TekTone® will exhibit at American College of Health Care Administrators’ (ACHCA) 50th Annual Convocation & Exposition, April 16-20, 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Nearly 350 administrators, executives, and other leaders in post-acute care and aging services will “Celebrate 50 Years of Legendary Leadership” as they gather to network, learn and celebrate award winners.

Attendees will have the opportunity to earn 20.5 continuing education credits (21.5 for those who have earned ACHCA professional certification or Fellow status) as they take part in a selection of over 40 educational sessions. Educational session topics focus on resident centered care, human resources, finance, environment, leadership and management, assisted living and mentoring. Kevin Reilly, former NFL player, will deliver the keynote address, “Leading in Times of Adversity,” on Sunday, April 17. Mr. Reilly’s struggle began in 1976 when a tragic chain of events ended his NFL football career – and almost ended his life.

In addition, attendees will visit with over 50 of the leading product and service companies dedicated to providing the latest cost-effective and state-of-the-art resident care solutions. ACHCA will also hold two Idea Exchange sessions which offer a unique educational opportunity for face to face interaction between conference participants and industry experts about innovative care and service concepts. The Idea Exchange spotlights creative solutions to challenges in long term care while creating a network for ongoing collaboration and problem solving.

Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) are health care facilities that offer patients the convenience of having surgeries and procedures performed safely outside the hospital setting. This trend in healthcare is a growing new market and TekTone has designed our systems to offer valuable nurse and emergency call capabilities to ASC patients.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC), also known as Life Plan Communities, are designed for seniors who are currently living independently, but want the safety and security of being cared for as they age without having to relocate. As a resident’s health declines, he or she may transition from an independent living residence to assisted living, to an intermediate or skilled nursing facility—all on one campus. TekTone offers systems specialized in adapting to the changing needs of CCRCs, while keeping resident’s safety and security a top priority.

A skilled nursing facility (nursing home, convalescent home, care home or rest home) provides a place of residence for those who require continuous nursing attention. Services available in skilled nursing facilities include assistance of nurses, nursing aides and assistants; physical, occupational and speech therapists; social workers, recreational assistants; and living space. In some instances, residents may reside in skilled nursing facilities to receive rehabilitation or other therapy following an illness or accident.

Assisted living / independent living facilities usually have a campus-wide call system so a resident can notify caregivers by initiating a call from a personal pendant or emergency button press/pull. The systems specified for these types of facilities are usually referred to as emergency call systems or personal emergency response systems. Call system requirements in assisted/independent living vary, but may be mandatory in some states. Assisted living facilities may prefer a combination of Tek-CARE wireless and wired technology, with pull-cord stations, call buttons and wireless pendants to ensure staff members are notified efficiently and quickly.

Nurse call systems for hospitals, microhospitals and cancer centers must offer more than the ability for a patient to call for a nurse. These systems are now about total solutions to improving facility performance. Performance is identified as improving efficiency in terms of facility goals (rounding, reducing time to answer calls, tracking staff performance using metrics), improving staff satisfaction, and improving patient satisfaction.
