Because of a shortage of staff for materials management the Delta Regional Medical Center of Greenville hired EMMA, the “Electronic Materials Management Associate”, a Pyxis product from Cardinal Health.
She may not be the sexiest nurse around, but EMMA delivers the goods (such as pharmaceutical supplies, meals, lab samples, supplies, etc) throughout the hospital (including elevator rides) while politely informing people when they are obstructing her duties. 24 hours a day.
