Gateway Now Offers a Range of Computing Solutions for the Medical Industry
IRVINE, Calif., June 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Simplifying the
purchase and implementation of technology for healthcare professionals,
Gateway is now making it easier than ever for hospitals and medical offices
to outfit their facilities with computing solutions that increase
efficiencies and enhance patient care.
Beginning immediately, MedicWare(R) Electronic Medical Record software
can be purchased with several Gateway PCs that are ideally suited for the
healthcare market -- the thin and light Gateway(R) E-155C convertible
notebook, the all-in-one Gateway Profile(R) 6 desktop, and the scalable,
space-saving Gateway E-2610N desktop.
MedicWare EMR software provides secure on-the-go access to patient
information and eliminates costly documentation errors, enabling physicians
and their staff to focus on their patients instead of paperwork.
Gateway's 4.5 pound, 1.17-inch thin(1) convertible notebook featuring
both a keyboard and touch screen display is ideal for healthcare
professionals, as are its small form factor desktops that minimize clutter.
The combination of these small compact designs with powerful technologies
makes them ideal for reception desks, administrative offices and nurses'
stations.
"Healthcare providers are quickly embracing IT technology, realizing it
can deliver a demonstrable benefit to their bottom line while also helping
to improve patient services," said John Costello, Gateway vice president of
segment marketing. "PC hardware and medical software have become just as
important as stethoscopes and blood pressure monitors. Implemented the
right way, their impact on office efficiency and staff productivity can be
immeasurable, especially when it allows physicians to spend more quality
time with patients."
Electronic Medical Record Software Enhances Patient Care
MedicWare EMR centralizes patient medical records and streamlines the
diagnosis and treatment processes, improving overall office efficiencies.
The centralization of patient information helps eliminate errors such as
misread prescriptions or missed drug allergies, and provides doctors with
easy access to patient records while they are out of the office.
Physicians and staff personnel can efficiently and cost-effectively
manage appointments, insurance plan information, office visits and
examinations, medical histories, lab results, medications and
prescriptions.
Interfacing with most practice management and reference laboratory
systems, MedicWare is fully CMS and HIPAA compliant, helping medical
practices stay current and compliant with industry standards and
regulations.
Convertible Notebook Maximizes Productivity
Gateway's convertible notebook provides healthcare professionals with
the benefits of tablet computing. With touch input and wireless
connectivity, this lightweight, durable system offers the ease of a medical
clipboard.
Highly secure, the UPEK(R) biometric fingerprint reader helps maintain
patient confidentiality and HIPAA compliance.
The ultimate productivity tool for professionals in the medical
industry, doctors, nurses and technicians can use the Gateway E-155C to
access patient information, medical or back office applications and
multimedia content. Tablet functionality makes it easy to enter handwritten
notes on medical charts or to annotate or draw on digital images or
diagrams.
Gateway customer Plum Medical Group in Nebraska attributes their use of
wireless tablets to an overall increase in effectiveness and safety. Their
physicians are able to instantly access drug and allergy interaction
information as they move from room to room visiting with patients.
Lexington Memorial Hospital in North Carolina is using the digital pen for
direct data input in conjunction with voice recognition software and a
high-speed wireless network to eliminate external transcription services.
Both have found migrating to a tablet-based system has made sense in
virtually all aspects of clinical and hospital life.
All-in-One PC Simplifies the Front and Back Office
Optimized for business customers, the Profile 6 all-in-one desktop PC
provides a substantial cost-savings thanks to a design that is highly
serviceable, as well as easy to manage and deploy. It integrates all the
components of a traditional desktop, including a LCD monitor and stereo
quality speakers in a single unit.
Ideal for medical environments, its sleek design offers many
advantages. It can easily fit onto a rolling cart to be transported between
work areas quickly and easily. Perfect for space-constrained areas where
aesthetics are important, its small design maximizes workspace, reduces
cumbersome and unsightly cables and offers a polished, clutter-free look.
This all-in-one is as welcome on a physician's desk as it is at a reception
desk, medical lab or nurses' station.
In fact, Lexington Memorial Hospital in North Carolina has outfitted
their nurses' stations with the space-saving Profile desktops due to their
small footprint. Extra real estate at these stations is highly valuable,
and the nurses are thrilled to have more work space. They are using the
all-in-one PCs primarily to input patient information and to access medical
records. Not only are they impressed with the convenience of the systems,
they like the larger LCD screens, which allow them to view more information
without scrolling.
Based on Intel's 945G chipset and configurable with a 17-inch or
19-inch detachable LCD display for easy serviceability, the Gateway Profile
6 offers processing power up to Intel(R) Pentium(R) D dual core and 2GB
DDR2 memory. It comes with a wide choice of desktop optical drives, SATA
II-300 hard drives, IEEE 1394 ports as well as optional integrated
802.11b/g wireless. Its ergonomic design offers a height/tilt adjustable
LCD, integrated stereo speakers, and front access to the optical and
floppy/media reader drives, power button, audio jacks and USB ports.
Minimize Clutter While Maintaining Stability and Consistency
Highly customizable and scalable, the E-2610N's small form factor
minimizes clutter while providing a highly stable and consistent platform.
This desktop is essential for work environments that require a space-saving
design and the latest technology. Its feature set is ideal for medical
offices concerned with performance and serviceability as much as with cost.
From entry-level to high-end mainstream, it can be tailored to fit any
environment and allows for future expansion. Optimized for Microsoft
Windows Vista(TM), it features the Intel(R) 945 chipset, a choice of
Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo dual-core processors, three BTX case options and a
choice of hard drives at an affordable price.
Shared components with other Gateway E-Series desktops reduce the total
cost of ownership, allowing IT departments to maximize their budget while
minimizing their spare parts inventory.
