This year we’ll have a demo of our Sentinel RCM Mobile Manager handheld device.  It’s a device we built on the Symbol MC70 platform and is the first Windows-based product we’ve released.  We were able to leverage some nice libraries that let us provide some really fast searching on large numbers (65,000+) of drugs.  The product provides a lot of functionality for pharmacy users without them having to march back and “tether” their device to a machine or docking station.  Ordering product, checking prices, receiving product, and reconciling inventory can all be done wirelessly.  Catalog updates and software upgrades are downloaded automatically each night when the unit is docked for recharging.

We’re also showing the latest updates to our HealthBIT business intelligence tool.  We’ve seriously upgraded the Report Builder (formerly named Query Builder) functionality which provides a really nice step-by-step graphical method of building reports to access the data we collect for the application.  All you need is a web browser and you can drag and drop your way to assembling really powerful reports, choosing outputs, and then sharing these reports to other users in your organization.

This is my first time visiting Las Vegas and being how I don’t gamble, am married, and promised my wife that I wouldn’t go to any Cirque shows without her until we could come back together, there’s not much for me to do here.  Probably good that I have to go through budgets for next year during downtime.  I have to say the Venetian hotel is really massive by any standard, and the room I’m in is probably the biggest I’ve ever stayed in.  One surprise is the weather: roughly 34 degrees out right now which seems COLD to me for a desert, but what do I know?

Stop by the booth to say hello if you’re interested!
