Let the technology take the strain
Ultima™ has been designed to be flexible with a range of features to support staff in attending to patients in the shortest possible time, whilst helping with workload management.
Follow-the-light
Upon activation of a call unit, lights strategically placed along corridors and above doorways automatically illuminate to indicate the most direct route to the waiting patient.
To comply with HTM 08:03, follow-the-light is a standard requirement in UK hospitals.
User-defined calls
In addition to the more usual types of call such as 'patient', 'emergency', 'cardiac' and 'toilet', the system can accommodate user-defined levels of call.
Nurse Presence
Activated either automatically as staff move around the hospital or by manual operation of wall mounted switches. The exact location of hospital personnel is known enabling the nearest available member of staff to be re-directed to a waiting patient.
Nurse Presence is often used in conjunction with speech and over door lights.
VoIP speech
Including speech within an
Ultima™ Nurse Call Bedhead Unit allows staff to assess the nature of a patient call and act accordingly without first attending the bedside.
Where required patients can be allocated to specific care teams, and speech can also be used to assist with calls to support teams such as hospitality.
Speech is possible between:-
-
A bedhead unit and a staff indicator
-
Two bedhead units
-
A bedhead unit and smart devices, including Vocera and Avaya handsets
Smart device notification
For staff convenience, alarm calls present on the system can be displayed on smart devices such as mobile phones and tablets. Paging devices are also available.
Patients can be allocated to specific care teams.
Systems integration
Ultima™ is more than a patient call system. It is a flexible ward management solution, designed to assist with and enhance modern nursing practices. An extensive list of optional,
advanced features can be incorporated
