Vitalcare manufacture both very large and small scale nurse call systems.

Our large scale Daisy systems support facilities and institutions with thousands of call points, pendants and peripheral devices. Our small Flora console provides the same reliable functionality for doctors surgeries, consulting rooms, aged care group homes and schools.

The Vitalcare design team also customises products and systems to meet clients requirements. No job is too big or too complicated.

Nurse Call Systems

Nurse Call Systems — Daisy Large Campus

There are three primary elements of a nurse call system.

  • Input Devices
  • Network Controller
  • Notifications

Input Devices

Vitalcare systems support a wide range of input devices including:

  • Call points – Traditional IP wired and wireless two-way wall buttons in a range of configurations
  • Pendants – wireless two-way neck pendants worn by residents
  • Wrist buttons – alternative to neck pendants, preferred by men
  • Pull cord points – used for showers and wet areas
  • Incontinence (enuresis) mats – used in beds to detect incontinence
  • Floor and bed mats – used to detect residents location
  • Infra-red and movement detectors
  • Wandering resident detectors
  • Location and tracking (RTLS) – used to locate residents and equipment
  • Door sensors and controllers – used to lock or unlock doors
  • Duress buttons and staff pendants – provides staff and lone resident security
  • Dementia Controller (CRIS – Confused Resident Information System)

Network Controller

The Daisy Network Controller connects all the peripheral components and provides the necessary system intelligence.  It can be programmed on-site or remotely using Vitalcare’s cloud based facility. Each Input Device (such as pendants and call points) can be configured for specific instructions in the case of activation, including an escalation procedure and application of staffing shift and zone rosters.

The Network Controller also connects to the Internet for the purpose of reporting using Vitalcloud.

Notifications

Call activations can be programmed to appear on a range of devices subject to staff locations, zones, shifts and the time of day. Supported devices include:

  • Pagers
  • Smartphones (Apple iOS and Android)
  • Annunciators (signs)
  • DECT phones
  • Tablets
  • Web browsers (Vitalcloud)
  • Diallers to external agencies (call centres, Police, Fire, Ambulance Services)
  • Business information system

Enterprise Reporting

Vitalcare’s Nurse Call Platforms connect to the Vitalcloud reporting engine to provide a comprehensive range of reports and maintenance functions.

Reporting of real-time activity can be provided on a localised browser in the nurses station or on mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets. Vitalcloud can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

Daily reports can be emailed on schedule to facility management, and a real-time dashboard provides the status of all activations, including outstanding calls, response times and low battery indication. Customised reports can also be generated ad hoc, or specified in advance.

Vitalcloud’s maintenance register dramatically reduces compliance and accreditation testing costs by minimising staff involvement in testing.
