Doctor and dentist practices have traditionally had a variety of inefficiencies. One such issue is with nurse call. A new system provides nurses with better efficiency allowing them time to perform all necessary tasks…

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulate all nurse call systems. OSHA is a part of the United States Department of Labor and is run by the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health, David Michaels. Michaels answers to the Secretary of Labor, Mr. Seth D. Harris. Underwriters Law (UL) 1069 Section 1.1 provides a summary. “These requirements cover the individual units employed to form a hospital nurse call system (NCS) intended to provide audible and visual communication between patients and hospital personnel.” Inefficiency With The “Out Of The Box” Approach.

Underwriters Law (UL) 1069 Section 1.1 provides a summary. “These requirements cover the individual units employed to form a hospital nurse call system (NCS) intended to provide audible and visual communication between patients and hospital personnel.”

Inefficiency With The “Out Of The Box” Approach

All nurse call systems that are presently used must meet minimum requirements to be in operation. This is a problem that administrators often run into in these call systems “out of the box” approach. Administrators are being required to purchase parts that they neither need nor want in order to meet the minimum requirements to operate under the law.

Section 1.2 informs us of the minimal requirements. “An NCS minimally employs fundamental devices that perform these fundamental operations as follows:

a) Notification - Call annunciation at a primary nurse's station (audible and visual on a wired device - signal and power),

b) Notification - Call annunciation at the dome light,

c) Notification - Call-placed indicator on the patient station (visual),

d) Notification - Zone annunciation (audible and visual), and

e) Call reset/cancellation.
