Description
A nurse call system is an alert mechanism by which the admitted patients in hospitals and/or homes (with patients has some disability or going through treatment) can inform nurses or other health care givers remotely about their help assistance. It consists of a button placed somewhere on or around the hospital bed which when pressed, alerts the staff at the nurse’s station, and usually, a nurse or nurse assistant responds to such a call. Some systems also allow the patient to speak directly to the staff; others simply beep or buzz at the station, requiring a staff member to actually visit the patient’s room to determine the patient’s needs.
Benefits to Patients:
- Enables the patient who is confined to bed and has no other way of communicating with staff to alert a nurse of the need for any kind of assistance
- Enables a patient who is able to get out of bed, but for whom this may be hazardous, exhausting, or otherwise difficult to alert a nurse of the need for any type of assistance
- Provides the patient an increased sense of security
- The call button can also be used by a health care staff member already with the patient to call for another when such assistance is needed, or by visitors to call for help on behalf of the patient
- Can call for services without disturbing nurses on wired and wireless call devices.
