Medication Workstation – Mobile Solution Spotlight

Chandler, AZ USA – Medication Workstations are a specific type of medical carts used throughout hospitals. Departments include but are not limited to: patient floors, Med-Surg, Telemetry, ICU (NICU, CCU, CVICU), ED, and more. Medication Workstations enable professional healthcare staff to provide and account for the administration of medications to patients. Medication workstation systems have five major components that accomplish this: Software, Medication Bins, Computing Interface, eMAR Scanning Gun, and Mobility (wheels). These five primary features of the medication workstation bring the medication administration to the patient; Or, “Point-of-Care“.

Our “Mobile Solution Spotlight” for May is the MX Series Medication Workstation by Capsa Solutions.
