What Is a Nurse Calling System?
A nurse calling system is a wireless solution that lets a patient or their
companion start a call from the bedside. The call reaches the nurse's receiver
instantly, and the management screen too if wanted; because the room it came
from is visible, dispatching is fast.
It is used in hospitals, private clinics, elderly care homes and
rehabilitation centres. It scales with the number of rooms in any healthcare
institution that needs in-room calling.
How Does a Nurse Calling System Work?
When the button at the bedside is pressed or the cord in the bathroom is
pulled, the signal travels wirelessly to the receiver. The call appears on the
receiver screen at the nurse station, on the pager staff carry, or in the mobile
app. Critical situations can be prioritised with emergency call scenarios.
The installation is wireless and needs no cabling in an existing building.
Call points in rooms, bathrooms and common areas can be added later to extend
the system.

Advantages of a Wireless Nurse Calling System
A wireless nurse calling system is installed while the ward is running and
needs no cabling. It applies as readily to a newly opened ward as to a clinic
already in service; call points can be added later.
Calls not being lost and response time shortening affect both patient safety
and coordination within the ward directly. The response times in the management
panel make busy hours and the need for extra staff visible.
Where Is a Nurse Calling System Used?
A nurse calling system is used in hospitals, private clinics, elderly care
homes and rehabilitation centres. In inpatient wards, in-room calling, a
pull-cord help button in the bathrooms and common area calling in the corridors
are all part of the same installation.
In any healthcare institution that needs in-room calling, the system scales
with the number of rooms. Where a few rooms and a single receiver are enough in
a small clinic, a large ward uses a separate call point for every bed and
several receivers.
What Determines Nurse Calling System Pricing?
The price of a nurse calling system is set by the number of rooms and call
points, the number of receivers and the coverage needed. The bedside button, the
pull-cord model for the bathroom and the corridor points are each planned
separately.
On the receiving side there are the screen at the nurse station, the pager
staff carry and mobile app options. For the most accurate quote a needs analysis
specific to the institution is recommended; the call points are decided together
over the floor plan.
