Medical Cart Management

Effective management of medical carts is virtually impossible with a manual system which often leads to the pharmacy losing control of their pharmaceuticals. By enabling the pharmacy and central supply departments to work in concert, Horizon Cart Controller ensures that medical carts are available for use and enables accurate charge capture. With an efficient and reliable medical cart workflow process in place, hospitals can better ensure patient safety during emergencies.
