Hospital de Campanha Lagoa-Barra

Brazil is preparing for a surge in COVID-19 patients and expanding their inpatient capacity to care for these critically ill patients. Hospital de Campanha Lagoa-Barra in Rio de Janeiro completed construction of a 210 bed facility in 19 days fully equipped with monitors, ventilators and the Responder 5000 communication system.

The general contractor, Rede D’Or (Brazilian private healthcare group) reached out to Rauland’s authorized reseller, Multitone Electronica Ltda, to complete this critical project. Multitone procured and installed the Responder 5000 solution in 72 hours, creating all the supportive structures needed to place the equipment in an area with very little solid construction. Rio has a population of over 6 million people and this facility will play a vital role in serving the residents in during the pandemic.

Florida Convention Center 

Rauland and a general contractor partnered to build a 450-bed field hospital in a portion of a large convention center in Florida over two weeks in April to help accommodate the expected peak of COVID-19 cases. Construction began in earnest on the $22.5 million dollar project during the second week of April and was wrapped by April 21st.

Rauland’s local authorized reseller, Rauland Florida, designed, installed, and configured the Responder 5 Nurse Call System within the project’s tight schedule. Some of the configuration details included Responder 5 patient stations on prefabricated head walls, corridor lights, and call cords in modules of 30 beds per nursing station with consoles.

SUNY Old Westbury Campus

Rauland authorized reseller, Ronco, Inc., was approached to provide a nurse call solution for a 575-bed field hospital at the SUNY campus in Old Westbury, NY. Confronted with multiple problems, including a tight turnaround schedule, the field hospital needed more than just a call button, it had to link caregivers and patients and provide code blue alerts.

Ronco chose Rauland Responder 5000 for the field hospital and was able to deliver just five days after receiving the order. Fully voice-enabled, Responder 5000 allows clinicians to communicate directly with patients from a safe distance. After a short two week installation, the suburban Long Island field hospital was completed on April 29, 2020 in time to accommodate the overflow of patients during the coronavirus pandemic.

Wisconsin Life Care Community

A Wisconsin-based life care community campus offering assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation services for seniors, sought to upgrade its nurse call system to a new, modern critical communications systems for it's residents. Local Rauland reseller, Northern Musicast, Inc., chose Rauland Responder for its ability to drive better productivity and enable faster response times and satisfaction in the delivery of care.

The new advanced Rauland system is providing numerous benefits to the facility. New workflows that incorporate unique combinations of corridor lights and audio tones help the care team quickly identify between emergency and routine requests. These simple steps make a huge impact when keeping a home-like, safe and quiet environment is a top priority.
