Common Features of Nurse Call Systems

What if you could instantly connect patients with caregivers, providing effective communication and enhancing patient safety, all at the touch of a button? Nurse call systems make these possible through several features, letting healthcare facilities prioritize patient care. From simple call buttons to advanced mobile apps, the nurse call system utilizes advanced features to ensure timely and effective communication between patients, caregivers, and staff. In this blog, we will look into the features of the nurse call system that can enhance patient care and optimize patient outcome.

Pillow speaker (or call light): Patients can use these to not only contact the nurses but also control the TV and the light switches. For patients with paralysis, alternative breath calls are plugged into the wall station, which lets the patient contact the nurse simply by inhaling or exhaling into a particular tube.

Wall station: It is the microphone that facilitates communication between the nurse and the patient. It also contains the code blue button and can be connected to the nurse call station via the wall station. This allows the nurse stations to get alerts whenever the connected equipment goes into alarm.

Bed cable: This nurse call system allows the patient's bed to be connected to the wall station, sets the alarm when the patient attempts to exit the bed, and allows staff to decide whether they should or shouldn’t. A patient can also call the nurse’s station via a button on the bed rail.

Desk console: The desk console looks similar to a telephone, allowing the unit secretary or nurse to answer calls from the patient or call into the patient’s room whenever required.

Code blue signifies that the patient needs immediate help. When a staff member presses the code blue button, a group of alerts goes off at the nurse’s station and around the areas where the nurse call system is set up to alert.
