Custom Computer Workstation Design Options
From Proximity Systems – Computer Workstation Designer, Engineering Firm & Manufacturer
“With the Proximity WorkStation, the monitor and keyboard section swivels away from the unit to a position where you’re actually standing in front of the patient, yet the way it’s designed you really are not taking up any more of a footprint in the room when you are using it as when you are not using it. Really, really an ingenious design.”
-- Tracy Morrison, Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, Senior IT Infrastructure Designer
“In addition to ease of access, one of the most important features of the locking system has been the capability to have an audit trail on who has accessed a medication box. Each person uses his or her badge, so the report gives us a unique identifier and a time stamp. It’s easy to pull a report when needed and know exactly who accessed the med box when.”
-- Ley Samson, Senior Director of IT&S, Clear Lake Medical Center, Webster TX
