinical healthcare professionals,  hospital pharmacy staff, and EHR patient record and billing staff. How your point of care mobile computing fleet executes these functions directly impacts a hospitals ability to deliver optimal patient outcomes and the bottom line.</p>
<p><b>Point of Care Refresh 2017</b></p>
<p>Hospitals engage American River Medical to perform <b>&#8220;Mobile Computing Fleet Analysis</b>.&#8221; With a team approach from our product manufacturer Capsa Solutions Rubbermaid Healthcare we provide hospitals with a comprehensive analysis that includes detailed focus on performance, power, compliance, technology interface, and ergonomics.

<p><del></del><del></del>Hospitals that practice continual improvement in patient care and outcomes will review their EHR interface technology. The mobile computing cart and workstation is the pinnacle hardware technology interface in that equation.</p>

<p>1. <strong>Large supply storage capacity</strong> &#8211; The nature in size of <em>supply exchange carts</em> allow for more items to be stored. More isn&#8217;t always better, especially in the realm of<a class="qnaeicugglz" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="#24913986"> optimized<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> storage. An anesthesia supply room crammed with &#8220;Stuff&#8221;, isn&#8217;t a functional storage system. However &#8211; the supply exchange<a class="nruclmlnze" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="#67526516"> cart<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> makes a strong case for capacity. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Capacity is only a function of optimized storage</span> &#8211; it cannot in and of itself create<a class="qnaeicugglz" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="#24824768"> optimized<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> storage &#8211; just more storage.

Having more supplies as a function of it&#8217;s utility near the<a class="mbmakhdmrmh" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="#94906356"> carts<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> <strong>POP (point of purpose)</strong>, means less restocking and replenishing.

The benefit of increased capacity in a supply exchange cart is this &#8220;Exchange&#8221; is done far less frequently due to the larger<a class="xbwjqxhioj" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="http://s.iktmmny.com/click?v=VVM6ODc1NjY6MzI4NTppbnZlbnRvcnk6YTg2YjQyMzJlOGVjOGYwYjgxYjk3NTJlZjY4OTc0ZDg6ei0yNDQ5LTgwNzc1NTQ3Ond3dy5hbWVyaWNhbnJpdmVybWVkaWNhbC5jb206MjU3OTk4OjZhMDIyOGExOWNmODY1ZTYwYWYzM2U4NmM2Y2EzYWJiOjc3YTk0YmU4NzQ0MzQ5MTI4YmIxYzVkNmJhN2U4NDgwOjE6ZGF0YV9zcyw3Mjh4MTM2NjtkYXRhX3JjLDE7ZGF0YV9mYixubzs6NTAzNjE5Mg&amp;subid=g-80775547-3f75626954bb4caeb090bc264c3aa80e-&amp;data_ss=728x1366&amp;data_rc=1&amp;data_fb=no&amp;data_tagname=A&amp;data_ct=image_only&amp;data_clickel=link" target="a652c_1447282811_wwwamericanrivermedicalcom"> inventory<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> of supplies on hand.

