Improving Response Times to Patient Needs

Integration of nurse call systems with wireless telephones is one of the most prevalent initiatives for hospitals and nursing directors because it improves staff productivity, reduces response times to patient requests, and helps increase overall patient satisfaction. If a caregiver carriers a wireless telephony device, a voice conversation can be established with a patient in a matter of seconds. As one button press establishes a real-time voice path with patients regardless of caregiver location, the number of required steps for nurses to provide care is reduced significantly.

How It Works

Once a patient call is placed, the patient request or alarm is sent from the patient room to the nurse call system, which in turn interprets the data to determine who should receive the information. Once identified, the information is then routed from the Fusion Series IAM for Nurse Call to accept the data and instantly route the alarm or event to the appropriate device. Room/Bed Number and Priority Level are typically displayed on the mobile device, detailing call information for the caregiver. The nurse can then choose to accept or escalate the call, or with the touch of a button, automatically connect to the patient speaker.

No PC or Server Necessary

The Fusion Series IAM is a network appliance with a standard industrial 19" rack mount enclosure to fit easily in most environments. This self-contained architecture does not require a PC or Server and results in a lower total cost of ownership and ongoing support considerations.

Point-of-Care Connectivity

Real-time alarm management of point-of-care systems such as nurse call is enhanced via the Fusion IAM Series by routing real-time alarms and events to ensure patients are serviced promptly and effectively. Clinicians are enabled to better meet the increasing demands of their patients, from routine patient calls to mission-critical Code Blue alarms.
