Patients who pay for a private room expect a call to be answered. Here is how a call system protects the experience.
Key takeaways
- Attention you can see
- Answered by voice
- Family reassurance
- Brand protection
01The problem
A private room sells quiet and attention. A patient who presses and waits, and a family who watches the door, are the ones who write the review. A call system in every private room, with a lamp and a named message at the station, makes the promise of attention visible.

05What we supply
We design, supply and install nurse call systems for wards, clinics and care homes, on IP and SIP networks. Fanvil's IP nurse call range is one option we quote, alongside others, and we recommend whichever fits your ward. Send us the room count and we reply with a written quote.
06How to put it to the hospital
Start with the problem in a private ward that the people you are speaking to already know, then show the lamp over the door and the message at the station. Quote the buttons, call points, lamps and station for a private ward, and say clearly that the system supports staff and does not replace rounds.
