I have researched the criteria for selecting a Mobile Cart for Hospitals and Healthcare Systems. I have polled our local clienbts and posted questions to HIMSS too. This is the results of my findings.
My questions were: What is the criteria in selecting a Mobile Cart or RX Cart? Who drives the decision? Who has input on the decision?
The nursing staff should express their needs/feedback about Mobile Carts through representatives. The IT Departments needs to provide input as to supporting a device on the network and Biomed department gets involved (in some cases) in supporting the batteries. Now becoming more mainstream, some institutions are on their 2nd or 3rd generation of carts. History of using these carts creates a wish list for future purchases, to make the staff’s jobs easier.
