Nurse Call Systems directly link patients with nurses and allows them to ring for help quickly. These systems ensure safety of patients because they allow them to contact their nurse by simply pushing a button. The system also allows patients to control the light over their bed as well as the television and radio. The call button is handy and easy to reach. There is also a pillow speaker. In addition, there are call buttons on the wall near the patient’s bed that allows them to talk to their nurse through a microphone. There is also a feature that alerts the nurse’s station when a fall risk patient attempts to get out of bed without assistance from a nurse’s aide. A code blue feature is also included with call systems that alert nurses that a patient is in need of immediate help.
