Layering a virtually transparent network management solution onto the Core Package, the Extended Package brings wireless capabilities (802.11a/b/g) and eLearning modules to the Hospira MedNet system. In addition, the Extended Package offers interoperability with BPOC systems to support 5-Rights Verification of IV infusions and eMAR documentation.
- Real-time data capture
- Real-time drug library updates
- Real-time asset tracking
- Real-time 5-Rights Verification and eMAR documentation
- Remote system administration
