The hospital made the switch because its nursing staff complained that the carts were too heavy and bulky to push around and too difficult to clean. Now the nurses are using the C5 devices to access a hospital information system, from Medical Information Technology Inc., Westwood, Mass. They also are using the bar-code scanner on the C5s to scan patient wristbands and medications to improve safety during medication administration.
Island Hospital has implemented the devices in its emergency department, medical/surgical floors and intensive care unit. For more information, go to motioncomputing.com.
