The solutions integrate Internet Protocol nurse call systems with patient monitors and monitoring alert systems. Messages, calls, alerts and requests are made mobile – going to clinicians’ wireless devices such as the Ascom Myco. The BBH Awards judges were particularly impressed by the solutions’ speech capabilities and their ability to directly link clinicians and patients. “This is a great concept,” the judges remarked, “providing direct-to-nurse communications for patients and other staff”.
Commenting on the award, Ascom UK Managing Director Paul Lawrence said: “We’re of course honored and delighted to receive this recognition. The shift towards single-room hospital layouts – together with rising patient expectations – is making full speech mobile communication solutions the obvious choice. Moreover, making it possible for mobile staff to stay in touch with patients can really help boost workflow efficiency.”
