# Nurse Call Systems for Hospital Wards

A nurse call system lets a patient press a button and the nurses see which bed called. It shortens response and spares night staff from walking every corridor.

It is 2 a.m. and a patient presses for help. Who hears it?

Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that.

**In this guide you will see:**

- Help at the press of a button
- Nurses see which bed
- Corridor lamps

Why this matters now

## Every night without a working call system is a night a patient can only hope someone walks past.

### If you wait

- A patient waits, unsure anyone knows, and presses again
- Nurses walk every corridor to find out who called
- Families judge your ward by the call that went unanswered

### What you get

- One press lights the door and names the room at the station
- Nurses go straight to the right bed
- Patients and families see a ward that listens

## Key takeaways

- Help at the press of a button
- Nurses see which bed
- Corridor lamps
- Fewer wasted rounds

## Why it matters

On a ward at night, a patient who needs help cannot shout across the room. A button at the bed lights a lamp in the corridor and shows the bed number at the nurses' station, so the nurse goes straight to the right bed.

**Help at the press of a button**: Patients call without shouting or waiting for a round.

**Nurses see which bed**: The station display shows the room and bed.

**Corridor lamps**: A light over the door shows which room called.

**Fewer wasted rounds**: Staff go where they are called.

| Reliability | Test every button each week |
| Cleaning | Wipeable buttons and cords |

2. **Choose the system**: Wired or radio, with the receiver at the station.
3. **Install buttons and lamps**: At each bed, bathroom and door.
4. **Test every point**: We press every button and check the display.
5. **Train the nurses**: How to answer, cancel and test.
