Under terms of the agreement, IntelliDOT will provide optimized pricing for its handheld bar code patient safety technology, the CAREt™ System, to more than 2,100 Amerinet member hospitals nationwide.
The CAREt System is the first nurse-centered workflow manager to connect caregivers with the information systems they need at the point of care. Built on a design that complements the way nurses work, the CAREt System provides a straightforward user interface that supports a comprehensive approach to medication safety and documentation at bedside, in a variety of healthcare settings.

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, the CAREt Handheld guides the nurse 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.
