Responder IV/5 Integrated Nurse Call Features Elpas RTLS Functionality

Visonic Technologies and Rauland-Borg announce the interoperability of Elpas RTLS technology with legacy Responder IV Nurse Call installations. Thanks to Responder 5’s new interoperable platform, hospitals implementing the Network Adaptor Module (NAM) to update their Responder IV installations can now utilize the open integrations functionality of Responder 5 Software to add Elpas RTLS technology. Now Responder IV installations can support real-time staff presence functionality throughout the hospital to room and sub-room level accuracy, automatic visual indication that a patient’s needs are being responded to and automatic nurse call cancellation.

Hospitals may easily leverage their Elpas RTLS investment to enhance other areas of patient and personnel safety including Infant/Baby Protection in maternity wards, Staff Attack/Duress Alerting and Wandering Patient Supervision. Elpas Active RFID/RTLS can also be scaled to Manage Medical Assets in order to reduce shrinkage and lower maintenance related labor costs without degradation to nurse call functionality.
