Critical Alert Launches Expanded Product and Market Strategy: Aiming...
Summary
John Elms, Critical Alert’s CEO contends that the nurse call industry has long been doing a disservice to hospitals by ignoring medical device alarms and event notifications. “Our desire is to completely redefine the fractured patient communications strategy crusaded by the legacy nurse call vendors,” said Elms. It is inconceivable that the sum total of patient communications handled by nurse call systems have up until now been limited to the pressing of buttons or pulling of switches,” stated Elms. “Patient care does not end at the bed rail, it’s comprised of the medical devices and information systems in the room, the phones in the pockets of the caregivers and the analytics on the computer screens of the leadership team. Critical Alert promotes a solution-set of enterprise, software-based products, services and strategies that enable community-based and independent hospitals to give a voice to their patients, empower their clinical staff with actionable intelligence, unburden their support and IT teams and save money.
