Medicare says its HTM series Nurse Call system has been designed both to be very easy to use, and to withstand the rigours of the hospital and care home market.
The touchscreen display panels allow staff to accept calls, which informs all other staff that the call is being dealt with, while a mute facility is included to reduce sound intrusion. Both the callaccept and mute facility are only temporary; if the original call is not reset within 90 seconds, the panels will reinstate the call and sound. The company said: “Our latest innovation is e-logging, a feature which means users are not restricted to viewing call data and reports on specific PCs. The data can instead be viewed on any PC or Android phone anywhere in the world using the new Medicare secure server. e-logging provides customised reports, which can be produced for specific management personnel, with the data viewable on the customer’s own secure web page.” All reports can be downloaded to a printer, while email reports can be set up automatically. The system’s call points use HTM colouring for each call type, and each button is raised to assist residents with poor eyesight. The labels for both the call point and pear-push lead (handset) are embedded with Microban to protect against bacteria, and are luminous, making them easy to find in the dark.
