What are staff locating system?

Answer 1

Staff locating a solution hospitals employ to understand the following (and more) - Amount of time caregivers spend with patients - Average response times to patient calls - Caregivers use it to find other caregivers (instead of screaming down the hallway or using overhead paging - both of which disrupt the quiet environment and inhibit healing). Essentially, the caregivers wear badges that use infrared technology. When they walk into a patient room (or really into any area that has a received - hallways, linen closet, medicine closet, lounge, etc) the nurse call system recognizes that caregiver as being at a particular location. The best staff location solution is integrated into the nurse call system. This allows caregivers to see the location of their peers from any patient room, nurse's station, etc and communicate with them via audio stations mounted on the wall and/or via the caregiver's wireless phone.
