Anyone working with Nursing and Nursing workflow, I'm new to this position and my first task is to look at devices to help the nursing staff.
We are in the process of going back on-line documentation with Nursing and are going to begin with BMV. My question is what is the better way to go, using a hard wired in patient room computer or a COW. I'm concerned about using the COW with multiple med drawers due to size and weight and the fact that I know of some facilities that purchased COWs and now they are pushed into corners not being used. From your experience, what would you use if you looked at workflow and not the financial side. If you are hardwired, are the nurses using the device in the room or are they going outside the room to do the documentation? If you are using COWs, are they being used and what type of cart are you using, one with multiple drawers or one with maybe one or two drawers. The last of my questions is; what type of scanner/imager are you using? Are you using Meditech's recommended version that has to be hard wired or are you using a wireless system that then has be to be interfaced into Meditech? Is anyone using the Motion C5 that was recommended in another listing? Thank you very much for your input.
