We wanted to share a Best Practices for Mobile Carts post based on our client feedback and observations with these essential tools.

 

Inpect at the Start of the Shift

 

Charged up

Computer up

Scanner working

Badge Reader working and Log In

Check Connectivity

Wipe all surfaces down (sani-wipe) worksurface, handles, keyboard, keyboard tray, mouse, mouse pad area, barcode scanner

Wipe down Monitor Exterior (Note: Never wipe monitor screen with Sani Wipe or Alcohol Wipes…use water on Microfiber cloth) Check your Supplies   Common Supplies – Fill what is needed, excess supplies add more weight    making your Cart harder to push Special Supplies – Add what is needed Instruments  – Add what is needed for the shift

 

During the Shift

 

Plug in to top off battery when cart is not in use – even for 5 minutes extends  run time

Wipe down the cart after leaving each room

Keep cart out of main traffic areas in hallways

Watch where you are going with cart – adjust monitor to provide clear view  of your intended direction

Be Careful with cart going over thresholds into carpeted area or returning to hard surface flooring

Be very careful when entering and exiting elevators – some do not always align correctly with the floor

Turn off display or go to main screen when leaving Cart for long period of time

Face and engage patient / Family when Charting to increase Patient Experience

Try to resolve – sometimes a simple reboot works, plug the Cart in

Ask a co-worker for quick help

Report immediately to IT (open a Ticket)

Connectivity or Signal Drops – report to IT
