Justification Narrative:

This workstation is specifically designed to ensure full interoperability with GE systems, optimizing workflow efficiency, enhancing patient monitoring accuracy, and maintaining consistency with manufacturer-recommended configurations.

• GCX MC Series Mobile Fetal Monitoring Workstation supports dual displays and additional accessories, enabling simultaneous access to fetal monitoring, electronic health records (EHR), and Barcode medication administration (BCMA) which allows nurses to scan a patient's wristband at bedside and medication to be given in order to prevent medication errors. The workstation must support adjustable dual displays and accommodate storage for UPS.

• The workstations are adjustable, lightweight and maneuverable allowing easy transport between patient rooms and ensuring continuous monitoring where needed. Must be able to transport with ease to the Emergency Department and Family Care Unit when fetal monitoring is ordered and needed for registered patients in those departments.

• The Fetal Monitor Cart has a space-saving design and allows integration oflT components and accessories to create a single, efficient workstation, which can include Novii+ wireless patch system, which is currently used in the Birthing Center. The workstation must accommodate additional accessories such as the GE Mini Telemetry, Barcode Scanner, and Gel Bottle Holder.

• GE specifically recommends these workstations because they are constructed with medical-grade materials ensuring durability, safety, and compliance with healthcare standards, such as Joint Commission.
