BCAC Nurse Call & Care Management System brings nurses and patients closer

icpr

Patients need to be able to call a nurse anytime and get immediate attention. Nurses need to instantly determine the condition of a patient who calls, and to give prompt, appropriate treatment. CARECOM developed the BCAC nurse call & care management system to meet both of these needs. That’s why CARECOM’s BCAC nurse call & care management system can contribute toward earning JCI and TEMOS certification.

Patient Safety

Nurses need to respond flexibly to individual patients depending on their particular condition. Our products provide various functions to support nursing that keeps patients safe.

Sounds, colors and icons enable intuitive judgment of patient call status.

Audible and colored indicators on the master unit enable nurses to check things intuitively by sound and sight, from the patient’s room number to the call situation. Nurses can also tell immediately from the various icons on the LCD whether a call is general or an emergency, or if a cord has fallen out or an intravenous drip finished. This helps them to respond appropriately even when busy.

Nurses can check the state of patients and rooms at a glance.

Information such as the condition of the patient, the state of the room, or the type of nursing being given can be color-coded using the four-color care level dial. Operation can be set up to meet different situations. This allows effective response to emergency situations such as fire or earthquake.

Intravenous drips can be checked even from a nurse station.

Nurses can tell whether an intravenous drip has finished even when they are away from the patient’s room, in their nurse station or the corridor, giving both nurses and the patient a greater sense of security. Linking the system to medical equipment also enables safe monitoring of the patient’s condition.

Even patients unable to push a button can call a nurse.

Our unique care sensor gives patients with muscular dystrophy or ALS the peace of mind of being able to call a nurse by just blowing, speaking, touching, or waving a hand. A mat sensor is also available to notify staff that a patient has left his or her bed.

A full history of calls by each patient can be recorded.

Analyzing historical data such as call frequency by room or by time can help to provide even better nursing.
