Nurse call system

a nursing call system is a wireless pc base nurse call system that is widely used in the service areas of hospitals and so on. It consists of a wireless calling unit for patient use and a signal receiver for nurse use. When the patient needs any service, they can press the button on the bed, the bed number will be shown on the RECEIVER. So the nurse could offer service very timely. wireless calling system nurse information process The wireless calling system greatly reduces the work intensity of medical staff and the quality of medical care has been greatly improved, It is the only nurse call system on the market that combines a nurse call system with healthcare management and nursing documentation in one device. The system’s communication is based on the Internet protocol and meets the highest security requirements, Different system connection options allow for wide installation possibilities in existing or new buildings. At the same time, it is possible to connect the existing nurse call systems of any brand and use the existing installation in the building.

While modern development has enabled nurse call systems to do more, we have traditional components that are always a must. We have explained them below.

Master Station

The master station is usually located at the nurse station, out of the seeing and hearing range of patients. It allows for the visible and audible annunciation of calls. The master station has two primary pieces of equipment to enable this function.

• A telephone handset with an LCD screen
• A PC-based central console with telephony capabilities

The central console helps in prioritizing calls and checking call status and room numbers. It can track and display the time of call initiation. The hospital could also program it for call reminders based on a pre-determined time for call attendance.

Room Stations

A room station is a station that allows patients or staff to signal for assistance. Communication is usually initiated by the simple press of a button or the pull of a cord. It could signal for nurse assistance or code blue. FGI specifies the type of communication needed in each type of room.

Primarily, this station is located at the patient's bedside. The button is usually on the pillow speaker. The speaker can have other functions like temperature, television, and lighting control. Other advanced functions can also be connected to the patient station to monitor bed rail position and medical equipment.

However, the FGI has identified other positions like the toilet station, shower station, and caregiver-initiated station, which we will discuss below.

·         TOILET STATION

This station is a simple pull cord that allows patients to seek assistance for getting on or off the toilet. It should be located strategically such that patients can activate it while lying down in the case of a fall.

·         SHOWER STATION

This station is similar to the toilet station. The difference lies in the fact that the station is designed to handle the wet environment of a shower.

·         CAREGIVER-INITIATED STATION

This station is usually a wall-mounted push button and allows caregivers to call for help from the master station. FGI only requires it in certain types of rooms.

Call devices in a room station come in different shapes and sizes. Some are cord sets with adapters, while others are pendant style with a push-button switch. The wall-mounted devices with push buttons and lights are the most common, though. FGI can give you more insight into what's best for your facility.

Duty and Staff Stations

These stations are usually located in hallways and other remote areas that a caregiver could access. There are strategically placed for caregivers to know of calls even when they are in break rooms, nourishment stations, linen rooms, and other such areas.

A duty station has an audible and visual indication of an initiated call. On the other hand, a staff station provides two-way voice communication along with the functions of the duty station. Duty stations are no longer widely manufactured, though. Most manufacturers produce staff stations and market them as duty/staff stations.

The station can either show the specific patient calling or allow the caregiver to communicate with the master station to maintain confidentiality.

Dome Lights

These multi-colored LEDs are placed in front of every room with a call initiation station. It makes response time faster as nurses can quickly locate the room needing help. Other than expediting response time, dome lights can also communicate additional messages to nurses or caregivers. Some of that information includes;

• A different color for each type of emergency
• Flashing patterns or pulsing to distinguish the level of need
• Used with staff locator technology to show the type of caregiver in the room

Dome lights are usually mounted where they can be seen from the nurse station for maximum effectiveness. Where this is not possible, zone lights are used for quicker location till the specific room is seen.
