Respond instantly: Residents press buttons and pull cords to summon assistance wherever and whenever it is needed. Nursing desks and master stations direct the right people to the right rooms, coordinating the efforts of multiple departments if necessary. Color-coded signals above doorways lead and inform personnel, reducing confusion and wasted time.

Inform residents: Internet and telephone service hosting solutions connect your residents to the outside world. Digital signage bulletin boards inform them of the day's announcements, events and activities. With cable television distribution, residents can view live broadcasts of facility events on their televisions and hear them with integrated Assisted Listening systems.

Streamline workflow: RF identification systems let staff visually monitor workflow, assets and patients. Real-time information displayed across network PCs notifies triage desks of completed tasks. Simple touch buttons aid rounding, turning and pain reassessment activity, even sending automatic reminders to nurses' personalized wireless devices.

Unburden nurses: Bed management systems lighten nurses' workloads. Two-button stations in each admit bed notify housekeeping whenever rooms need to be cleaned. Instant notification of open and clean beds eliminates patient pileup, increasing throughput and keeping over-capacity issues from diverting your ambulances.

Raise efficiency: With integrated wireless handsets, your nursing staff can freely move without missing emergency calls. Text messages filter and route patient calls directly to assigned caregivers. Phones can receive patient monitor information, allowing staff to immediately assess situations and respond appropriately. Nurses can even communicate directly with patients' rooms.

Reduce noise fatigue: While both critical and non-critical alarms sounding on a daily basis increase floor noise levels and generate alarm fatigue for your nursing staff, Rauland's Responder filters each alarm based on priority level and delivers data-rich messages to the appropriate caregiver's wireless device, reducing desensitization.

Simplify assignment and login: Responder modernizes staff assignment by allowing unit secretaries and charge nurses to pre-assign patients. Responder simplifies system login, utilizing bar code readers to pair ID badges to caregivers' wireless handsets. HL-7 integration in the patient discharge system archives assignments for future retrieval and reference.

Secure your facility: Information displays, available to any authorized computer users on the hospital's network, provide real-time staff directories of nurses on duty, their wireless phone numbers, and their assigned patients. Flexible, state-of-the-art access controls and CCTV security cameras quietly keep residents in and intruders out.