<p>2. <strong>Complete supply visual transparency</strong> &#8211; <em>Supply Exchange Carts</em> traditionally come with either a roll up door called a flex door, tambour door, C-lock, or glass hinged door(s). The type of door is dependent on supplies stored and location of the carts point of purpose (POP). In the case of the Flex-Lok roll-up door, when it is accessed all the supplies stored inside the cart are<a class="nruclmlnze" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="http://s.iktmmny.com/click?v=VVM6MTA4MjU1Ojk5NTA6YXZhaWxhYmlsaXR5OmZiMjVlZTdmZjEzZmZjNjk5NmE4ZDVmZDdkMTcwMDBkOnotMjQ0OS04MDc3NTU0Nzp3d3cuYW1lcmljYW5yaXZlcm1lZGljYWwuY29tOjMxMDY2Mzo3YTA3OTZlZTIzYTBjZTRkZDQ5YWQ0ZjYyNTIwMmUxZjoyMDc0ODVmMWExYjU0ZDA0OGQ5OTk2MzBjOTBmMTBmODoxOmRhdGFfc3MsNzI4eDEzNjY7ZGF0YV9yYywyO2RhdGFfZmIsbm87OjUxNDYwNzY&amp;subid=g-80775547-36403c5431d547e5ba605f908e8e64f9-&amp;data_ss=728x1366&amp;data_rc=2&amp;data_fb=no&amp;data_tagname=A&amp;data_ct=link_only&amp;data_clickel=link" target="a652c_1447351316_wwwamericanrivermedicalcom"> available<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> in one quick glance. Healthcare professionals can readily see all the inventory supplies, labels, and sizes to efficiently retrieve the correct item they are seeking. In the case of the glass hinged doors, healthcare staff can readily see the stored items on approach to the cabinet, even prior to accessing it. As healthcare leadership throughout the western United States have conveyed to American River Medical &#8211; time saved is<a class="qnaeicugglz" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="#840005"> money saved<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a>. Supply workflow systems are increasingly being evaluated to bring about improved care. Every minute their staff are not digging into a drawer of a cart looking for items &#8211; is labor cost savings and increased employee satisfaction. The exoskeleton of the supply exchange cart delivers a<a class="xbwjqxhioj" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="#22569688"> single<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> access point to the entire cart. It eliminates time savings of opening the wrong drawer for something once, twice, thrice, and so on. The entire <span style="text-decoration: underline;">supply exchange cart</span> is transparent at the moment it is accessed and even prior if it is in the open position or has glass doors.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Modular configurations</strong> &#8211; <strong>Supply exchange carts</strong> have modular storage. This allows for your cart&#8217;s supply<a class="vhegrsdm" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="#17025732"> inventory<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a><a class="qnaeicugglz" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="http://s.iktmmny.com/click?v=VVM6MTA0MzYyOjU3ODc6b3B0aW1pemVyOjNiZjJhYjVkYzFmNmExMmNhMzJhNDdjNzNmYTRhNWYyOnotMjQ0OS04MDc3NTU0Nzp3d3cuYW1lcmljYW5yaXZlcm1lZGljYWwuY29tOjI5ODI1Mzo5MzU0MGU1ODI2OWNlMGZjNjg2ODAwYWIxNjk0MGVmNTpjZTY2ZjJlNDc0MmQ0YzgzOThlNjBmMWIwNGYwYTA1NjoxOmRhdGFfc3MsNzI4eDEzNjY7ZGF0YV9yYywyO2RhdGFfZmIsbm87OjUxNjc5MDE&amp;subid=g-80775547-c0b93abb594e4050a695ebc495957ab6-&amp;data_ss=728x1366&amp;data_rc=2&amp;data_fb=no&amp;data_tagname=A&amp;data_ct=text_only&amp;data_clickel=link" target="a652c_1447286000_wwwamericanrivermedicalcom"> optimization<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> to change over time. Shelves, slide out shelves, trays, bins, wire baskets, catheter FIFO glide hangers, slot shelves and dividers short and long provide maximum customizable storage. Customizable storage configurations allow for supply exchange carts to adapt to any hospital or healthcare environment, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>evolve</strong></span> with that environment over time. Hospital departments may re-purpose the supply exchange cart from that of an interventional cart, to that of a thoracic, or vascular supply cart. This is accomplished by reconfiguring the internal storage within the framework design of preset vertical slots. Shelves and bins can be moved around or replaced with bins and baskets. Storage modularity ensures the <em>supply exchange cart</em> will be customized to fit your need from day one &#8211; and evolve with your storage supply needs long into the future.</p>

<p><strong>Supply Exchange Carts Increase Hospital Revenue Capture<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Due to the benefits of increased storage capacity, transparent quick views, and modular configurations the Supply Exchange Cart is making headway into the department of Emergency Services and other patient care areas. The supply exchange cart is quickly replacing traditional smaller bedside carts and fixed case work. In Emergency services, if a<a class="wlhjeznmxv" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="#94956837"> room<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> is specialized for pediatrics, or psychiatric behavior, the fixed (often melamine) case work or bedside cart is also specialized. When the department receives a surge in standard patients, it is unable to quickly and easily convert that<a class="fpismqorcbm" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="#93893296"> room<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> to a traditional patient<a class="dksxqzsa" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="#13426377"> room<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> as it only has supplies for specialty patients (Psych, Pediatric, etc.). The ability of the Supply Exchange Cart to be an all encompassing supply cart, means any<a class="mbmakhdmrmh" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="#52892454"> room<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> can be used at any time for the needs of the department. In turn this means shorter wait times and<a class="mbmakhdmrmh" title="Click to Continue &gt; by Advertise" href="#82863222"> more<img decoding="async" src="http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" alt="" /></a> revenue capture opportunity.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chandler, AZ USA &#8211; <strong>Medication Workstations</strong> are a specific type of <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>medical carts</strong></span> used throughout hospitals. Departments include but are not limited to: patient floors, Med-Surg, Telemetry, ICU (NICU, CCU, CVICU), ED, and more. <em>Medication Workstations</em> enable professional healthcare staff to provide and account for the administration of medications to patients.

