EnovateIT Partners with CareTech Solutions to Create a Custom Product for Crittenton Hospital Medical Center, One of the Nation's Most Wired Hospitals

Ferndale, MI (PRWEB) January 14, 2009

CareTech Solutions, an information technology (IT) services provider for hospitals and healthcare systems, partnered with EnovateIT, a national healthcare technology provider, to create a custom solution for Crittenton Hospital Medical Center's (CHMC) custom point-of-care needs.

CHMC and CareTech Solutions approached EnovateIT to create a custom solution that provides in-room electronic documentation rather than having to move carts from floor to floor. EnovateIT worked with CareTech Solutions alongside CHMC's caregivers to develop a wall mounted device that encompasses specific EMR needs while creating a more hotel type atmosphere. With a greater range of functionality and articulation, EnovateIT created the e645 Computing Wall Stations with a simple counterbalanced door system for easy patient confidentiality and limited wall space.

The e645 offers:

•     Space saving and information security through counter balanced doors for limited wall space and patient confidentiality.
•     Cable management: monitor, keyboard, & mouse cables secured underneath articulating arms and inside the cabinet.
•     Adjustable monitor height: monitor rail provides 9 1/2" of height adjustment, to reach optimal and ergonomic viewing positions
•     Adjustable viewing display and keyboard rotate independently for shared viewing allowing the clinician to face and share information with the patient.
•     Infection control: keyboard tray is powder coat anti-microbial paint, non-porous smooth and cleanable surfaces
•     Maximized CPU cooling configured to accommodate Crittenton's current hardware and future upgrades.

"EnovateIT delivered a simple and very effective solution that fits Crittenton Hospital Medical Center's needs perfectly," said Tom Ventimeglia, CareTech Solutions - Client Executive for CHMC, "We have worked with EnovateIT for a few years now and are consistently impressed with their services and products."

The CHMC, featured as one of the nation's 100 Most Wired Hospitals in 2008, utilizes advanced technological solutions such as document imaging and management, online charting and order management processes, a high-bandwidth local area network (LAN), and an IT-based disaster recovery plan. Custom technological solutions, such as EnovateIT's in-room electronic documentation has helped hospitals like CHMC improve patient safety and care.
