Pocket Pagers and Alarm Indicators Vastly Improve Patient Care
Sanford Health is at the forefront of the healthcare industry, representing one of largest medical facilities in the Midwest. A few years ago, the Sioux Falls, South Dakota staff recognized their aging nursing call system no longer operated to their standards and a new, more modern system could dramatically improve their communication needs. Nurse call with integration capabilities was also critical in their decision making process.
New Nurse Call System Requirements:
Any new system that Sanford Hospital implemented needed to:
- Integrate to the Stryker patient beds and support multiple auxiliary inputs in patient rooms
- Customize alarms for easy staff interpretation
- Streamline patient to staff communication
Sanford Hospital chose the Jeron’s Provider 680® Nurse Call Solutions:
Some of the key implementations at the facility included:
- Patient Safety - staff is notified immediately of a safety concern from the Stryker bed exit alarms located on all patient beds, reducing the number of accidental patient falls
- Alarm Indicators - Dome Lights outside patient rooms have specific indicators that correspond to different events making it easy to interpret, cutting down on response times and driving efficiency
- Wireless Patient Call - staff pagers receive calls silently from anywhere on the floor pagers streamlines patient to staff communication, keeps staff mobility and minimizes disruptive overhead pages
Sanford Health was extremely happy with their nurse call system decision right away. The Provider 680 quickly elevated the level of patient care through its sophisticated features and integration capabilities. Each nurse could now dedicate more time to patients in a non-emergency situation which pleased both staff and patients alike.
