March 4, 2008 – Artromick said last week it entered an exclusive referral agreement with McKesson Automation Inc. making Artromick McKesson’s vendor of choice for hospitals that need point-of-care mobile computing solutions to deliver its CarePoint Connect software.
McKesson’s CarePoint Connect integrates a hospital’s bar-code point-of-care (BPOC) system and pharmacy information system (PIS) with the AcuDose-Rx automated dispensing cabinets on a mobile medication cart at the patient’s bedside. The integration software gives nurses access from anywhere to key clinical information, reduces dispensing time at the medication cabinet by quickly identifying the location of each patient’s medications, ensures accuracy and saves nurses time on medication administration and clinical documentation.
Hospitals can choose from among Artromick’s line of mobile computing carts, including its latest workstation, the new NX10.
