Formerly known as the Versus real-time locating system (RTLS), Midmark RTLS uses automated, accurate data to improve the experience between patient and caregiver.

Together, Midmark RTLS and Ascom have successfully received interoperability certification for automating nurse presence within the Telligence Nurse Call system with Midmark RTLS Bridge for Ascom Unite and Ascom Connect for RTLS.

Challenges and solution

Challenge

In its mission to provide high-quality, safe patient care, a hospital’s most important asset is its nursing team. Nurses must be able to manage many tasks with ease, yet nursing teams are often short-staffed and stretched thin.

Solution

As long-standing integration partners, Midmark RTLS and Ascom aim to lighten nurse workload by using RTLS technology to streamline workflow, maximize productivity and save time, ultimately helping nurses provide the highest level of patient care. And because Midmark RTLS is the market leader in location accuracy, data reliability and cost effectiveness, a Midmark RTLS integration is the clear choice to enhance your Ascom nurse call system.

Key Benefits

The Midmark RTLS-Ascom integration adds location intelligence to your Telligence system, enabling clinical staff to:

  • Go straight to patient care. Patient calls are canceled automatically when entering the room, eliminating the need to press the cancel button. Clinical staff can immediately focus on the patient.
  • Keep a safer, more hygienic environment. No cancel button means fewer touch points for germs to spread.
  • Accurately record response times. Responses to patient calls are recorded immediately, accurately and automatically. Response records provide unbiased data for patient satisfaction and safety initiatives. 
  • Automatically document time spent in patient care. Know exactly how often and how long your nurses and other clinical staff are at the bedside to better inform staffing strategies and resource allocation. 
  • Know the status of your unit at a glance. When a caregiver enters or exits a patient room, Midmark RTLS activates the appropriate presence light.

Customized messaging

Communicate more effectively with custom messages using the Midmark RTLS Bridge for Ascom Unite.

With this integration, you can send near real-time notifications from Midmark RTLS directly to any device supported by the Ascom Unite Messaging Suite to enhance staff safety. For example, when a Midmark RTLS badge button is pressed, a Staff Assist notification shows who needs assistance and where they are, so help can be sent quickly. 

Customer feedback

“Rather than documenting when a button was pressed, which might be longer than the actual response time, [the RTLS] allows us to document the exact moment the nurse attended to the patient.”
