Smart cabinets promote accountability
Hospitals can gain a powerful tool for managing expensive physician preference items (PPIs) such as stents, pacemakers, implants and orthopedic supplies by using McKesson radio frequency identification (RFID) cabinets to automate inventory control. A nurse can simply scan a badge, select the correct patient case with needed supplies and then go on rounds. The cabinet does the rest. Its built-in, low-touch technology automatically captures the supply data and updates the clinical case and inventory. Visit McKesson
Clinical communications made easy
PerfectServe has launched a new patient-centered routing feature for its PerfectServe platform that makes it easy for hospital staff to contact the correct physician caring for a given patient, at any moment in time, just by knowing the patient’s name. Using either the EMR or PerfectServe’s patient assignment application, physicians can easily enable communication processes that filter interactions based upon patient identity. Hospital staff can access PerfectServe over the phone, the Web or mobile app. Visit PerfectServe
