Responder® NET
...it's not just nurse-call
anymore
|
Responder® NET is a software package that
enhances the Responder IV Nurse-Call System
by taking all the information collected by
the nurse-call system (wireless extensions,
staff locations, patient-to-staff
assignments, etc.) and allows that
information to flow throughout your
facility.

Staff Scheduling:
- Since Responder NET takes all the "non
life-safety" functions of the nurse-call
system and places them on your facilities
LAN/WAN, you can make patient-to-staff
assignments from any LAN/WAN connected
computer. This eliminates the need to go to
the nursing station to make staff
assignments, and allows charge nursing staff
quickly enter staff assignments from one
computer screen. You can even pre-assign
staff for the next shift, making the staff
log-on process that much quicker.
-
Best of all, every patient-to-staff
assignment is held in the server's database,
making it accessible not only to your staff
to print from any LAN/WAN connected
computer, but for your Joint Commission
required records.

Staff
Log-on and Log-off
- Staff have the ability to use
bar-codes to log-on or log-off from
the system. If the patient-to-staff
assignment has been completed by the
charge nurse, then the staff member
simply needs to scan the bar-code
located on their ID badge and the
bar-code on each of the wireless
devices. The system automatically
knows which extensions they have and
that they are on duty.
This eliminates common errors like
entering the wrong extensions.

-
These bar-code readers can be setup on
any LAN/WAN connected device with a USB
port. They can be located in an office,
break-room, or anywhere else the
facility. This eliminate the congestion
at the nurses' station during shift
change.
-
If the wireless device which has been
chosen by the nurse is already assigned
to another staff member, the screen will
ask you if you want to take over the
device, then removing it from the
previous staff members profile. This
eliminate the calls from rooms that are
not assigned to the caregiver, by
verifying the device is only assigned to
one person.
-
Log-off by simply scanning the bar-code on
the staff members ID badge, or set a
predetermined time in the system, and the
system will automatically log-off the staff
member, and removing their room coverage.
- Don't like the idea of using bar-code
readers, that's okay - because it's not
required. There is a separate screen to
allow staff to log-on/off manually from any
LAN/WAN connected PC, or from any touch
screen console in the facility.
Responder NET has many more applications
as well, such as bed management and a
patient whiteboard. Call 865-938-2088
