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. Pricing and
