Acute Care

Hospitals, Surgical Centers, Physicians Offices, Pharmacies, Laboratories

SARA is designed to meet the complex requirements found in a hospital or acute care environment. SARA has the ability to integrate to multiple systems including nurse call, security, and fire panels.  SARA can serve as the eyes and ears of the entire hospital and give every system and person including patients, a voice.  Alert messages can be delivered anywhere, anytime, and in any order or method. With wireless capabilities, pull cords, fixed panic buttons and mobile panic buttons can be utilized or provided that push the alert to the appropriate caregiver.

Leveraging Current Infrastructure

Status Solutions has the expertise to build upon your current systems. This can include hard wired nurse call systems, fire panels, and other systems. SARA also leverages your network investment. SARA is a web-based system that is accessible from anywhere you can access your network.

Unlike other providers, Status Solutions subscribes to an open systems or non-proprietary philosophy, allowing best-of-breed hardware platforms to be leveraged in order to build powerful solutions that meet customers’ unique requirements.

Broadcasting Emergency Codes

Emergency codes are used to convey essential information quickly and clearly to the staff to take the necessary action. Typically these code alerts are communicated to a group of people over a PA or radio network through the PBX switch board operator. This introduces unwanted delay in the notification process and can be avoided if the respective code alerts are directly communicated to the staff members on their mobile devices.

Broadcasting emergency codes can be easily and more effectively accomplished by SARA. Within SARA, each of the monitored devices (pull cords, wall buttons etc.) that generates code alerts can be tagged. Then the corresponding alert devices that need to receive the code alerts can be assigned to an alert group. When a monitored device is activated, SARA understands the corresponding code information that needs to be transmitted to the respective alert group on the corresponding alert devices (cell phones, wireless handsets, pagers etc.). This method ensures the accurate delivery of information to the staff for better communication and quicker response times.