These five primary features of the medication workstation bring the medication administration to the patient; Or, &#8220;<strong>Point-of-Care</strong>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Our &#8220;<strong>Mobile Solution Spotlight</strong>&#8221; for May is the <a title="Medication Workstations - American River Medical" href="http://testarm2.dependentmedia.com/laptop-carts-computer-workstations/mx35-mx40/" target="_blank"><strong>MX Series Medication Workstation </strong></a>by Capsa Solutions.

<p><strong>EHR Computer Interface<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span></strong></p>
<p>The MX has raving fans from IS/IT due to it&#8217;s ability to work with hospital standardized computing platforms; Laptops, Small Form Factors, AIO&#8217;s, and mounted Tablets). In addition the ease and speed of battery change out is an absolute favorite feature of the <a title="Medication Workstations - American River Medical" href="http://testarm2.dependentmedia.com/laptop-carts-computer-workstations/mx35-mx40/" target="_blank">MX Medication Workstation</a>. The eMAR <span style="text-decoration: underline;">scanning gun for bar code administration</span> is conveniently mounted and also customizable.</p>
<p><strong>Software</strong></p>
<p><strong>Medication Workstations</strong> also support medication administration management software (MAMS) to integrate with hospital systems&#8217; electronic healthcare records (EHR). The latop or computer interface on the MX will support your team&#8217;s MAMS. As for software to manage your fleet of carts and users &#8211; the MX series offers a robust software in <a title="Cartwatch Remote Management System Software" href="http://www.capsasolutions.com/mobile-computing/medication-workstations/mx-medication-workstation/cartwatch/" target="_blank">Cartwatch</a> Remote Management System. Cartwatch is a web based laptop cart IT security management software. It enables administrators to update and control access to carts quickly and easily. It eliminates the need to visit all carts individually for audits and reprogramming. Cartwatch sports an intuitive and friendly user database and delivers automatic, customized, and detailed reporting for the entire hospital medication workstation fleet.</p>
<p><strong>Mobility</strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><em><strong>Nursing staff</strong> </em>continue to praise the MX Workstation&#8217;s for their <span style="text-decoration: underline;">mobility and user interface</span>. The MX has a sturdy but minimal footprint with 4&#8243; polyurethane all swivel ball bearing wheels that offer smooth maneuverability on any surface (carpet, wood, laminate, or tile). The aluminum column offers mounting accessories for tablets or wire baskets, and offers convenient workstation heights with manual or electronic height adjust. With additional features like pull out keyboard, optional floor lighting, and ergonomic handles with anti-microbial properties, the <em>MX Medication Workstation</em> serves nursing staff the user interface they demand and deserve.</p>
<p><strong>Power Supply</strong></p>
<p>The <a title="Medication Workstations - American River Medical " href="http://testarm2.dependentmedia.com/laptop-carts-computer-workstations/mx35-mx40/" target="_blank">MX Medication Workstation medical cart</a> series offers AC, DC, and other power supply options. These features allow the hospital to tailor their medication workstations for their use, maintenance, and budget all maximizing their &#8220;Up Time&#8221; and value.</p>
<p><strong>Medication Bins</strong></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve learned over the last decade that no two hospital medication administration workflow systems are exactly the same. The<strong> MX Medication Workstation</strong> shines in it&#8217;s ability to offer multiple configurations of medication bins. This permits different nursing units to specify the medication bins to meet their unit&#8217;s needs; And optimize their <a title="point of care - American River Medical " href="http://testarm2.dependentmedia.com/laptop-carts-computer-workstations/" target="_blank"><strong>Point-of-Care medication administration</strong></a>.</p>
