In no case, however, is it possible by means of this known transmission options and symbols to determine where in a building or building complex there is a patient or a machine. If you want to hit this plague, you either have to find a special one Use a map or a table, but this is cumbersome and time-consuming.

It is also common practice to use signal systems to call out to people correspond to numbered or labeled buttons on a control panel or desk.

This disadvantage is to be remedied by the renewal. According to The service panel in the control center is used for the innovation as the carrier of bymuol ^ n for the floor plan of the building or floor or part of it with the existing rooms. In the rooms as well as outside of the Zügöördneiien The ground plan symbols are light buttons that can be operated alternately by people for operating speech and hearing devices arranged. The actuation of an illuminated button located in a room brings the on the floor plan symbol their assigned light button to light up and the subsequent actuation establishes a speech or audio connection between the room and the headquarters. The fact that the illuminated buttons are assigned to a floor plan symbol is in the control center when a lighted button lights up, it can be determined at any time without further aids where in the building concerned help is needed. By pressing a certain illuminated button in the control center, there is still the possibility of to request the help you need as soon as possible from the place where it is needed, because both from the ground plan symbol It can be seen at which point the help is needed, as well as at which point in the building the help is requested will.

therefore immediately sees which types of τοη call wishes are foolish, and because they establish a voice connection directly with the calling patient by pressing the illuminated button can, she immediately adjusts to his wishes. Also the importance or urgency can be derived from the color immediately recognizable by the lighting up lamp in the illuminated button because if a special color lights up, this means, for example, an emergency call from the bathroom or toilet.

Since the control panel is provided with a floor plan symbol, the operator can estimate the spatial distance, for example between the patient's bed or the bathroom, where Help is requested, and the body v / o is a helper, nurse, head nurse or a Doctor stops. For this it is necessary that the hospital staff is identified by a lamp on the control panel. This is done by combining it with the following facility:

As soon as a member of the hospital staff enters a room - regardless of which room it is, patient room, Kitchenette, service room, nurses' lounge, Treatment room etc. - a button is pressed and switched off again when leaving. This button is located on a small board right next to the entrance hall of each Space. The button provides a "presence circuit", whereby the operator at the control panel at any time use a search switch to highlight the relevant lamps

can light up, so that she can make sure in which rooms are nurses, primary nurses or doctors stop. This creates the possibility for the operating person, after they have received a call for help,

the next
to appoint the next nurse or doctor. The shortest routes, which you can take from the floor plan symbol, indicate to which nurse the patient's wishes gSääge WSx ¹ USS SOllSx

The search circuit can preferably be operated by a button on the control panel so that the lights that indicate v / o nursing staff is located, can only be brought to light briefly so as not to constantly burn Illuminated buttons the registration of patient calls, which light up the illuminated buttons corresponding to the beds, disturb.

According to the fire, an exact floor plan is therefore a symbol necessary on a reduced scale. It is only from this scale symbol that it is possible to judge which sister odo like. The patient seeking help is closest.

This control panel relieves the nursing staff a lot, because it costs more than $ 50 the otherwise conventional ways saved. In return, $ 50 more is available for care time and for contact with patients. the Patients feel immediately that they are being better cared for,

because all your wishes are immediately heard and dealt with by the operation of the desk using the voice connection v / earth ο

A central control panel of this type with a floor plan symbol also allows special notes to be marked which relate to the specified signals from the call station. For this purpose, in the Iväriö the bScreffβϊϊ & Θϊΐ illumination key may be a colored, needle be inserted or colored rings can be placed around the illumination key around. This information makes it possible to see, for example, the price in or vacancy of patient beds in sick rooms at a glance.

The affiliation of the patient from the point of view of costs can also be marked with colored rings, e.g. private patients, Health insurance patients, accident patients, etc. can be seen at a glance.

In the case of the illuminated buttons that correspond to the microphone units in the nurses' rooms, additional Color indicates whether it is head sister, ward nurse, apprentice nurse or other operating personnel acts.

On the other side of an aisle there may be several office rooms, E.g. a sister tinuner, corresponding to a white illuminated button, as well as a bathroom or a WC, corresponding to a yellow light button, and a kitchen, corresponding to a purple light button.

According to the floor plan symbol, the innovation is immediately at the Illumination of a button by the operator to recognize from which room the call is coming and who is connecting and you can therefore adjust to which operator when the lamp lights up in the button closest to the calling patient.

In addition to the green illuminated button for the patient beds, there are holes in the control panel to accommodate colored sta-

Next to this colored light keypad listed above the control panel has a function key strip, which is also equipped with colored buttons.

These buttons have the following meanings:

white button = search button for nurses or doctors

red button = talk-listen button

green button = release = and disconnect button

black button = decentralization button

"ALL" key = call to ALL

In the patient rooms there is:

1) A bed fitting on each bed, either a wall-mounted installation or a swivel fitting

This fitting is equipped with:

one red button = call button four blue buttons = program selection buttons Radio or music broadcast, entertainment program, .Volume control, loudspeaker (speaking-listening), pick-up for earpiece, plug-in device for airne button.

In the service rooms - doctor's treatment rooms, operating theater, preparation, Find delivery, kitchenette, doctor's room, ward room the corresponding TJP fittings for presence, Call and shutdown as well as a flush-mounted device, (loudspeaker, Control lamps.)

If the patient presses the red call button on his bed fitting, the assigned red room lamp and the green bed lamp light up intermittently on the control panel and at the same time a short acoustic warning signal sounds, the green light on the extension in the room lights up The calming indicator light comes on, lights up above the door in the corridor the room lamp to "red".

The nurse at the control panel presses the green intermittently glowing bed lamp and has the patient with the Speech connection. The red room lamp in the control panel

now remains as a standing light. (Check that the patient call is not yet done).

The nurse can speak to the patient by pressing the talk / listen button on the control panel. (Intercom connection).

If the patient's request can be dealt with through this conversation, the nurse presses on the control panel the delete key, which extinguishes all lamps, and the conversation is over.

But if the nurse at the control panel has to be a nurse to handle this patient call on the relevant ward, If you notify a ward nurse or a ward doctor, she presses the nurse, ward nurse or doctor search button.

Immediately all room lamps on the control panel light up intermittently in which the presence button is pressed by those to be called (nurses, ward nurses, doctors).

The operator at the control panel knows by pressing a button where the person to be called is. The floor plan symbol immediately shows which sister or which Doctor is closest to the patient seeking help.

The corresponding room key is now on the control panel is printed, the talk button is pressed and the person to be called is spoken to via the loudspeaker (extension).

Can the patient call be received from the person addressed

are released, she goes to the patient's room in question and presses the presence button when entering the room, which means that the (all) lamps go out.

If the red lamp for the room in question has gone out on the control panel, then the patient call has been completed has been, i.e. a nurse serves the patient.

If the red room lamp remains on the control panel, will reminds the person addressed to complete the patient call.

No patient call can therefore be lost.
