A nurse call system lets a patient press a button and the nurses see which bed called. It shortens response and spares night staff from walking every corridor.
Key takeaways
- Help at the press of a button
- Nurses see which bed
- Corridor lamps
- Fewer wasted rounds
01Why it matters
On a ward at night, a patient who needs help cannot shout across the room. A button at the bed lights a lamp in the corridor and shows the bed number at the nurses' station, so the nurse goes straight to the right bed.
