Challenge
This major operation consisted in a total make-over of the existing care infrastructure as well as the equipment of new buildings, construed as one multisite, including speech facilities. Re-using the available cabling and with a very specific and individual software programation.
Replacement of the existing nursecall, during daily continuity of all hospital activities. Several different buildings to be interconnected as one multi-side, using one telephony/DECT solution. The installation of a Full-IP nurse call system was necessary in order to maintain a uniform, top-end technologically for all buildings, both the existing as the new units.
Solution
As iCall is the only supplier on the global market that can work on any type of cabling, without the need of any servers or middleware, with a very detailed personal programation of all entities and locations, this was a perfect match for all involved. Combining wired and wireless options, VoIP-solutions and the recuperation of existing installations and cabling, integrating mobile (Android) and RFID-solutions and making one very specific multisite out of it, was the unique way to go and to offer best possible service to staff and visitors.
Result
Best possible service to staff and visitors is guaranteed, with a most efficient visitor’s care and best possible staff efficiency, consolidating as such the European landmark that the Da Luz facilities are.
