See how Ascom smart nurse call systems work in the real world of everyday patient care—and how it represents a true evolution beyond conventional nurse call systems.
The Ascom solution has allowed us to make the patients visible to the nurses, no matter where they are in the building
Solution components such as pillow speakers empower patients and reassure families. Patients can simply push pre-programmed buttons to send specific requests to designated caregivers. And as staff don’t waste time walking to ask what patients require, they can respond faster to patient requests. All of which helps improve patient satisfaction and hospital rankings.
The solution features automatic logging of all key data (nurse presence, response times, etc.). Bedside uploading of data to EHR/EMR systems is possible—which can help reduce double documentation.
All Ascom clinical communication and collaboration solutions are backed by worldwide post-installation services. These include remote monitoring, on-site support, express device replacement, and customized live and/or online training—services that protect your investment and help maximize solution uptime.
