Alternative And New Nurse Call Alarm Systems

The concept of installing nurse call alarm systems is not new and has been used for a long time

. This system helps attend to the needs of a patient with urgency and special care which is not only beneficial to the patients but also makes their stay a well cared one. However over the years, with the improvement of technology, several modern and new nurse call alarm systems have come up with better facilities, ease of installation, more flexibility and mobility.

Most nurse call alarm systems are the hard wired units with electric wires whose installation is far more complicated and involves added costs of setting up the wire system. Over the past quite a few years technology has not only helped in other sectors but also in the field of medical science. There have been radical changes seen. With wireless technology dominating our lives, nurse call alert systems have also made use of this technology thus helping to improve its efficiency and making it user friendly. Alternatives include installing intercoms, nurse paging systems, and many such other alert systems which also track and relay information about the location of a patient. Wireless and radio nurse call systems are common nowadays.

Being computer based, they are widely used. But maintenance of these devices post installation is often neglected which should be avoided. The maintenance procedures are not complicated and should not be overlooked. This would ensure its longevity. Many of them also have the facility of being upgraded from time to time. These improved alert systems have become personalized, more efficient, with prioritized calls. The response of the hospital staff towards the patients has also improved as a result.

Some companies have come up with cost effective alternatives in which the nurse call alert is achieved directly via the fire alarm. Often tracking equipments are used for monitoring special patients which minimizes the manual alarm and assignment tasks. Another new cost effective alternative being tested throughout the world for its feasibility is the new video nurse call system. However, as of now, wireless and radio nurse call alarm systems are taking over and have proved to be beneficial in many aspects. Due to its ease of mobility it can be used any where within the viable range and various types of devices have come up to cater to specific needs of the patients.

These alert systems are not just limited to serve the needs of the patients but it also helps alert other hospital staff in case a nurse is in danger or is harmed thus ensuring a safe working environment for the staff too. Most hospitals today want to make safety a priority; well being and health of the patient and the nurse is important. Customers prefer a well maintained sophisticated health care system and hence investing in such systems provides better facilities as well.
