The emergency department can be a dangerous place. News stories, official reports and anecdotes from patients all highlight the problems encountered by emergency patients – fewer stories focus on the problems experienced by the people working there. Connexall, in combination with Spectralink Corporation, have taken a giant step forward to keep ED staff safe. The Spectralink 8441 and 8453 wireless telephones alert security and staff of a problem based on a range of highly configurable, pre-defined triggers. These triggers can range from a user-initiated call for help to automatic alarms that detect when an employee has fallen, is no longer moving, or is running. This flexibility helps to ensure the most rapid and appropriate response to emergency situations. The new Spectralink SAFE solution in combination with Connexall’s workflow engine conveniently integrates into an organization’s existing mobile communications infrastructure and allows customers to immediately provide safer environments for their workers.
“We are pleased to work with Spectralink to bring the Spectralink SAFE solution to market,” commented Mary Baum, Chief Healthcare Officer at Connexall.“ED staff safety is a critical issue to all of our hospital customers. It gives mobile staff the security they need, allowing them to focus on their clinical responsibilities rather than worry about their personal safety.”
“We are happy to introduce this solution with our valued partner, Connexall. We know how dangerous certain work environments can be, particularly in healthcare,” commented Mike Lanciloti, Spectralink Vice President of Marketing and Product Management. “Spectralink SAFE is an end-to-end solution that starts with a dependable, high quality communications tool in the hands of mobile workers. Through our partnership with Connexall, it extends well into our customers’ emergency reporting and alarming systems to help keep your mobile workers safe.”
