New Medication Expansion Pack Further Strengthens Rubbermaid Medical Solutions' Mobile Computing Line
Secure storage system helps hospitals and health systems maximize nursing efficiency and improve patient safety.
Huntersville, N.C., April 25, 2008 — Rubbermaid Medical Solutions (RMS), the leading provider of mobile carts and mobile computing solutions for healthcare facilities, today announced the launch of a Medication Expansion Pack for its M38 Mobile Computer Cart line. This secure storage system — which is available for the recently released M38 powered and non-powered computer carts — creates a "hybrid" of traditional computer and medication carts. With drawer configuration options between two and six, the Medication Expansion Pack supports recent legislation in California limiting patient to nurse ratios at 5-1 or less and offers patent pending on-the-go configurations.
"Our research shows there is a capacity and size gap between traditional computer and medication carts," said Jeff Chochinov, senior product manager for RMS. "One of the goals in creating this system was to eliminate that gap and provide a global platform that serves any part of a hospital."
Key features for the Medication Expansion Pack include:
- Multiple drawer sizes and configurations to meet user and unit specific needs
- Patent-pending drawer system allows on-the-go customization for changing patient ratios
- Advanced keyless entry system with wireless PIN code management
- Automatic drawer lock "time-out" for maximum security
- Accommodations for most bar code scanners
"This system is particularly well-suited for bedside documentation, bar code medication administration and cart fill or cabinet-based medication delivery," added Chochinov.
All RMS products are backed by a best-in-class service guarantee that includes onsite service the next business day if needed, service call backs within two hours, help desk support, and a dedicated Technical Account Manager and Field Engineer.
