New developments in healthcare call for a fresh approach to nurse call systems, and that’s exactly what the new generation of Ascom Telligence provides. In fact, it is so innovative it constitutes a new category of healthcare communications: the Ascom Patient Response System. The following features and benefits explain why.
The fluid, dynamic nature of modern healthcare renders conventional nurse call systems inefficient. For instance, frontline staff just don’t have the time to walk and assess individual service calls. What staff need is a system that supports mobility—that lets them communicate with patients and assess their needs while on the move.
Patients have similar needs. They need to feel connected to their mobile caregivers. They need systems that make it easy for them to communicate their needs. They need to feel some sense of control over their immediate environment.
Ascom Telligence addresses these and other issues. It connects patients, staff, clinical data, support services and medical devices. It helps simplify and smoothen communications and workflows between all the many actors involved in frontline care. The result? Better collaboration, more satisfied patients, and the best possible use of resources.
Ascom Telligence greatly simplifies handling of patient to staff requests, eliminating the need for staff to write notes to each other. With Ascom's task management capabilities, staff can initiate requests from any Ascom device which include the staff console, Ascom Unite View or mobile phones.
Requests are tagged to specific patient rooms to provide notifications for follow up and completion. All events are logged for end to end reporting. With a common user experience across all devices, staff training is greatly simplified.
Ascom Telligence. Designed for nurses and front line caregivers.
Flexibility and configurability are two important criteria that enable the Telligence Nurse Call System to support a more streamlined communication model.
Ascom enables workflow solutions for the way your hospital wants to work by offering truly innovative workflow features.
Telligence ensures messages are rapidly delivered to the appropriate caregiver or department, regardless of location.
By combining Telligence Nurse Call with Ascom Unite software and our global mobility solutions, enhanced capabilities can be extended to your mobile workforce to increase staff communication and collaboration even more.
Ascom Unite seamlessly links mission-critical systems with mobile communications. It delivers intelligent integration, advanced messaging, and system management in one unique, powerful package.
In addition, Telligence supports easy integration with other healthcare technology such as medical equipment with approved nurse call interfaces, ADT systems, smart beds and real-time location systems. With Ascom technology, efficient, patient-centered care has never been easier.
Designed to meet the strict compliance and regulatory controls of multiple global standards such as UL, VDE, HTM and more, Ascom's Telligence Nurse Call Communications System complies with the UL Standard for Safety for Hospital Signaling and Nurse Call Equipment, UL 1069. Every component of the Telligence solution, including accessories, cords and plugs, is specially constructed to perform safely in the patient-care environment.
