Communication in hospital

Ackermann clino communication systems in hospitals

In keeping with the spirit of the Hippocratic Oath, the primary objective of a hospital today is still to promote the well-being of its patients. This responsibility requires every clinic to safeguard and improve its quality, regardless of, or precisely because of, increasing cost pressure and ever higher demands. In particular in the area of communication technology it is necessary to provide access to new media such as the Internet or Intranet at the patients bedside. Patients, nursing

services and medical services will be dependent on the availability of these new services in the near future. Through new technologies in telecommunications, systems grow into complex communication networks. Thus communication in the various departments of a hospital becomes increasingly extensive and has a major influence on the overall quality and economic efficiency of the institution.

hospital or clinic the possibility of integrating these new services into the efficient accounting system. In addition, the connection to the clinics own Intranet oppens up new possibilities. These call systems are supplemented by the coupling with wireless paging or DECT- Systems.This provides a decisive advantage in that it enables contact to be established with a specific person - a registered nurse, the senior 0physician, or the technical service department. Particularly in large institutions which may consist of several buildings, it is imperative that people be reachable throughout the entire complex. Nursing, medical and technical staff, as well as administration and service employees, are increasingly being integrated into a complex process based on the division of labour. The necessary quality can only be ensured by an extensive exchange of information between the parties involved. Communication systems from Ackermann offer the ideal solution. The clino opt and clino phon call systems establish direct contact between the patients and the nursing staff. clino opt, the call system with visual and acoustic signalling, is used where voice contact with the patient is not possible or desirable. The clino phon system with its two-way intercom feature, greatly reduces the load on the staff. The nurses cannot only ask the patient for the reason of the call and estimate the urgency, but also directly contact other members of staff. A prompt response to the call also reassures the patient. With clino com, Ackermann offers worldwide an unique, integrated multimedia communication system that, in addition to the services telephony and TV, provides the patient with Internet access at the patients bedside. It also offers the With the wireless DECT system the staff are also equipped with mobile telephones.

clino opt: Always well informed.

The nurse call system clino opt provides the staff with prompt and clear information as to which resident called from where, or whether additional assistance is required from other members of staff. Alphanumerical displays in the residents rooms, in the corridor and, of course in the duty room, provide instant information on the location and identity of the person who has called for assistance. There is an ideal call unit for every resident, whatever state of health.

From the simple push button all the way to the handset with integrated radio and TV-control - every device has been specially designed to meet the needs of the elderly. Naturally, when designing the systems, emphasis was placed on ensuring that installation of the call system does not effect the homely character of an institution. This, however, in no way impairs the safety aspect of these systems.

clino phon: Instant contact.

The convenient clino phon call system enables the nursing staff to talk to residents directly. In addition, the option of consulting with other members of staff, e.g. to request a second nurse, is an effective way to facilite daily nursing care.

The call system can be linked to existing computer systems, thus making it possible to keep very effective records and to supplement calls with essential information for the nursing staff. A graphic display of the different zones gives the nursing staff a quick and informative overview. Calls, staff availability and, for example, the occupancy of the apartments, room, etc can be seen at a glance.

clino com 21: Multimedia in the patient room.

The clino com 21 as the overall concept for communication in hospitals and clinics, eanables to bring together different transmission and communication media in one system. This includes, on the one hand, nurse call, telephony, intranet and internet access, radio, television and entertainment and, on the other hand, accounting for the available chargeable sevices. With this system the whole range of hardware, from conception to use, is covered, whereby, for example, modern transmission technologies and

software solutions with a guaranteed future offer every institution security as far as investment and useful life are concerned. Thanks to the most modern equipment and the low installation and maintenance costs, clino com 21 ranks as one of the most flexible and economic communication systems for hospitals and clinics. The operating devices are characterised by the easy-to-operate touch8 screen technology.

In addition, it is possible to adapt the functions to new requirements at any time thanks to loadable software. clino com 21 already meets the basic requirements for the future: customer ties, patient amenities, electronic patient files, user-group controlled accounting and multimedia at the patients bedside

Nurse call

clino call: Reachable everywhere.

The various paging receivers can be optimally adapted to internal organisational structures and nursing methods e.g. to the application of integral nursing concepts where each resident calls his/her assigned carer. Alphanumerical displays on the receivers are just as normal today as the integration of information transmission on mobile telephones according to DECT standards.

The reachability of the entire staff is of decisive importance, particularly in todays increasingly extensive care facilities.

A wireless paging system offers the ideal addition to our clino opt and clino phon call systems to meet this, and many other requirements. In addition, it is a great advantage to be able to contact the manager or the technical department of the institution at any time.
