Client Case Study: Nurse Call System

When insurance companies require your assisted living facility or senior home to have nurse call systems, you need name-brand devices that are guaranteed to work. These systems provide clients with a safe and reliable means to contact medical staff in the event of an emergency or if assistance is needed.

Surveillance Secure helped this particular facility to implement a nurse call system that notifies nursing stations as well as front desk personnel that someone needs help. Every room contains a device that is simple to use and easy to reach in the event of an emergency.

Emergency Communication for Patients

Surveillance Secure helped install easy emergency pull devices from Critical Alert to complement the nurse call systems. These devices provide an easy way for patients to notify nursing staff that help is needed. With these devices, there’s no two-way calling, just a simple pull that gets patients help immediately.

Patients can also speak to a nurse via patient call stations from Critical Alert, where two-way calling is easy and an emergency button can also help patients notify staff that an emergency is taking place. These systems make patient care and security simple and provide a reliable way for staff to ensure patients always have access to help.

Easy Assessment for Nurses

Reliable devices are essential when it comes to nurse call systems. Surveillance Secure worked with Critical alert name-brand devices in order to reduce the risk that a failure would occur for this facility. In the event of an emergency, your facility can’t be responsible for the failure of an emergency communication device. Every second counts when your patients need help.

Nurses are able to quickly assess a patient’s condition with a two-way call system or are able to immediately respond when notified via the emergency pull device. Critical Alert also offers Stryker wireless bed integration, which allows nurses be be notified if the railings on hospital beds are not securely in place, have been moved, or if patient position in the bed has changed so that staff can respond accordingly.

Nurse call systems are not only essential for your facility—they also provide an efficient communication system for patients to get immediate help to prevent injury. Patients who are impacted by limited mobility should be able to get the help they need as soon as possible: Surveillance Secure helps make this a reality for care facilities that rely on critical communication.
