Ahuzat Rishonim Life Care Community, Rishon Lezion, IsraelThe Ahuzat Rishonim Life Care Community, located in Rishon Lezion, Israel, is one of the largest and most spacious residential care centers in Israel. The facility provides its residents with 24-hour healthcare access as well as organized activities in common rooms and open areas throughout the campus. The large facility, with approximately 400 apartments, is equipped with the Responder 5000 nurse call system so residents and staff are always within reach of a call station to summon help if needed.Afcon Control & Automation Ltd, Rauland’s authorized distributor in Israel, installed the system to include a resident check-in function in each apartment. Residents simply press a pushbutton on the Responder 5000 station before a staff-configurable time each day to indicate they are well. An alarm is activated on Responder 5000 if a resident fails to check in before the designated time, thus alerting staff that the resident may require assistance. All call data is collected to help staff keep family members up to date on the status of their loved ones. Residents can be assured that Responder 5000 is ready and available whenever they need to call for assistance. |

Large Health System in TexasIn an effort to improve the patient experience, the largest health system in Texas wanted to optimize nursing care protocols by including the location of the care team, the patient, and the assets used during each episode of care. The local Rauland dealer, Lone Star, had a perfect solution; Rauland EveryWear RTLS and the Responder 5 nurse call system.The powerful combination of these two products and expert knowledge of Lone Star allowed the health system to realize their vision. Now, tasks such as documenting response times for patient requests are automated, time searching for tracked assets is eliminated, and the throughput of patients in OR/ED services lines is improved. The overall patient experience is enhanced with a quiet and efficient healing environment with minimal impact to direct care staff members. Speaking on benefits of the solution, a healthcare executive from the health system noted: “we have been able to create an environment for our clinical team to interact within that most have never experienced. The adoption of the workflows by our nursing staff due to the Responder 5 and Rauland EveryWear functionality has been incredibly well received and continue to receive positive feedback”. |
