Nurse Call - New Model Types, Better Efficiency

There seems to be no stopping in having medical facilities, large clinics and hospitals getting bigger and bigger in large urban centers while their patient population is also going steadily on the rise. Like all other establishments on the rise, most especially those on the service sector, patient care systems need to be upgraded, like the important nurse call Brisbane system.

The needed upgrades are actually to meet the rising requirements of patients who might be neglected, some inadvertently. These medical facilities need to have a bigger, more reliable care-giving alert system. A stronger and more reliable system is simply for better and faster delivery of services from the staff to the patient.

The technology is not wanting because there are now several outstanding models and brands of theirs alert systems that should be able to replace the aging systems once used. (At present, these healthcare providers need to replace their outdate nurse alert systems and their antiquated requirements of many steps before services are rendered.)

Advantages 

Higher numbers of servers than the patients are always better for the patient. This way, the health care facilities have more personnel to care for patients (or even on an equal basis) rather than the other way around where patients outnumber hospital workers.

Likewise, increasing number of patients, health care facilities personnel need to find better ways and better efforts to bring over their services to the right number of people. It would be very hard if two or three patients would be competing for the attention of one nurse. Either one or more patients will be neglected or some vital services might be missed.

The most ideal nurse call balance would be a one-on-one ratio. Full-time attention and service would go a long way in the betterment of care for these patients. Work flow would also be streamlined.

New approaches

There are now new approaches in the delivery of services by these health providers (hospitals, clinics, medical centers). There had been a shift of policy by decentralizing nursing units. Also, there had been systems policies that have the staff and the patients communicated with each other more effectively and fast.

Some systems have now call stations that connect patients with (large and easy to press) buttons, a pull cords, and a remote push-button pendant worn by patients. This is in deference to today’s wireless technology. The ease of the system is meant to get a speedy attention.
 
Some of the suppliers have included real-time location systems which also has combined mobile capabilities. These are tailor-fitted with the hospital’s existing wireless technology. Likewise, these wireless alert systems for nurses have increased the capacity of the staff to locate and respond to their patients anywhere around the vicinity of the hospitals.

Types

These new models usually have the choice of being hardwired, wireless or a combination of both technologies. Others have options of recording the time and date plus the location of the call. The systems have been calibrated to respect the minimum silence requirement of the facility.

Today’s new models of nurse call Brisbane systems have certainly increased its efficiency and the attention levels.
