The Clinical Assistant includes all the functions of a Lexmark X646dte monochrome laser multifunction product plus embedded applications to simplify healthcare workflow processes.

The unique capabilities of the Clinical Assistant are accessed via four icons on its eTask touchscreen interface. These icons allow clinical staff to complete complicated, time-consuming processes with a single touch, increasing productivity and saving time.

The four workflow solutions featured on the Clinical Assistant include scan to electronic medical records, physician order routing, card copying, and forms on demand.

Lexmark’s Embedded Solutions Framework allows these Java-based applications to run directly on the Clinical Assistant, saving customers the expense of additional servers.

The Lexmark Clinical Assistant prints at speeds up to 50 pages per minute and also includes copy, scan and fax capabilities. It will be available for an estimated street price of $3,699 from April 24, 2007.
