Nurse Call & Patient
Management System Design
IP-based nurse call and patient management system design for hospitals, nursing homes and care facilities — audio/video call points, duty stations, RTLS integration and NABH / HTM 08-03 compliant design.
What We Offer
Nurse call systems are life-critical communication infrastructure that enable patients to summon nursing assistance and allow nursing staff to coordinate care across the ward. ASDV Consultant designs professional nurse call and patient management systems for hospitals, nursing homes, care facilities, rehabilitation centres and mental health facilities.
We design modern IP-based nurse call systems with audio and video call points at patient beds, bathrooms and corridors; duty panel displays at nursing stations; mobile alert integration (staff pagers, DECT phones, smartphone apps); priority annunciation and call escalation; and integration with Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) for staff and patient tracking.
Our designs comply with HTM 08-03 (UK NHS standard for nurse call), IEC 60364-7-710 (electrical installations in medical locations) and NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals) standards. We design for all ward types — general wards, ICU, HDU, operating theatres, A&E, psychiatric units and dementia care facilities — each with specific requirement profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
An IP-based nurse call system uses the hospital's IP network infrastructure (rather than dedicated proprietary wiring) to connect call points, duty panels and the central server. This enables easier installation in existing buildings (using existing Cat6 cabling), scalability, integration with smartphone and DECT phone alert systems, real-time data logging and reporting, and future integration with Electronic Patient Records (EPR) and RTLS systems.
A standard nurse call allows a patient to request routine nursing assistance — the call is displayed at the ward duty panel and corridor indicator with a priority level. A code blue (or red) emergency call is triggered by a patient or staff member pressing a dedicated emergency button, which activates a full ward alert — sounding alarms, displaying the room on all duty panels, alerting mobile pagers/DECT phones simultaneously and triggering automatic escalation if not acknowledged within a defined time period.
Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) use staff badge transponders and room-level readers to know the precise location of every nurse and doctor at all times. Integration with nurse call means that when a patient presses their call button, the system automatically notifies the nearest available nurse — displaying the alert on their mobile device — rather than broadcasting to all staff. RTLS also provides response time data (time from call to bedside attendance) for NABH/JCI compliance reporting.
