Hi Ed,
I keep seeing various versions of this question asked and I finally
feel compelled to add my two cents worth! Anyone who believes that
either a COW or a PC in the room is a good solution for nurses using BMV
either does not have "RN" behind their name or does not understand the
needs of today's bedside nurse! This is not intended to be a slam on
anyone asking the question..... but rather is an expression of
frustration over the lack of adequate hardware solutions to meet the
demanding needs of nurses!
Any hardware that is anything less than small, very lightweight, easily
mobile, very durable, water-proof, cleanable, and fully capable of both
scanning barcodes and enabling full documentation in an easy to use,
simple, and quick format..... it NOT adequate! This, in my humble
opinion, is the biggest unmet need in the modern world of nursing.
(If you know of hardware solutions meeting the above criteria....
PLEASE let me know!)
Thanks,
Kenny Whiteside

Hi,
I wondered if anyone has any thoughts about using COWs vs. PCs in
the room for BMV? We have purchased COWs which gives us the mobile
option. I was wondering if other BMV sites prefer having PCs in the
patient room for BMV?
Thanks,
Ed
