Quite possibly the world’s most advanced nurse call solution—but still interoperable with your existing and/or systems and infrastructure. Ascom’s smart nurse call systems gather data from multiple sources: medical devices, wall-mounted modules, pillow speakers, patient’s nurse-call buttons, etc. Highly scalable, and used and trusted in countless hospitals worldwide.
Vendor-neutral, interoperable with existing and planned medical devices and communication system
Clinicians get the context-rich, near-real time data they need to make the better care decisions.
Fast, targeted, informed responses by the right people at the right time can have a significant positive impact on patient satisfaction and recovery.
Filtered alerting and messaging helps improve productivity and staff morale. Calmer environments can enhance staff satisfaction.
Adapts to meet changing needs. Scalable from an on-site system for a single department/ward, up to mult-site, multi-organization solutions.
From initial planning with Ascom clinical consultants to installation and solution lifecycle support and training.
Crucially, the technology development work was done by clinicians instead of to clinicians. It meant we had genuine engagement with nurses and other stakeholders as we carefully planned the hospital from the start – taking in the views of estates, IT, domestic staff, porters, admin, allied health and medical staff
