Acute Care Solutions

Smarter Communication & Workflows for Complex Hospital Environments

Acute care hospitals are navigating unprecedented challenges. Staffing shortages, clinician burnout, and rising operational demands are reshaping the healthcare landscape.Nearly 900,000 registered nurses are expected to leave the workforce by 2027, intensifying the need for streamlined communication and support systems that help care teams stay connected and responsive.

Rauland’s Responder platform is a hospital communication and clinical workflow solution that helps administrators reduce staff burden, improve patient safety, and optimize resources. Backed by trusted manufacturing and local clinical and technical support, Responder enables hospitals to deliver consistent, high-quality care at scale.

Solutions for Every Acute Care Environment

Responder supports a wide range of hospital environments from large academic medical centers to small rural hospitals and multi-site health systems. Whether you're managing a single unit or an entire network, our solutions scale to meet your needs.

Hospitals and Health Systems

Large health systems and Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) require enterprise-wide visibility, consistency, and scalability when selecting their technology. The Responder platform is purpose-built to support these complex environments, connecting multiple hospitals, wings, and departments under a single, centralized system. With standardized workflows, real-time analytics, and seamless integrations across EMRs, RTLS, and virtual care platforms, health systems can ensure consistent care delivery and operational efficiency across their entire network.

Academic Medical Centers and Large Hospitals

In high-acuity, high-volume environments, like academic medical centers, communication and coordination are crucial. Rauland’s solutions support complex workflows across emergency departments, intensive care units (ICUs), surgical suites, and inpatient units. Responder enables rapid response, real-time alerts, and intelligent call routing, empowering clinicians to focus on patient care while reducing alarm fatigue and documentation burden.

Community and Regional Hospitals

Mid-sized hospitals often serve as the backbone of regional healthcare delivery. Rauland’s scalable solutions help these facilities improve staff efficiency, reduce patient wait times, and enhance safety. With Responder, hospitals can standardize rounding protocols, automate documentation, and gain actionable insights to optimize staffing and throughput—all while maintaining a high-touch patient experience.

Critical Access and Small Hospitals

Small and rural hospitals face unique challenges, including limited staff, tight budgets, and broad responsibilities. Responder delivers the same great performance when deployed at a smaller scale. For facilities with limited IT infrastructure, Responder supports efficient communication, fall prevention, and workflow automation. With local distributor support and centralized dashboards, smaller facilities can deliver the same high-quality care as larger systems while maximizing limited resources.
