Elpas Active RFID/RTLS Wireless Nurse Call Solutions are designed to meet the changing demands of acute care hospitals, long-term nursing care facilities and senior living communities. Elpas Wireless Nurse Call Solutions give your patients peace of mind by knowing that they are just a button push away from help from anywhere within the facility. Our complete range of advanced, customized nurse call solutions can suit every requirement, whether a large multi-ward hospital, or a small nursing home, Elpas has the right solution for your needs.

How Elpas Nurse Call Works

Patients are issued Elpas Active RFID Pendants or Wrist Bands that feature wireless call functionality. In the event of an emergency the patient simply presses the device’s call button.

A fixed Elpas Ethernet/Wi-Fi Infrastructure installed throughout the facility  receives the patient’s emergency call  and  relays this location& ID data to the Eiris Tracking & Management Platform.

Eiris nurse stations display the real-time locations of the patients requiring assistance, graphically overlaid on hospital floor plans and provide interactive screens for managing the lifecycle of  the received patient calls. Eiris also supports robust alert and paging options thatdelivers the patient’s call, 24hrs-a-day to the right responder no matter where the caregiver happens to be.

Field-Tested RTLS Integration Solutions

Elpas also has field-tested, RTLS Integration Solutions for your pre-existing or new nurse call systems. Adding the real-time ability to identify the precise location of the patient requiring assistance or finding the nearest qualified medical responder with room level and sub-room level precision is a great example of how Elpas RTLS functionality can reduce medical staff response times. Accurate RTLS can also automate nurse call cancellations, generate staff-specific patient call logs, facilitate care giver guideline compliance  and provide the basis for patient flow automation.

All Elpas Wireless Nurse Call Solutions can be field-tailored to fit the medical care and security practices of any facility and can be scaled to deliver other Elpas Safety, Security & Visibility Solutions without degradation to the original nurse call functionality.

Wireless resident key and door access control with built-in help button.

Like keys to a house, this is an easy solution that allows residents regular movement and independence. It’s remarkably simple. Equip each resident with a wireless key that fits on any keychain, wear it as a pendant or even a bracelet. Without being taken out of a pocket, doors the resident is allowed to pass through will open by proximity, up to 15 feet away.

The EZ Key™ allows wheelchair-bound residents hands-free, unsupervised movement. It opens doors the resident is welcome to enter, such as an exercise room.

Like all our technology, the EZ Key™ has a built-in wireless help button that works anywhere within the facility and grounds. The discreet emergency alert will summon immediate assistance, in any manner the facility desires—text, email, phone, pager—also reporting the resident’s location.

Residents appreciate the idea they can lock their own rooms so that only authorized nursing staff and their own EZ Key™ will open the door. This prevents other patients from wandering in, and offers a sense of security for a resident’s personal space and possessions.

When residents are offered freedom and more privacy, they are more likely to embrace new technology. That’s what makes EZ Key™ so appealing to seniors and facility managers. Keys are familiar. Everyone has them. It’s an ingrained concept that keys unlock doors—to your home, work, car. Lots of healthy people even have personal alarms on their key chain, so the EZ Key’s emergency button is just extra peace of mind.

Secure, non removable bracelet with resident key for dementia and Alzheimer’s patients.

Freedom to explore

EZ Keep™ is our solution to protecting residents who chronically wander, or who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.

EZ Keep™ gives residents freedom of movement to approved locations within the facility, yet provides continuous monitoring of the resident’s location. Care staff are alerted when a resident wanders accidentally through an exit or door. The wrist watch tag is washable and tamper proof. EZ Keep™ is a cost-effective, dignified solution that keeps memory-challenged residents safe.

Reduce staff workload

EZ Keep™ reduces the workload required to keep track of chronic wanderers. Staff members, facility visitors and other residents can move freely; only the wandering patient encounters locked doors. This allows care homes to deal with the challenge of residents at different stages of dementia, some who need more security measures and restrictions than others.

Make life easier for your staff!

EZ Pass™ is the modern solution to time sheets, staff protection, and door access. EZ Pass™ looks like a normal employee identification badge but works as a keyless, hands-free entry system with real-time locating ability.

Most importantly, EZ Pass™ has a discreet and unnoticeable emergency distress button on the back of the tag. Unobtrusively in a duress situation, a staff member can push the button and have security alerted to the location of the incident.

Better personnel administration

EZ Pass™ can track visits and length of staff response to individual rooms plus log time and attendance, improving staff efficiency.

Big button, easy to use residential telephone. Allows for two-way voice between caregiver and resident.

Resident phones that do so much more

Our big-button telephone, EZ Dial™, is remarkably easy to use considering it’s really a sophisticated emergency communications system with two way voice integrations. The commercial-grade speakerphone answers five preset numbers automatically. It has three programmable emergency keys and is fully integrated with all of our EZ Care technology.

Let’s take a look at this common nursing home scenario. Mrs. Miller, an elderly resident, stumbles and falls on route to the washroom. She pushes the help button on her EZ Key™ pendant. A text message goes immediately to her nurse, Sue. Sue calls Mrs. Miller on her room phone, the EZ Dial™, sitting beside the bed. Mrs. Miller can’t get to the phone, but that’s okay.

The speaker phone answers automatically. With a very sensitive microphone, the nurse hears Mrs. Miller crying for help and rushes to the room. If Mrs. Miller is in a different room, that’s no problem. Her location is automatically reported with the distress call. As an added feature, residents can use the phone to check the daily menu or activities list with one button touch.

The best feature of EZ Dial™ is its ability to pay for and fund itself. By directly supplying resident telephone lines, FIRETEC creates a self-sustaining revenue generator for the care facility, with added monthly positive cash flow from long distance and monthly phone line rental.
