Southern Ocean County Hospital adopts fully integrated,
ready-to-roll medication workstation solution from EnovateIT to
facilitate eMAR implementation. The med carts and medication
transfer system enhances clinical workflow and patient
interaction, resulting in improved patient care and satisfaction
on the med/surg floors.
Troy, MI -- Southern Ocean County Hospital (SOCH), a community
healthcare leader, reinforced its ongoing commitment to superior
performance by adopting electronic medication administration
record (eMAR). To facilitate this critical technology adoption,
the hospital worked closely with EnovateIT, the nation's leading
healthcare IT integrator, to create a mobile EMAR solution for
the point of care. |

The complete
solution -- comprised of a Rubbermaid Medical Solutions
medication cart, laptop, and infection control keyboard / mouse
-- helps clinicians on the medical / surgical floors more easily
transition from the paper-based medication administration to the
new Meditech electronic medication administration program. The
med cart solution enhances clinical workflow and patient
interaction, resulting in improved patient care and
satisfaction.
By utilizing the Rubbermaid carts our nurses are able to
document clinical information at the patient's bedside. They
have access to all of the patient's information and medication
right there.
An integral part of the solution is the Rubbermaid Medical
Solutions medication transfer system. This expansion module
system provides efficient, accurate medication transfer between
the hospital's pharmacy and the medication carts on the nursing
floors. Together, the transfer system and medication carts save
clinicians valuable time and energy.
Michelle Green, Clinical Informatics Specialist, stated, "By
utilizing the Rubbermaid carts our nurses are able to document
clinical information at the patient's bedside. They have access
to all of the patient's information and medication right there."
According to Green, "With the comprehensive wireless internet,
clinicians can now move throughout the unit with their carts and
have secure wireless access wherever they go."
"We worked closely with the clinical informatics specialists at
SOCH to come up with a complete solution tailored to their
specific requirements," declared Doug Gallacher, EnovateIT
regional sales manager. "With EnovateIT's integration service,
all of these components were assembled on-site, and the finished
devices were ready to roll out to the inpatient units." The
integration service allowed the hospital IT staff to focus on a
successful EMAR implementation.
EnovateIT will provide hands-on demonstrations of the Rubbermaid
Medical Solutions medication cart at ANIA in Las Vegas, April
27-28 and at AACN, May 22-24, in Atlanta.
