Clinical Assistant
Healthcare organizations are increasingly challenged to reduce medical errors and improve patient outcomes while cutting costs and boosting the productivity of clinical staff. The focus of many of these efforts is the nursing station—the busy crossroads where physician orders, patient care and facility management converge. But with chronic nurse shortages and increasing job pressures, the need for new tools that increase staff productivity and free up more time for quality patient care is critical.
The Lexmark Clinical Assistant is a Lexmark X646dte monochrome laser multifunction printer (MFP), pre-loaded with custom embedded healthcare-specific applications to simplify clinical workflow processes. Custom healthcare functions are all easily accessed through icons on the MFP' s userfriendly eTask touchscreen interface, allowing clinical staff to complete complicated workflow processes with a single touch—and without special training.

Orders Routing
Many Healthcare organizations today rely on their fax and phone when it comes to executing prescriptions or medical orders.
