Today we met with Ideacom, the vendor for our West-Call nurse call system. This was their second demo on the system. NICU had the first hour, Mom/Baby, Imaging, and Gyn had the second hour. Each nicu patient room will have two wall stations.

| Red Staff Emergency button will notify the Nurse and RT assigned to the room, as well as the Charge Nurse on that floor. This could take the place of our current "RESPIRATORY" call. Code Blue Button will notify the 2nd floor Charge Nurse, Delivery Nurse, Float RT, Floor RT, and the Neo or NNP. |
 |
| Red and Blue buttons will elicit the same responses as the unit above. The Green Button will alarm at the front desk. Anyone who answers that green "nurse call" button call will be able to speak into the room via the speaker. Currently, the thought is to avoid speaking through that wall speaker, which is located right behind the baby's giraffe, and would add unnecessary noise. The outlet on the left, under the red button, is where the vents plug into, alarming us of vent disconnect or malfunctions. The outlet on the right, under the blue button is where the pillow speaker plugs into. Currently, the thought is to solely use the pillow speaker as a remote control for the tv. |

| This is the master station that will be housed at the HUC/Reception desk. Assignments will be entered at this unit, linking the caregivers, with phones and badge locators. These assignments may be entered up to 4 hours before shift change. AHCA requires that these are manned at all times, therefore, the HUC may not step away without being relieved. Good night all! I'll post more tomorrow, when my eyes aren't rolling backwards :) Monica |
