The new CRx software is tablet-based and designed for health care customers looking to improve facility efficiency, patient experience, emergency readiness and safety monitoring in compliance with The Joint Commission Life Safety, Environment of Care and Emergency Management standards. It is built to integrate with work order systems and offers the ability to plot assets on floor plans; a comprehensive document repository; detailed inspection checklists; and the capability to receive reports from third-party inspection vendors.

CRx is available as part of the Grainger Online SafetyManager, a suite of tools helping to make it easier for customers to manage, track and maintain critical workplace safety activity and information.
