<p>Global solutions provider Ascom has introduced a modular, scalable patient-response system to Australia and New Zealand: Ascom Telligence. </p><p>Designed to elevate nurse call for optimum patient-centric care, Ascom Telligence allows caregivers to access relevant information at the point of care and throughout the care process. </p><p> Built on the Ascom Healthcare Platform, which collects information from multiple sources — the patient, medical devices, healthcare applications and other systems — Ascom Telligence integrates with a facility’s current devices and applications and can easily be expanded over time to meet future requirements. </p><p>The flexible system offers everything from a standalone nurse call system to a fully integrated, end-to-end patient response solution. Each module provides a solid foundation for ongoing patient response improvements. “We’re introducing Ascom Telligence, which has a history as a market-leading brand in North America, Asia and the Middle East,” Ascom Australia Country Manager David Williams said. </p><p>“The Ascom Telligence Nurse Call system will define workflows in a new way by providing easy access to relevant information at the point of care, so patient needs are handled promptly.” The system provides clinicians with a comprehensive view of a patient’s status that goes well beyond traditional nurse call.</p><p> As a result, caregivers are better informed when responding to patient requests. Features of Ascom Telligence include: </p><ul><li> ability to leverage and enhance nurse call infrastructure with communication and documentation tools; </li><li> quick charting via new Ascom TelliConnect station for easy access to the EMR and other relevant information (eg, applications, patient devices and monitors) </li><li>SafeConnect magnetic plugs safely connect auxiliary devices to the Ascom Telligence system, and magnetic connectors release easily, minimising the possibility of device damage in the patient room; </li><li> in-room presence automatic capture; </li><li> nurse rounding recognition.</li></ul><p>This article was originally posted via our partner Australian Hospital and Healthcare Bulletin on Monday 22 February 2021.
