Nurse Call System

Nurse Call System is a nursing communication and management system using IP technology that can be used for both wired and wireless connections. The features of this system make it ideal for use in hospitals, homes, supervised apartments and day centers.

• Increases the safety and comfort of patients and residents
• IP technology. Convergence of communications and ease of installation and maintenance.
• Optimisms the work of nursing staff
• Adaptability and Extensibility

Control posts

There are different types of control posts: fixed control post, wireless phone or PC. All control posts have the same basic communication functionalities and one type or another may be used depending on each center’s characteristics.

• Fixed control post. Allows viewing and responding to the alarms of different rooms at the same time, as well as added value functions such as shift changeovers.
• Wireless phone. Can be a Dect or Wifi terminal. This device is used to see the alarms and communicate with the room, in addition to working as a regular wireless phone.

• PC-based control post. Shows the alarms and reports thanks to the Atica Monitoring management software. The computer at the nursing post can be used, thanks to it being Web-based.

External control post. Thanks to VoIP (voice over IP), the control posts can be in the same building or at a great distance, through an Internet connection. This is useful in the event of wanting to use an external call center for management of supervised apartments or to control several centers from a single location.

Room control post and devices

The room post controls the pushbuttons, lights, and sensors in a room; it sends alarms and establishes communication with the nursing staff. It is a versatile and flexible element that allows for future adaptations and extensions. Its most relevant features are:

• IP Technology, incorporating VoIP (voice over IP) standards.
• Possibility of wireless communication
• Hands-free voice communication.
• Information display showing current state of the room and alarms in other rooms.
• Possibility of viewing and responding to alarms from other rooms (mobile control post).
• Staff and/or patient identification by RFID.

Systems Integration

Nurse Call System becomes the building’s communication management system thanks to its integration capabilities through the room’s control post or communications server.

Because it uses IP technology, all communications can use the same physical environment: patient-nurse, television, phone, Internet and CCTV.
