Interested in Becoming a Technology Partner? Reach Out to Accutech Security
If you are interested in upgrading your nurse call system by integrating it with a wander management solution, infant alert system, or pediatric elopement system, contact Accutech Security today. Alert systems can improve operations at your medical facility, allowing nursing staff to respond in a timely manner to infant abductions, wander alerts.
A nurse call button on its own is not always enough to create safety and security for your patients/residents. Learn more about how Accutech’s ResidentGuard system or Cuddles system can integrate with nurse call stations to help you meet your patient needs.
Reasons Integration With Nurse Call Systems is Important
Medical professionals have important work to perform, and like most industries, time management and efficiency are top priorities. Caregivers have patients to care for and cannot waste time managing multiple security systems that don’t communicate. Integration streamlines the nursing workflow, makes it easier for teams to perform their duties, minimizes errors or problems caused by miscommunications, and ultimately improves healthcare safety and patient outcomes. Here are more reasons to choose security solutions that integrate with nurse call systems.
Better Alarm Management
When an unexpected event occurs, quickly identifying and addressing the situation is important. With proper integration, nursing staff won’t spend time dealing with false alarms or multiple security systems that have to be accessed and addressed through different devices. System integration allows nurses to easily manage alarms, saving time and improving patient care. With integration, you will be less likely to miss alarms because everything is being communicated through a single device.
Easier to Deal With Emergency Calls
Integration also makes emergency management easier. Emergency calls are routed to the same place, allowing staff to quickly assess the situation and determine the best course of action. There’s less confusion or second-guessing, making it easier for care staff to make decisions that protect patients’ lives. This can also reduce liability for the hospital due to a fast accurate response and result in fewer safety incidents.
Security Doesn’t Fall Through the Cracks
Keeping patients safe—especially vulnerable ones—should be a prime initiative of any healthcare facility. With separate security systems, it can be difficult to confirm that every security measure is being checked. Security solutions that are integrated with call systems ensure that security features are not missed, security steps are not skipped, alarms are not overlooked, and patients are kept safe at all times.
Multiple Integrated Solutions Are Better Than One
Nurse call system manufacturers create an important product that hospitals and senior care facilities need to perform the daily functions of caring for patients, but a nurse call button on its own has limitations. Combined with security features, such as Accutech Access, ResidentGuard, or Cuddles, your nurse call solution is enhanced. You can get more out of your system, protecting the hospital’s reputation and ensuring the safety of staff, visitors, and patients.
