How to Improve Staff Mobility with Wireless Nurse Call Systems The future of hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities are going to rely upon mobile technologies to improve the management of patients, equipment, and staff. Mobile technologies make it much easier and faster to communicate vital information and collaborate, while providing real-time data. In addition, mobile technologies can be incorporated into existing patient flow systems to create a centralized care system. With mobile technologies in place, nurses, caregivers, and staff do not have to constantly be near patients or patient monitoring stations. They are able to move freely and be more mobile within healthcare settings, allowing them the flexibility to be away from patients and not have to worry about their patients. While they are away from their patients, healthcare providers are still able to monitor their patients and know exactly where the patients are within the facility and the patient flow system.
What Are the Benefits of Nurse Call Systems? Wireless nurse call systems rely upon incorporating multiple communication devices into a single combined system. The system transmits information from an input transmitter and sends it immediately to connected output devices. For instance, Visionlink速 Nurse Call helps create a patient focused driven care facility while still allowing for proper facility management. This platform is able to be integrated into a wide array of technology and related devices, including: Pocket Pagers iPads Smartphones Two Way Radios
Emergency Pull Stations Patient Transmitters Motion Detectors Smoke Detectors Corridor Zone Lights Corridor Lights Single and Dual Bed Stations Wandering Patient Door Equipment Central Monitoring Stations The main benefit of VisionLink® is streamlining communications and ensuring patients receive the proper care and attention they deserve. In the event a patient needs help or there is an alarm, the system automatically notifies the appropriate healthcare staff and provides relevant details, such as the name of the patient or the location of the incident within the healthcare facility. Another benefit VisionLink® provides hospitals and healthcare facilities is improved patient management. Nurses will no longer have to waste time checking charts or with one another to see when a patient was last given medications, specific treatments, and more. The system can be enabled to provide automatic reminders to give medications and treatments, as well as the last time medications were administered. Additionally, staff are able to spend time moving throughout the healthcare facility and spending more time with those patients that require immediate care. If another patient requires assistance, they are able to easily notify staff directly from their location, with their own personal transmitter or by using an emergency pull station. Depending upon the system configuration of VisionLink®, staff can speak directly to patients using the hands-free VoiceLink® feature. Any connected communication devices are able to receive alarm calls, emergency call system notifications, non-emergency messages, text messages, and messages entered on a keyboard. In addition, VisionLink® supports features where it can be connected to any type of equipment or device that sends out a contact closure alarm, such as incontinence pads, bed exit pads, or any other such devices in use.
