Securing Safety
Medical staff is too often subject to attacks, both by unhappy patients and by stressed relatives. This calls for an Advanced Security Building Intercom System (ASBIS), exactly tailored to the needs of the medical facility. Silent Alarms will not be noticed by the assaultant to prevent further escalation. At the same time, access to secure zones can be granted locally from the nurses' stations to assure smooth and quick operation.
One system for communication and Public Address
Unified Communication at its best: Urgent calls from a surgical theatre to the emergency room, announcements in the corridors and waiting lounges, or nurses needing to listen into a patient room: All communication takes place via one single platform. This limits costs while giving the most flexibility. The SOC / Control room of all security operation will be the central hub, which is always prepared to take additional measures in case of an incident.
Acoustic Patient Monitoring
Even if they would like to do it, nurses cannot always stay in the room with a patient in more or less critical condition. So acousting surveillance of a rooms, paired with the long-lasting experience of a nurse, will provide service excellence while assuring flexibility and cost control.
Keeping the Global Overview
Integration is the key to a perfect overview form the SOC / Control Room. This is the hub for all security services, as well as for others. It receives calls from Info Points all over the medical campus, takes the calls from the various visitor and staff car parks, as well as from all access points. In case of an incident, the SOC / Control Room starts the Emergency Operation Plan (EOP), perfectly supported by the Commend Intercom Solution deployed.

Monitoring
Virtual Care
Schneider Intercom continues to be at the forefront of addressing staffing shortages in healthcare through its innovative virtual care solutions. Our comprehensive suite of services includes video tele-sitting, behavioral health observation, tele-rounding, tele-health, EICU observation, and staff safety monitoring. By leveraging these cutting-edge technologies, healthcare providers can overcome staffing challenges while ensuring high-quality patient care.
Monitoring
Acoustic Surveillance
Reliable and easy acoustic observation of patient rooms, either by acoustic room monitoring, proactive listening or cyclic audio scanning, it allows staff to monitor several rooms. The rooms to be monitored can be selected conveniently on the Control Desk terminal. If staff are present in monitored rooms, this is indicated at the Control Desk terminal. Monitoring can easily be deactivated temporarily by entering a code at the room's terminal (e. g., while doctors or relatives are in the room).
Communicating
Counter Intercom
Barriers such as plexiglass reception windows etc. must enable clear communication and full speech intelligibility. This is where Schneider Intercom’s pragmatic, cost-efficient solutions come into their own. With carefully selected components and proven leading technology they offer the necessary level of safety to stay in contact where physical contact must be avoided.
Communicating
Direct Communication with Emergency Services
Efficient emergency preparedness by integration of mobile radio (Tetra / Analog) for direct communication with emergency services. Simultaneous scanning of up to 8 channels (channel mixing), allowing operators to follow conversations on several channels simultaneously. One or more radio channels selectable at the simple touch of a button. Display of caller identity (ISSI) and Status message transfer (SDS).
Ensuring
Easy Control Desk Management
Reliable communication connections between nurses’ stations, wards and central Control Desks. A central workstation provides a full system overview for receptionists and nursing staff so they can respond instantly in an emergency. Receiving Emergency- and Infocalls, announcements and alerting, reporting, scheduling, call Statistics and voice recording. Connects with building management systems.
