We also have Stinger Medical wireless carts and have purchased tethered
scanners. We go live with BMV in August.

We use wireless carts and have the tethered scanners. Meditech is very
much aware of the desire to one day support handhelds for BMV and I
understand their development team is working towards that goal so maybe
one day!!!!
Thanks, Susan :-)

Hello Charlie:
There are hospitals that use wireless carts with BMV. However, there is
not the technology to use a hand-held such as a PDA with a scanner. Is
that what you are thinking of? Or, yes, you may be correct, that the
cart is wireless but the scanner is tethered. One word of caution
regarding the use of wireless bar code scanners. The nurses (of course
not technical) may try to use one scanner with several PC's, which will
not work.
I hope this information is helpful.
Have a great day.
Cindy

Our hospital has made the commitment to going wireless. I have been
given the task of identifying any special needs related to the e-MAR and
BMV. From what I understand, Meditech does not currently have a wireless
BMV; I've heard the first of the year, but does anyone know for sure?
Also, I thought that wireless hospitals were using the e-MAR and BMV. If
BMV is not wireless, how are the wireless hospitals out there doing BMV?
My guess is that the PC is wireless but the scanner is tethered to the
wireless PC? I don't know a whole lot about wireless, so any specifics
that I could take back to the committee would be helpful.
Thanks,
Charlie
