NURSE CALLING SYSTEM

Nurse call systems are integral to patient treatment and care. They alert nursing staff to patient needs and emergent situations. Timely response is the key to high-quality patient care, which requires minimized redundancy throughout the nurse-call workflow.

Nurse call system consists of five components:

  • A central console
  • A remote switching device for each patient or patient room
  • Corridor or intermediate station lights
  • Low-voltage power supplies
  • Interconnecting wiring
