by Wireless Nurse Call Transforming Technology Into Solutions Many healthcare facilities rely on nurse call systems to provide the best possible health care and service to their patients.  Whether it is a retirement home, rehabilitation facility, or a post-operative care facility the needs of both the care givers and the patients vary significantly. Thus, choosing the right nurse call system is imperative to ensure healthcare providers are able to provide quick and effective care.

By providing a single source for all alerting and communications needs, products like System Technology’s VisionLink offer a centralized system that helps to provide patient focused care with superior facility management as well as offering users the greatest value for their investment.

Large facilities with multiple buildings, for instance, have the option of a wireless nurse call systems with multiple wireless platforms to link residents with staff throughout the campus. Thus, no matter where the patient is located, their alert or summons call is directed to the nearest nurse station or a centralized location with one nurse call system. Some such products feature 900 MHz spread spectrum wireless technology and multiple wireless platforms to link residents with staff in facilities of all sizes. Multi-building facilities will benefit from the wireless repeaters that send assistance calls to the nearest console or a centralized console. Companies such as Systems Technologies specialize in these types of centralized systems.
