Evaluate Your Facility's Needs

The first step in setting up your nurse call system is to evaluate your healthcare facility's specific needs, which will be drastically different from regional medical centers to nursing homes. Consider factors such as size, patient/resident population, and any particular needs that should be taken into account. During this planning phase, gather insights from staff, patients, and family members that will help to tailor the system's functionality to meet their requirements. Symtech Solutions' customized nurse call systems always begin with a site visit and thorough analysis, so we can devise the perfect solution for your needs. Call today.

Install the Nurse Call System

Once your healthcare facility's needs have been evaluated and the best solution has been identified, the next step is to install the nurse call system that's right for you. Depending on the size of your facility, you may need to install wires and receivers or install wireless transmitters in various areas throughout the facility. This step will require skilled expertise to ensure that the installation is performed correctly and does not interfere with other communications systems. In fact, our life safety communication systems, including nurse call systems, integrate seamlessly with your existing system. Learn more today.

Train Staff

Once the nurse call system has been installed at your healthcare facility, staff training is crucial. This step will ensure that staff understands precisely how to use the system, how to respond to patient/resident requests, and how to troubleshoot the system if necessary. Staff will also need to learn how to use the nurse call system's communication features to ensure that patients/residents receive accurate information and updated information. When you partner with Symtech Solutions, staff training is included in our packages. Call today.

Test the System

To ensure that the nurse call system is working correctly, you should run a series of tests to check that all components are functioning correctly and communicating with each other without interference. Through these tests, any areas where the nurse call system needs improvement can be identified and resolved before being put into use for patients/residents. This is standard protocol for our installed systems. We don't leave until we know everything is in working order.

Maintenance and Upgrades

After the nurse call system has been installed, tested, and trained, the system needs to be maintained regularly to ensure continued optimum performance. Routine maintenance will help to identify minor problems before they develop into full-scale breakdowns. Upgrades to your nurse call system will also help keep it running smoothly, keep the software current, and ensure that it meets the latest safety regulations. Symtech Solutions offers 24/7 customer service support in case you have problems, and we offer routine system maintenance and upgrades. Call today.
