In December 2009, Healthcare Minister Klink, who is credited with introduction of electronic patient records in the Netherlands, visited Bronovo Hospital in The Hague to see Siemens's Soarian Electronic Patient File (EPF) software in action. Since the hospital had chosen RMS rolling computer carts for this milestone project, they too shared the spotlight—and the resulting good publicity.

Press coverage focused on workflow demonstrations presented to the minister and his advisors by Bronovo's project team leader. Advantages of the total solution, which included RMS carts to facilitate patient interactions, impressed the government officials.

Competition for this prestige project had been intense among every cart manufacturer and Dutch distributor. Bronovo's project team had a clear view of what they wanted before beginning its three-year search. The ensuing comprehensive evaluation of 20 different carts on wheels resulted in selection of RMS computer carts from Newell's Dutch distributor LogicalXL. According to a LogicalXL representative, RMS's cart won the bid because of its design, best overall mechanical stability, expected durability and its easy integration with laptops. The Bronovo team also expressed their appreciation of how LogicalXL added value throughout the entire project.
