Upgrades in Existing Nurse Call Systems Bolster Middle East & Africa Emergency Call Systems Market
Technological advancements have led to upgrades in basic nurse call models that are used to notify an emergency with red light alerts and a few coded buttons and bells. Mobile and real-time call systems help eliminate communication gaps, allowing efficient patient tracking. Advanced features also facilitate the streamlining and customization of communication among the patients, nursing staff, and caregivers to enhance patient satisfaction and improve the quality of care. State-of-the-art emergency call systems are integrated with facilities such as remote patient monitoring, electronic health records (EHR), and other clinical decision-making services. For instance, Cary N.C, a division of Hill-Rom, introduced Care Sign which features a digital touchscreen that needs to be assembled outside the patient room. It displays real-time information about patient risks, allergies, and safety measures to help improve patient care and communication. In addition, advantages such as personal touch, wireless communication, wander tracking, direct connection, and specified alerts are leading to the rising demand for emergency call systems in hospitals, clinics, assisted living centers, and other care facilities.
Nursing trends have evolved due to shifts in public health, technology, demography, and social perceptions. However, the COVID-19 pandemic brought up several issues that significantly altered nursing practice and trends. Furthermore, the necessity for virtual health care increased amid this health crisis. According to analysis, the use of telehealth has increased 38 times since the pandemic, compared to the pre-COVID-19 baseline. Thus, the use of telehealth is expected to persist as a significant trend in the nursing discipline, as it facilitates long-distance patient and doctor interaction, care, guidance, reminders, education, monitoring, and intervention. Moreover, it automates certain portions of a nurse's duties. Thus, the emergency call systems market is likely to grow with upgrades in the existing nursing call systems.
