The unSUMMIT 2010 Post-Conference Workshop*

Hands On and Heads Up: An unSUMMIT Lab Practical on Enabling Technologies for BPOC

After absorbing the unSUMMIT educational program, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to begin sculpting your BPOC implementations. Industry experts and a panel of hospital-based trailblazers who have been there and done that will discuss “make or break” issues they’ve conquered in forming their masterpieces (or works in progress!).

Then give your ears a break and interact with the enabling technologies – carts, scanners, printers, etc… – required to complete the picture.

Upon completing this session, attendees will be able to:

Outline the critical success factors in BPOC implementation.
List the pros and cons of various approaches to barcode scanning, mobile computing, printing labels, point-of-care computing deployment (cart vs. wallmount), medication packaging and patient identification technologies.
Identify real-world considerations in selecting enabling technologies.
Prepare “take-home” messages, including considerations in preparing your budget.

*Interactive, hands-on technology—NOT available for CE credit.
