  • Revolutionizing Patient Care: Hospitals Switch to Wireless Nurse Call Systems

    Hospitals are constantly looking for ways to improve patient care and streamline operations. One area in which many hospitals are making changes is in their nurse call systems. In the past, wired nurse call systems were the norm, but now many hospitals are switching to wireless systems.

    Wired nurse call systems use physical buttons or cords that patients or staff can press to alert nurses to their needs. These systems have been in use for many years and have been a reliable way for patients to communicate with the nursing staff. However, wired systems have several drawbacks. They can be expensive to install and maintain.

    Wireless nurse call systems, on the other hand, use radio frequency technology to transmit signals from patients’ rooms to nursing stations. These systems are much more flexible and easier to install than wired systems. They also do not require any physical wiring which saves in terms of costs and maintenance later on.

    Wireless nurse call systems are also more scalable than wired systems. Hospitals can easily add or remove call points as needed, which makes it much easier to adjust to changes in patient volume or staffing levels.

    Many hospitals in India have switched to wireless nurse call systems, and more are expected to follow suit in the coming years. The benefits of these systems are clear, and they are becoming increasingly popular as hospitals look for ways to improve patient care and streamline operations.

    In conclusion, hospitals switching from wired nurse call systems to wireless nurse call systems is a trend that is taking place across the world. The wireless nurse call systems are more flexible, easy to install, and integrated with other hospital systems. Hospitals are also finding that these systems are more scalable, allowing for better coordination of patient care and improved communication between staff.

  • Basic components that go into making the Wireless Nurse Call System

    In the last post we had discussed Wireless Nurse Call Systems. In this post, we will discuss the basic components that go into making the Wireless Nurse Call System.

    Call Points

    The Medicare call points are available in two models, the Emergency and Cardiac Unit offering a red or blue pull on, push off switch and colour coded to meet HTM guidelines.

    The call points are housed in unique, elegant enclosures for maximum visibility and ease of use and both models have a landscape design to allow for fitting within bedhead trunking.

    The call points may well be subjected to food and drink spillages as well as other contaminants. Therefore, rather than using traditional buttons that trap infectious material, become stuck and unreliable, they use a wipe clean label with a Microban® anti-bacterial coating and the enclosure itself is embedded with anti-microbial additives. If anything is spilled onto the call point it can simply be wiped off and if the label is damaged it can be replaced in seconds, leaving the call point looking as good as new.

    Each call point (other than ceiling pull cords) has clearly marked buttons providing (depending on model) Call, Attendance, Assistance, Emergency, Cardiac and Reset. Each of these use the HTM guideline colour coding standard. The button label has a luminescent coating making it easily visible in the dark.

    The HTM 6500 is fitted with two sockets for pear push leads and / or auxiliary devices such as pressure mats, bed sensors and monitors. The nurse call points are powered by AA alkaline batteries which under normal conditions provide 2-3 years usage. Every bedroom call point has a built-in timer unit allowing bed and chair sensor pads to be added without the need for additional equipment.

    7 inch Display Unit

    The Medicare nurse call display panels offer a multitude of options designed to be unobtrusive for patients and ward staff alike.

    The compact 7” HTM model allows for easy installation as either wall mounted or more mobile units fixed using a swivel bracket. This flexibility allows these compact units to be used in various locations like corridors and ward entrances, depending on the set-up requirements of the hospital.

    The display’s high visibility screen enables multiple calls to be viewed on the same display.

    There are many additional data options, and for larger hospital environments floor plans can be displayed on the screen to pin point the exact nurse call location.

    Features:

    • Mapping facilities
    • Medication reminders
    • Staff attendance logs
    • Built-in call history
    • Call acceptance
    • Day/Night modes

    15 inch Display Units

    15” display panels can be programmed to show just a bed / ward number or more detail depending on the exact needs of the patient. They can be flat wall mounted or on swivel brackets allowing for use around the hospital. The display’s high visibility screen also enables you to view multiple calls on the same display.

    We are able to provide displays with a variety of call tones and building floor plans on the screen with software providing specific location details of the call.

    All Medicare nurse call systems are designed to be flexible, and many options and features can be applied to suit your requirements.

    Messaging Feature:

    This feature allows you to display important information at preset times of the day. It can be used to alert or notify staff of any specific needs of the residents, such as medication required or checks / duties that need to be carried out at specific times.

  • Wireless Nurse Call Systems in India

    Nurse call systems have revolutionised the way in which patients communicate with their care givers and hence the health care industry as a whole all over the world. With the advent of wireless nurse call systems in India, this improvement in communication has only risen further. Wires are no longer the limiting factor and the absence has only taken the health care industry into another league.

    We are pleased to introduce Wireless Nurse call systems from Medicare, UK which are HTM compliant and work on radio frequency. Thus you don’t need to worry about any kind of interference with medical equipment.

    From a patient’s perspective, nurse call stations no longer have a fixed location. The button can be fixed onto the bed head panel for easy access or carried around when patients are not confined to the bed. If the patient is confined to bed, we have the pear push button which can be clipped to the patient’s uniform or to the pillow cover. These features allow patients who rely on the help of nurses, when they are in dire need, to be able to effortlessly ask for help.

    The systems are splash proof and so can be fitted in the toilets as well. The Wireless nurse call system can also be attached to a lanyard, allowing patients to be able to go for a walk in the passage or outside, yet be comforted that help is just a press of the button away.

    For nurses / caregivers, the nurse call system allows for immediate response to a query. Nurses no longer have to be stationed at the main station to be able to know when help is required. There can be door lights outside the room to indicate if the patient inside has called. We can have workflows defined so that if the patient is not attended to in say 5 minutes, the call would be escalated to some other nurse station or maybe the Head of Nursing as the requirement may be.

    Where can one use Nurse Call Systems?

    Suggested areas of usage of Nurse call systems include but are not limited to:

    • Hospitals – The obvious usage is to call a nurse or call for assistance when the patient needs it.
    • Day clinics, nursing homes or old age centres need nurse call systems that are on the go. Patients here, are into their recovery process and this means starting to get by on their own, though still with direct access to medical staff. Wireless call buttons allow for these patients to be able to roam about freely and take in their leisurely walks by carrying it around with them. If they would need help getting back to their room, then a simple press on the call button would give them instant help.
    • At Home use is widely becoming an angle for care, whether for a person in recovery or for old age care. The simple system makes the installation of nurse call systems a breeze. This need no longer be a drawn out process of getting the wiring up and then hassling with the interiors.

    In the next few posts, we will talk about the different components of a Wireless Nurse Call system and their functions.
