Well, this is the season for many more things than just medication boxes but we just completed a new website which features JUST our medication boxes.

Our new Netlock, LAN-based, power over ethernet locking system is gaining significant traction in the industry. The word is out that we have THE solution to keep medications secure and auditable.

Another cool feature of the lock is that the lock combinations are controlled through a central database. The caregiver uses the same card as they "clock in" with and that they use to gain access to other areas of the facility. Now all the systems can be accessed using the same card. No more forgotten combinations or lost keys to access medications.

When the caregiver holds their card up to the medication box, the card reader records the user data and verifies permissions. If the caregiver has been authorized, the entry is recorded and sent to the administrator. If the caregiver does NOT have authorization, the attempted entry is also recorded and sent to the administrator. Now a facility can see who is trying to get into areas where they do not belong.

I've posted several links in the recent past in regards to our new network lock for our EMR workstations.

If you are attending HIMSS09 in Chicago, you are invited to view a LIVE demonstration of our network lock system featuring full audit trail and remote administration. Our booth is #4058.

Cygnus is proud to offer the most advanced locking system in the industry. The NetLock allows caregivers to access the cabinets while utilizing their existing prox cards. No keys to carry or codes to memorize. Get more information on our website. View a video of the NetLock in action HERE.

Cygnus now has a network-based lock solution as a security option for all of its wall mounted computer workstations. The networked lock will make it easier for the staff to access the cabinet with the simple swipe of a proximity card. The new lock will also make it easier to monitor access by creating a real-time audit trail for each cabinet.

One of the many great features of this lock system is the ease of administration. Users can be added and deleted, access restricted to certain floors, and much more all from a central location with the use of a simple software interface.

The lock is powered over the ethernet network (PoE) so there is no need for an additional power supply to be dropped by an electrician. Setup is simple due to the lock being a true IP device.

Caregivers need to enter health information at the point of care to help reduce errors. Our workstations are designed to help maximize floor space in a patient room or hallway. All of our cabinets have a range of security options from simple keyed locks to sophisticated networked locks which can be opened with the swipe of a prox card.

Security and privacy are important to you and it is to us too. While push button and keyed locks do the job, the administration of these options can be cumbersome and costly.

With our networked locking system the entire system of cabinets can be configured on one screen at the touch of a button. The cabinet can be opened with the swipe of a HID/prox card and records a complete audit trail and users can be added and deleted in seconds. This is going to change everything.
