Q: I am beginning to investigate a new POS system. I have 5 shops, so I need something that is robust enough for multi locations and includes solid inventory management. I’d like to ask other hospitals what systems they are using. I’ve been interested in a cloud-based system, but am concerned this will not be acceptable to our hospital IS team due to security issues. Thank you, Patty Tager, Retail Services Manager, El Camino Hospital
