The premise behind it is that patients can contact their nurse immediately when experiencing distress. From call points, to wireless pendants, the solutions are highly efficient and accessible to patients with a range of concerns.At Indigo Care, our nurse call equipment are customisable to your lifestyle, allowing instant care at the click of a button. With extensive care working with healthcare providers and patients from hospitals, rehabilitation centres, aged care residences and nursing homes, we practise making living safer and easier. Our guide to nurse call solutions below provides four ways you can protect either your own, a patient’s, or a loved one’s health.
Immediate communication between patient and nurse
Arguably the greatest benefit to nurse call equipment is the ease with which patients can contact their nurse, or other healthcare provider. Oftentimes, it can be a few minutes until patients are checked up on during rounds. In especially vulnerable patients, these few minutes can be critical in making a difference to their condition. Nurse call systems allow for such patients to bring immediate attention to themselves in times of medical distress, ultimately enabling them to efficiently receive the care they require.
Improvements to patient care through reporting
With modern technology rapidly evolving, so do the features of nurse call solutions and this is where the Arkom Nurse Call System can help. For instance, modern solutions take data such as how many times a patient has called for help through their nurse call system, and are able to alert medical providers if certain patients are more at risk of experiencing medical distress than others. This allows healthcare staff to adjust their approach, potentially through monitoring the flagged patients more frequently. Reports may also show how often calls were made, and at what time. This may allow for better scheduling of staff, for instance ensuring that the number of nurses working during a reported call time is sufficient.
Decreased chance of missing medications
A significant way that nurse call solutions can protect a patient’s health is through ensuring the timely administration of medications. Patients can use the call system to request medication when necessary, however, the device may also serve as an insurance policy in the case their medication is not being administered on time. This ensures that medications are taken on schedule, ultimately improving patient care.
Greater patient satisfaction
Attentive and responsive care ensures that patients are able to get the care they require, and are satisfied with it. Indigo Care and Arkom Nurse Call System with our Nurse call solutions can improve patient satisfaction by optimising workflow, staffing, and responses to emergency situations. Easily accessible to patients, these devices ensure that immediate and efficient care is always a given.
