Staff and ambulance tracking, nurse-call, alarms and security
Hospitals and nursing homes use two-way radios to improve communication between their teams.
TABLETmedia’s solutions increase the effectiveness of those devices while improving employee accountability and safety.
With TRBOaware, nurses and ER staff carry wearable duress pendants and fixed panic buttons that summon help instantly — with the caller’s exact location, helping hospitals address Joint Commission workplace-violence-prevention requirements for staff safety.
And because everything runs on-premise on the hospital’s own network, patient and location data stays inside your walls — an easy fit with HIPAA and your security policies.
In a hospital where a duress or nurse call has to get through instantly, radio downtime isn’t an option. TRBOmonitor keeps the network healthy with 24/7 diagnostics that surface issues before they affect a call — because a radio network is only truly operations-critical when you can count on it, every time.
Capabilities deployed in the field
A sample of what health care customers have put to work with TABLETmedia:
Our server ties into nurse call and building management software, fire panels, HVAC, video management (VMS), access control, weather channels, and other sources. Notifications are then sent to:
- Digital radios as text messages
- Analog and digital radios as voice announcements
- Emails and SMS
- Telephones using text-to-speech
- Open gates, activate sirens, or turn on pumps and other equipment
Outdoors, GPS tracking follows ambulances, maintenance personnel, and security staff across town or campus. Multiple users can access maps and reports from any desktop or mobile browser. Save on cellular data plans by sending GPS location to your existing CAD or ambulance-tracking system.
Indoors, TRBOaware pinpoints location using wireless beacons — useful for tracking staff and security as they move through the building and, in an emergency, sending a notification with the person’s last known location.
TABLETmedia’s console and thin clients allow traditional PTT-based dispatching to reach groups or individual radios from desktops or notebooks.
Additional features include tracking radios via GPS, activating and monitoring equipment via telemetry, handling telephone calls, and recording PTT calls with TRBOrecorder.
Through our telephone interconnect, we connect to the property’s VoIP telephone system to:
- Make calls to groups and individual radios
- Dial internal or external telephones from the radios
- Automatically dial security or 911 in case of an emergency
The quality of telephone calls is clear and responsive, and typically telephone callers are not even aware that they are talking to someone on a PTT device.
