Real-time location
Knowing where staff, assets and help are.
Location applications run on top of the nurse call platform rather than beside it, so presence, asset tracking and duress alarms reach the same displays as clinical calls.
Where it fits
- Hospital wards and departments
- Mental health and psychiatric units
- Care and nursing homes
- Custody suites, courts and detention facilities
- Public-facing reception and assessment areas
Designed against
BS 8300 accessible WC assistance alarms
Real-time location
Our scope
What we do on these systems.
- 01Establish which problem is actually being solved (presence automation, equipment loss, or lone-worker safety) before specifying hardware
- 02Design receiver coverage and density room by room, and confirm it by survey rather than assumption
- 03Specify tag types, fixings and battery replacement regimes against the site’s cleaning and infection-control routine
- 04Design duress escalation: who is alerted, on what device, in what order, and what happens if nobody accepts
- 05Integrate accessible WC assistance alarms so they escalate properly rather than sounding locally and being missed
- 06Agree with information governance how location data is retained and who may see it
Platform
What the system does.
EZ LOCATE is manufactured by Schrack Seconet. Product names and specifications are theirs.
- Automatic staff presence registration on room entry, removing the manual press
- Asset tracking for mobile medical equipment, with last-known-location reporting
- Staff attack and personal duress alarms, fixed and body-worn
- Duress alarms routed to the same displays and mobile devices as clinical calls
- Escalation to pagers and DECT handsets where an existing estate is in place
- Location events recorded alongside call events in one activity log
Documentation
Documents open on the manufacturer’s site so you always get the current revision.
