Cart computer

A cart computer is a full sized computer placed on or within a movable cart, and powered by a rechargeable battery. The cart is pushed around to where it is needed.

Computer carts (or "computers on wheels") are widely used within healthcare, where patient information can be taken to the point of care or bedside. The mobile computer cart allows immediate access to patient information, potentially speeding critical decision-making. Immediate access to computerized patient information may have other benefits includingdecreased medication errors, elimination of redundancies, and improvements to healthcare processes and workflow.
