TROY, MI – January 04, 2007 – As hospitals adopt electronic health record applications, they also need to bring the technology to the patient's bedside to realize the full benefits of the system. Healthcare institutions are faced with three major issues when implementing these technologies: patient confidentiality, ergonomics and infection control. Hospitals must overcome these hurdles in order to have successful deployments. Clinician input regarding these hurdles, gathered over years of consulting, provided EnovateIT - one of the nation's leading healthcare integrators - the impetus to create this distinctive, clinician-friendly wall computing station series that help resolve these challenges.
The new Wall Mounted Workstation addresses the three major concerns of clinicians. Patient confidentiality is maintained by the automatic LCD monitor shut-off when the keyboard tray is closed. This break-through technology is the first of its kind used in the healthcare venue. Proper ergonomics are achieved by 12 inches of height adjustability with the push of a button. The glass monitor enclosure, coupled with medical grade keyboard and mouse, provides an infection control environment.
The workstation's attractive fine furniture design complements today's healthcare movement to a more patient-friendly environment. These workstations come in a wide variety of wood grain and laminate colors that meet hospital design criteria. Additional features include secure computer mounting that helps deter theft, as well as an optional auto-retracting keyboard shelf.
Fred Calero, EnovateIT Vice President, stated, “Our purpose in developing the Wall Mounted Workstation Series was to provide clinicians with an easily accessible, secure computing station that would help improve data accuracy, patient safety and clinician efficiency.”
