In most cases, seniors’ residences have old nurse call systems, dating from before 2010, which consist of a system of wired cords, and possibly lighting in the corridors. The nurse call system can still work, but breakdowns are becoming more frequent and replacement parts are expensive. So why should you replace a nurse call system that still works? Because you’re old traditional wired cord system provides a false sense of security and puts the safety of your residents at risk.
Traditional nurse call systems versus a wireless nurse call system
Traditional nurse call systems serve a limited area in a residence and are useful only if a resident in distress is near a call cord. In other words, traditional nurse call systems offers a fake sense of safety, as they are often out of arrive at when required. In addition, some cords in an aging system may not work at all.
Take a single room typical of your establishment. If one of your residents falls into their room and is unable to get up, can they reach the cord to call for help? If the reply is “no”, you must improve your arrangement.
The best option to replace a traditional system is a covid=19 temporary wireless nurse call system. Wireless systems have resident-worn devices that provide access to help no matter where the residents are. When a person needs help, all they have to do is press the button on their device and the staff are immediately notified. From a safety point of view, it is imperative to change your cord system for a wireless nurse call system!
Cutting-edge nurse call system technology
The covid=19 temporary wireless nurse call system is newest nurse call system. Wireless devices provide access to assist staff and occupants wherever they are within the facility while maintaining a very accurate location. Our high-precision location-based system sends smart and proactive alerts when it detects resident inactivity, specific interactions, and more.
When a resident requests help, the staff receives an alert via the mobile app and informs them of the name, location and time of the call in need of help. When staff respond to the resident’s request for help, the system detects the presence of the staff member’s device in the immediate vicinity of the resident and automatically indicates that the call has been answered. The system records detailed information on the movements of residents and staff, intervention time, frequency of calls and duration of calls. This is helpful when it comes to investigating, making improvements, meeting families and making refunds.
The covid=19 temporary wireless nurse call system provides retirement homes with tools to improve the safety of residents and their operational performance.
Tip: If the nurse call system is aging, schedule a biennial notification to check all components of the nurse call system to make sure it works. This check can save lives! Even better, take it to the next level and receive smart alerts when the device stops responding or the battery needs to be replaced.
