Hospital being built or upgraded will include advanced nurse call systems, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
Beyond the nurse call bell, the new systems are more complex and feature-rich, including real-time location and patient education.
Many systems now have workflow optimization features that can be customized to include interfaces for reminders, environmental services, transport and other needs, the article said.
Systems can be used to notify staff of room readiness for patient admission and the need for cleaning after patient discharge.
