IntelliDOT™ Corp. Announces the CAREt™ Breast Milk Matching System (BMM) to Assure Safe and Accurate Feedings in Hospital Nurseries
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - June 25, 2007) - IntelliDOT™ Corporation, an innovator in
patient safety and
workflow management solutions for healthcare, today announced the CAREt™
Breast Milk Matching (BMM) System. The BMM Module electronically matches
milk containers brought to the neonatal ICU by the mother and assures they
are fed to the correct infant. The new product announcement was made at the
AWHONN 2007 Convention; June 23 to 27 in Orlando FL. IntelliDOT will
demonstrate the technology in booth #1235.
The CAREt BMM System allows the caregiver to label breast milk when the
mother drops it off at the intensive care nursery and then matches it to
the correct infant at feeding time using bar code scanning technology. The
breast milk matching product is designed to compliment IntelliDOT's
existing platform of patient safety solutions. The CAREt BMM Module
utilizes the same wireless handheld device as other IntelliDOT modules and
prints patient-specific feeding sheets.
"IntelliDOT is dedicated to providing our customers with point-of-care
technology solutions that are easy to use, streamline the daily workload,
and address specific problems that nurses experience -- such as the
confusion that can occur with multiple mothers dropping off milk for their
hospitalized infant," said Vicki McKendrick, RN, Director of Patient Safety
for IntelliDOT. "The CAREt BMM System allows nurses to work efficiently at
the bedside while assuring safe and accurate patient care."
The CAREt BMM Module further enhances IntelliDOT's platform of patient
safety solutions, all designed to enhance the organization of workflow at
the bedside. The CAREt Handheld guides the nurse through all required
tasks, automatically queuing critical tasks, and displaying information for
action in a straightforward manner. The CAREt System also eliminates a
significant amount of time required for charting of patient records at the
end of a shift, as the system captures information electronically during
the course of the day.
About the CAREt System™
The CAREt System is the first nurse-centered workflow manager to connect
caregivers with the information systems they need at the point-of-care.
Designed to complement the way nurses work, the handheld CAREt System is
simple to use and provides nurses with a single, wireless tool for
medication safety and documentation at the bedside.
The integrated hardware and software solution provided by IntelliDOT
results in a cost-effective "smart hardware" system for hospitals looking
for a customized design for caregivers at the bedside. By simply scanning a
patient wristband, nurses are prompted by the CAREt Handheld tool through
all required medication administration and documentation tasks that have
accumulated for a patient. Information is clear, organized, and delivered
right into the caregiver's hand, right when it's needed.
