Why a Custom Crafted Computer Workstation from Proximity Systems
Proximity Systems – Computer Workstation Designer, Engineering Firm & Manufacturer
Healthcare Providers
- Strategically positioned WorkStations in patient rooms, exam rooms, ER's, ICU's, OR's and other areas move technology and information near the point of care, reducing the effort and time to get data, and can improve work flow and reduce staff fatigue.
- Ergonomic design makes using the workstation comfortable and personal. Features such as a floating keyboard, a spacious work surface, and a tilting monitor as well as swivel and adjustable height options allow you to adjust the workstation to fit your exact needs.
- Stationary design with ergonomic features reduces workplace injuries and takes up a fraction of the space of traditional work-area solutions.
- Secured medication and/or supplies storage, and/or scanner can be added to WorkStations.
- Position work space for comfort and ergonomic functionality. Adjustable height option for sitting or standing ensures ease of use.
- Swivel option allows you to position monitor/keyboard so you can interact with the patient while working.
- Protect patients’ privacy. Retracting doors cover monitors so records are not exposed. Lockable compartments keep equipment, documents, medication secure. Reliable keyless locks and Patent Pending LAN based locking systems available.
- Curved edges protect from scrapes and bruises and improve hygiene.
IT Professionals
- Custom crafted to fit computers, monitors, scanners, extras like UPS and isolation transformers, patient monitoring devices and other technology from virtually any vendor, networking or wireless applications and room for expansion can be accommodated.
- WorkStations protect from damage and tampering with doors that can auto-retract and lock. Numerous
locking options are available. - WorkStations are designed to maximize air flow throughout the enclosure by allowing fresh air to enter in the lower chamber, rise, and freely expel from the upper chamber.
- All wires can be organized within the workstation. A cable management channel is installed in each workstation to route cables from keyboards, monitors, your computer mouse, and other peripherals to each compartment. This attention to detail, including the use of spiral wraps that protect cables from pinch-points, eliminates unsafe and unsightly exposed wires.
Architects and Equipment Planners
- Curved edges, sloped tops and smooth lines give a sleek, sophisticated furniture look rather than a look of intimidating equipment.
- Hundreds of finishes available to match, complement or contrast any décor.
- Can be custom designed to accommodate virtually any vendor's equipment.
- Narrow profile frees corridors and high traffic spaces from dangerous clutter and obstacles and promotes an open, comfortable area. Also can be recessed into wall with custom trim.
- Furniture-grade craftsmanship boasts sturdiness and durability.
"We chose Proximity Workstations also, in part, because they enhance the décor and are aesthetically pleasing in our private rooms. If we could put them in every room, we would."

Healthcare Facility Engineers and Maintenance Staff
- Simple-to-use products that are easy to install and require minimal maintenance.
- Auto-retracting surfaces mean no carts and/or tables to consume space and clutter hallways. Reduced obstructions speeds egress in an emergency.
- Stationary design reduces the risk of the spread of infection inherent with mobile alternatives.
- Durable and built to last with laminate finishes that are easy to clean and sanitize.
- Proximity Systems' use of curved edges provides an added dimension of safety by eliminating any sharp corners that can come into contact with the user during routine use.
- With Proximity Systems’ hinge design assembly, the work surface has been tested by Southwestern Laboratories, an independent laboratory, and certified to exceed functional proof requirements of ANSI/BIFMA X5.5 static load test of 66 lbs for 60 minutes and a proof load test of 100 lbs for 15 minutes. The work surface actually exceeded a proof load of 400 lbs with no resulting damage.
- Edges painted with ScrubTough, a solid color eggshell paint with anti-microbial additive that is up to ten times more durable than residential grade acrylic latex paint.
Pharmaceutical Staff
- Storing medications and supplies at the bedside enhance patient safety and improve the efficiency and quality of care by moving the medication administration workflow process to the point of care.
- State-of-the-art locking solutions ensure safety and security.
"We purchased about 800 units in 1996. By in large, in 2011, they look exactly the same as when I put them up. With all the wear and tear and linen and food carts going down the hall, banging on them, that’s amazing! Aesthetically, they have held up very well."
