Physicians need to consider both software and hardware – including the physical layout and equipment in their clinics.
Physician offices can be limited in space, and the Ergotron StyleView Sit Stand Enclosure is a wall-mounted computer workstation where the keyboard and LCD move in tandem. This offers 20” of smooth ergonomic height adjustment, allowing physicians or caregivers to move from a sitting to a standing position whenever needed while accessing critical patient data. The benefit is that it introduces greater efficiency and accuracy into treatment facilitation.
In Use
The Ergotron StyleView Sit Stand Enclosure is perfect for space-constrained rooms – patient or exam rooms – providing easy access to patient data and records. This very low-profile vertical lift folds into a slim, compact unit when not in use. It has a keyless locking mechanism to help protect patient data for compliance with privacy requirements.
It also has a unique cable management system to conceal and organize cords for safety and clean-ability. Its open architecture designs allows for future hardware upgrades.
Technology Employed
The Enclosure designs integrate Ergotron’s patented Constant Force (CF) lift-and-pivot motion technology. It is designed for smooth, easy adjustment of the displays, which measure 20.5” wide by 13.5” height and 2.5” deep.

Recap
The StyleView Sit-Stand Enclosure brings new life to patient data access and entry. The caregiver may simply adjust the unit to what the workflow demands—to a standing position for quick access or to a sitting position for longer interactions.
The choice allows the caregiver to acknowledge their individual body fatigue and easily adjust to help maintain energy and focus.
