The Ascom Healthcare Platform has clinicians’ insights built into its very DNA. Each of its seven solutions has been designed in close cooperation with frontline caregivers. And to keep the solutions optimized, we’re continuously gathering clinicians’ feedback. Using it to refine the solutions, as well as our worldwide training and support programs.
The UK's first ‘paperless’ hospital improved clinical safety and cut working time. Theatre recovery throughput dramatically improved, saving up to 15 minutes per patient (average 30 procedures a day) in moving through recovery and back to the wards.
The Myco 4 smartphone puts the power of the Ascom Healthcare Platform in the palm of your hand. Helping you connect everyone in your team, coordinate care more effectively and less stressfully. What’s more, it has the latest in personal alarm features so you always feel safe at work.
Put the Myco 4 smartphone at the heart of your smart nurse call system. High-performance but with a rugged design for demanding working environments, the Myco 4 helps clinicians contact the right person at the right time, receive timely and easy-to-prioritize alerts, and refer to detailed patient information on the move.
Solution components such as pillow speakers empower patients and reassure families. Patients can simply push pre-programmed buttons to send specific requests to designated caregivers. And as staff don’t waste time walking to ask what patients require, they can respond faster to patient requests. All of which helps improve patient satisfaction and hospital rankings.
Ascom smart nurse call systems mark a true evolution from traditional nurse call. They capture and share information from multiple sources to help ensure faster response times, while empowering patients to control their own environments.
See how Ascom smart nurse call systems work in the real world of everyday patient care—and how it represents a true evolution beyond conventional nurse call systems.
Crucially, the technology development work was done by clinicians. It meant we had genuine engagement with nurses and other stakeholders as we carefully planned the hospital from the start – taking in the views of estates, IT, domestic staff, porters, admin, allied health and medical staff.
See how London’s Chase Farm Hospital—the UK’s first new-build ‘paperless’ facility—exploits its Ascom solutions to improve workflows and cut the time clinicians spend on administration.
