Hospitals
Hospital nurse call systems must offer more than the ability for a patient to call for a nurse.
These systems are now about total solutions to improving hospital performance. Performance is
identified as improving efficiency in terms of hospital goals (rounding, reducing time to answer
calls, tracking staff performance using metrics), improving staff satisfaction, and improving
patient satisfaction.
The hospital nurse call system must be flexible enough to adapt to future needs and to allow for integration to future systems, while being UL® 1069 Listed. Reporting capabilities allow hospital staff to not only track efficiency, but they protect both the patient and staff by providing solid data in the event of a problem. Aesthetics, durability and ease of use are a consideration in the hospital market, along with corridor lighting and pleasant sounds.
Alerting devices such as pagers, wireless phones and smart phone notification increase mobility and productivity—by sending calls to them almost instantaneously. Nurse call systems that interface with hospital information systems, such as admit, discharge, transfer systems, are highly effective in supporting efficient patient care by providing detailed patient information. Furthermore, tracking hospital patients, staff and assets using tracking software results in enhanced workflow and improved patient care.
