Focused on Patient Safety: Provider® 790 Nurse Call Wireless Integration to Stryker® iBed® Platform

NILES, Ill. - June 28, 2016 - PRLog -- A primary focus of Jeron's Provider Nurse Call Systems has been to enhance the safety of patients who use their products and integrations. Today, Jeron is excited to announce the next level of integration with the wireless Stryker iBed platform to Provider 790 Nurse Call. Through this wireless interface, key Stryker bedside safety attributes and alarms are shared with the Provider 790 Nurse Call System.

The iBed safety attributes such as brake, iBed Awareness, low bed height, siderails, and bed exit can be monitored remotely from any Windows^® computer on the facility's network using Jeron's Provider "PC Console Display" software. Remote monitoring of each bed safety attributes saves caregivers time from manually checking and rechecking each bed. The Jeron PC Console Display also delivers a wide breadth of activity and status information from routine, emergency, and code blue nurse call alerts, workflow events, and staff locations, in addition to continuously monitoring iBed information.

When a patient initiates an alarm on the bed, such as a bed exit, the integration with Jeron's Provider 790 Nurse Call immediately notifies caregivers to the urgent situation by illuminating the dome light outside the patient room, sounding emergency alert tones at nurse consoles and duty stations, and routing the active alert directly to caregivers' in-house wireless phones. The phone alerts come through from just a few patient rooms away to across an entire hospital campus.

"We know that nurses spend at least 1-2 hours per shift checking beds to proactively ensure patient safety," said Myles Cochran, Jeron's Director of Marketing. "Monitoring on the iBed platform, combined with the wireless integration to Provider Nurse Call, takes patient safety monitoring and alerting to a new level to improve care efficiencies. With multiple modes of communications and alerting through Provider Nurse Call, it allows staff to move from reactive to proactive, identifying risks and reducing adverse events more often."
