The Wandsworth Group will showcase its complete range of IPiN IP-based nurse call systems.
IPiN system is a fully IP-based nurse call system ‘from source to destination’, based on TCP/IP technology, enabling ‘easy integration with other systems’, including DECT telephones, and pagers. Fully HTM-compliant, it reportedly offers the flexibility to adapt to hospitals’ changing needs. The full-colour nurses’ station touchscreen display provides realtime, prioritised nurse call information, while data logging can be used to track call patterns, and is accessible remotely via a secure connection. Wandsworth has developed the system with ‘IPiN Everywhere’, a staff/patient tracking system that utilises the IPiN IP infrastructure to extend functionality from the bedhead to anywhere in the hospital grounds, ‘thanks to unique user ID badges or tags’. Combining IR, RF, and low frequency signals, IPiN Everywhere enables medical staff to activate either a ‘panic’, or an ‘emergency call’ button, so they can be quickly located. Vulnerable patients, meanwhile, can carry their nurse call button when they go to the bathroom, day room, or for treatment, and staff can then identify both the badge/tag, and the location, in real time.
