Those who enter the healthcare profession do so because they want to help people. They swear to uphold specific medical standards and to do no harm, only good. In sum, doctors, nurses, physicians assistants, Certified Nursing Assistants, staff, and everyone working for the healthcare facility are there to help heal people and make them feel better. One could argue that keeping patients staff is an extension of helping people. Thus, those entrusted to our care, especially infants and the elderly, should be kept safe while under your care at your healthcare facility.

From nurse call systems to wander management and infant protection, we can help. Our experienced team has years of experience in helping implement life safety communication systems and rapid response systems.

Nurse Call/Emergency Call

If you think back to the world before cell phones, you’ll remember how you used to have to leave messages on an answering machine and then await hours or more for a return phone call. Now, with cell phones, everyone is literally a phone call away. The same can be said for nurse call systems. Patients are now just a press of a small button away so that if they need anything, if they feel faint, or if there is an emergency, your patients can get in contact with you easily. The care you can provide with instant access is incalculable, especially if you consider patient care without a nurse call or emergency call system. In fact, your healthcare facility should have a nurse call system because of the upgrade to patient care it affords. Symtech Solutions has years of helping your regional medical center, nursing home, and senior living facility devise the perfect nurse call system for your needs.

Wearable Pendants

While the main purpose of wearable pendants is to protect your staff should an emergency situation involving workplace violence arises, there is an important secondary benefit to adding wearable pendants to your repertoire of patient care services: you are also protecting your patients who may not be able to call for help in these situations. Furthermore, hospitals especially must also contend with violence from patients they see, especially in the emergency room where patients can show up high on drugs or inebriated. Panic buttons are a discrete way for your staff to call for help when they feel threatened or they feel their patients under their care may be affected as well.

Wearable pendants offer a sense of security to everyone in your healthcare facility. It is another layer of defense against random violence that no one can predict where or when it will happen. Symtech Solutions offers wearable pendants because it’s always better to be safe rather than sorry. Plus, if they save one life, then the effort put forth will be immeasurable.

Wander Management

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, there are more than six million Americans living with this disease. This number is projected to rise to almost 13 million by 2015. Those who have Alzehimer’s and dementia often don’t know where they are going or why they are going someplace. They can wander off, which then puts them at risk of harm or worse. This tendency is one reason why those suffering from one of these conditions end up in senior living facilities or long-term care facilities.

Luckily, there is new technology you can incorporate into your healthcare facility that will keep these patients safe and that is wander management solutions. Wander management systems use RFID technology to establish a perimeter around your healthcare facility. When your residents wander off, the band they are wearing will alert you that they have gone outside the boundaries. This allows you to find them quickly and get them back safely out of harm’s way. Another benefit of wander prevention technology is that it allows your residents to move around freely and frees up your staff of the constant need to check on their residents to monitor their location. Symtech Solutions has installed hundreds of these wander management systems in healthcare facilities just like yours. Contact us to get started today!

Infant Protection

While infant abduction from hospitals is pretty rare, there are attempts still being made. Usually, these are made by people who want a baby of their own but cannot have one. Historically, not many infants have been abducted from hospitals, but if it does happen, it can be utterly devastating to the parents involved, the staff, and overall staff morale. After all, infants are our most vulnerable population that we all must protect.

Symtech Solutions has partnered with Cuddles, which is an infant protection system that monitors your baby after it has been born. A small band is attached to your baby’s ankle. This band cannot be tampered with without setting off an alarm. If the band is removed or the baby is taken outside of the perimeter, which is usually the floor it is born on, an alarm will sound and the hospital doors will automatically lock. This system has been proven to keep babies safe from abduction and offer parents and staff the peace of mind they need while they are in the hospital. Partner with us today!

From ensuring newborns stay with their parents to keeping dementia patients safe from wandering, our technology can help your healthcare facility offer peace of mind to families and staff.

Let’s face it, the healthcare field is a challenging and, at times, demanding one. Anyway that your organization can help relieve stress and pressure from your staff will help improve patient care, which is the most important measure of success. Patient and staff safety are growing concerns that can utilize technology to help. While random violence can never be stopped, it can be prevented from causing more harm when it does happen.
