San Mateo, CA, April 25, 2012 -Jeron Electronic Systems Inc.
announced a partnership with Brekeke Software, Inc. that will
integrate the company's Provider 790 nurse call system to enterprise
level SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) wireless telephony systems in
acute care facilities.
Adding SIP wireless phone integration to Provider 790's VoIP-based
communications platform untethers staff from the nursing stations and
delivers mission-critical nurse call alerting and communication to
mobile caregivers. Provider 790 SIP wireless phone integration
functionality includes:
- Team Nursing Assignments and Rollover - Caregivers are assigned to
receive calls only from their patients. If the first caregiver can't
respond, the call automatically routes to the next caregiver in the
team
- Facility-Wide Alerting and Mobile Communication - Patient calls
route over the facility's LAN to the assigned caregiver's wireless
SIP phone. Mobile caregivers can answer their patients' calls from
any location within the LAN coverage area
- Patient Call Information - The caregiver's phone display includes
the room number, bed (if applicable), and call priority for
patient-initiated calls; caregivers can readily identify patient
calls from other phone calls
- Fast, One-Touch Answering - Pressing the "Talk" button on the SIP
phone provides an instant connection to the nurse call intercom
station
- No Blocked Calls - Multiple voice paths on the nurse call and
multiple SIP trunk connections ensures that caregivers will always be
connected to their patients when pressing "Talk" on a ringing phone
- No Special Codes to Remember - While communicating with their
patient, pressing the "*" key brings up a voice prompt menu of
options, such as setting service requirement or upgrading the patient
call
- Remote Service Requirement Setting - After determining their
patients needs, caregivers can set a Service Requirement to dispatch
the appropriate team member to respond to the patient in person
Leveraging Brekeke SIP Server with Provider 790 makes integrations
simpler, more flexible, and lowers costs:
- Reduced Licensing Costs - The Provider 790 nurse call is seen as
smaller collection of SIP trunks (rather than a large collection of
SIP endpoints), which lowers SIP licensing costs for the facility's
phone system.
- Uncomplicated Configuration - SIP trunks (as opposed to SIP
endpoints) simplify tying Provider 790 to the facility's SIP phone
system
- Broad Choice of Phone Vendors - SIP Trunk integration allows the
facility to choose the SIP phone system that best meets its needs
According to Myles Cochran, Jeron's Director of Marketing, reliable
wireless communication is a critical tool in providing timely response
to patient demands in the hospital environment. "There is a tremendous
amount of pressure to maintain and improve the level of patient care.
A networked solution for wireless phones increases the efficiency of
staff by keeping mobile caregivers in direct communication with their
patients."
Shinichi Mitsumata, Chief Technology Officer of the San Mateo,
California-based Brekeke Software agrees: "In an environment where
patients' lives are at stake, Brekeke SIP Server adds value as a
component in Jeron's high-performance Provider 790 nurse call
platform. Jeron with our SIP server is a perfect solution for acute
care facilities who need advanced and reliable technology in a simple
package."
