Solution: Mobile PACS Reading Cart from First Healthcare Products
SUMMARY:
Mobile PACS Reading Cart from First Healthcare Products:
A high volume surgical healthcare organization contacted us through their providers to deploy a mobile PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) in the Operating Room suite so surgeons and other healthcare providers could read and review X-ray’s provided by patients via disc.
The viewing station needed to fit into a limited existing space, allow portability, and support the sterilization and infection control protocols that an Operating Room environment demands.
Collaborating with the operating room medical providers and organization employees, First Healthcare Products design engineers determined the precise size and other specific requirements to create a mobile PACS Reading cart to meet the unique needs of the client. The easily portable, yet durable, cart included a small footprint with an antimicrobial coating for infection prevention.
First Healthcare Products designed the custom cart and obtained client approval for manufacture.
The First Healthcare Products Mobile PACS Reading Cart was built to fully meet the unique design specifications.
.
OUTCOME:
The custom Mobile PACS Reading Cart provided a streamlined solution for the surgeons and medical providers to view patient delivered X-Rays.
Timely access for Viewing X-rays avoided delays and interruptions to the OR schedule.
Staff and personnel were able to easily transport the mobile cart to various OR locations within the facility.
Patient satisfaction was improved by eliminating redundant X-Rays or an inability to read the CD immediately.
The OR personnel were highly satisfied with the custom solution and orders were placed for additional complimentary carts to hold trays and supplies.
