Barton County Memorial Hospital

Provider® 680 and Cisco-IP® Phones Create a Robust Communication Solution 

Barton County Memorial Hospital in Lamar, Missouri is representative of premium health care but after 16 years of service, upgrading the equipment became evident.  The staff already purchased a sophisticated Cisco-IP phone system which meant cutting edge technology and superior local support and service were crucial for their next nurse call system purchase.   

New Nurse Call System Requirements:
Any new system that BCMH implemented needed to:

  • Integrate seamlessly with the Cisco-IP phone system
  • Provide staff the ability to monitor and filter calls
  • Offer off-premises monitoring and in-house training of the nurse call system


BCMH Chose the Jeron's Provider 680 Nurse Call Solutions:
Some of the key implementations at the facility included:

  • Phone Integration - staff members send messages from multiple locations to a single phone or multiple phones, improving staff mobility minimizing disruptive overhead pages 
  • Call Filtering - ward clerks answer routine calls and transfer more urgent calls to assigned staff members, driving efficiency and improving response times to emergency situations
  • Jeron's Distribution Network - off-premise monitoring and frequent visits to the hospital ensures issues are corrected in a timely manner and the nurse call system is running smoothly


BCMH's new facility was constructed to house advanced technology and the Jeron nurse call system met those expectations.  The staff embraced its customization to fit their facility's needs.  The phone integration and call filtering streamlined staff to staff communication and ultimately improved the level of patient care.
