Three years later – how is Tyks Lighthouse Hospital doing now?

The Lighthouse Hospital’s large Pediatric and Adolescent Ward has family-oriented single patient rooms. The rooms required a system where nurse calls and medical device alarms were sent directly to the nurse’s handset.

The new solution has reduced the number of alarms sounding in the corridors, which has provided the staff with the desired peaceful working conditions. Now calls and alarms can be assigned to the nurses who are best informed about the patient’s situation. This strengthens the cooperation between the responsible teams and reduces the number of alerts for other teams.

Calls and alarms are sent directly to the nurse’s Myco smartphone, which travels with them wherever they go.

“I believe that families feel more at peace when they know that the nurses receive information about patient calls and monitor alarms on their handsets, no matter where they are in the ward,” says Susanna Erkkilä, Assistant Head Nurse at the Pediatric and Adolescent Ward.

In addition to patient calls and alarms, the handset and its applications are used for many other purposes, such as interpretation services, making calls and recording patient data.

“Ascom’s Myco handset is a very versatile assistive device for nurses,” says Erkkilä.
