QUICKER RESPONSE WHEN EVERY SECOND COUNTS

Accept

Reject

We have a car crash - five injured, arriving

approximately 10 minutes

Accept

The trauma coordinator receives information directly from the

ambulance.

Without losing time, the trauma coordinator engages

the Ascom trauma alert system, thereby calling in the

dedicated trauma team.

Within seconds, the alarm

escalates and is sent to the

next in the chain of physicians.

This time, the back-up doctor

“accepts.”

This head physician is

already busy with another

emergency, so he presses

the reject button.

Hospital care team members are

connected via voice and interactive

text messaging for maximum

efficiency.

The instant messaging alerts the dedicated trauma

team of the pending emergency situation.

When the patient arrives, the trauma team is ready to start treatment.

Automatically, the alert is removed from all other handsets.

With Ascom wireless communication,

the trauma team is easily able to

anticipate and care for the incoming

patients.

Minutes, and even seconds, make a difference in an emergency

department. Receiving critical information in time ensures that

trauma ED personnel can properly prepare themselves and coor-

dinate within the team before an emergency arrives.

Stressful situations will always exist in hospitals, especially in

emergency rooms, but with Ascom wireless communications in

place, stress is effectively minimized, while caregiver efficiency

is maximized..
