hcare and Hospital Grade PDA’s

 

 

The SoMo® 650Rx is a hospital-grade handheld computer made with antimicrobial materials that provide an extra layer of protection against the multiplication and spread of potentially harmful bacteria and microbes.

 

The President has made it very clear that he intends to update the aging healthcare system, specifically transitioning the antiquated medical chart recording system over to electronic medical records (EMR), and his stimulus package addresses that fact by introducing a multimillion dollar incentive for hospitals and clinics to make the change.

 

Electronic Medical Records have been shown to significantly improve hospital performance and reduce medical errors. For the newer generation of healthcare providers, this is a dream come true. Physicians and support staff (Physician Assistant’s, Nurse’s) can do all patient documentation on a touch screen tablet or PDA.

 

The COO of NY Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Steven Corwin was quoted as saying, “when we put electronic ordering in place, all our physicians having to do electronic ordering, our medication errors went down by 80%.”

 

The reduction in medication errors is simply astounding. Aside from the lucrative financial benefits that hospitals and clinics stand to receive, the Hospital staff; Physicians, Physician Assistant’s, and Nurse’s are tooled for success as well. It has been cited that the working atmosphere has improved while productivity has increased and errors have decreased.

 

The SoMo 650Rx is by far the most extraordinary Hospital Grade PDA on the market today. The SoMo 650Rx is easy to customize with a wide range of bar code scanners, RFID readers, and communications peripherals based on the CF, SD or Bluetooth interface. Software drivers and utilities are pre-loaded on the SoMo 650Rx, so you can deploy out of the box with your favorite Socket peripheral. The device’s rich Bluetooth implementation enables you to connect to Socket hand-held and hands-free scanning solutions along with hundreds of readily available 3rd party Bluetooth peripherals.

 

This PDA benefits you is many ways, for example:

·                          Capture patient vitals, view lab reports and write up reports at the point of care

·                          Identify high-risk patients who need the most care, more quickly

·                          Reduce costly paper-based errors that can result in liability

·                          Spend more time with patients and more time providing high-quality patient care

 

 

This PDA Features

·                          Windows Mobile® 6 operating system

·                          Durable, lightweight, ergonomic handheld design

·                          Fast roaming Wi-Fi® 802.11b/g switches seamlessly between access points

·                          Bluetooth® 2.0 + EDR Class 2 wireless connectivity

·                          Optionally configurable to read bar code and RFID data

·                          Deployment ready system, designed to run out of the box

 

 

The SoMo 650Rx has quickly become the device of choice among hospital and clinic staff, including the St. Clair Hospital Pittsburgh and many hospitals around the globe.

 

The Socket Communication SoMo 650Rx is sold in a few select locations, including Dell, Mobile Phone Bazaar, and PC Connection. The lowest price of which was found at Mobile Phone Bazaar, who also had the product in stock and shipped immediately. Dell and PC Connection were both out of stock, had higher overall prices and prices didn’t include sales tax.
