3 Telligence, an enterprise communication system for clinical workflow and management, includes a network of staff and patient-room devices that scale and configure to meet each department s specific needs. It offers complete flexibility with programmable touch points and color-coded indicators. Telligence can: Scale from basic nurse call to a sophisticated communication system on a single integrated platform Improve clinical staff efficiency by integrating nurse call with mobile phones and pagers, helping to deliver information to mobile caregivers when and where it is needed 1 Support increased patient satisfaction scores (HCAHPS) with clear communication, automatically routing events, alerts and escalations directly to the appropriate caregivers, thus adding efficiencies to care delivery 2 Have visibility to data on call volumes and response times delivering an invaluable tool in driving patient care protocols and quality metrics

4 Staff Console and Annunciator The Telligence ColorTouch Staff Console is a primary point of contact for staff-to-patient and staff-to-staff communications. Designed for desktop use, the device includes a handset and cradle for privacy or supports hands-free operation. The Annunciator offers all the performance-rich features of the Staff Console in a convenient wall-mounted configuration, ideal for hallways and staff rooms. The device graphically displays incoming calls from stations and connected healthcare equipment to prioritize and respond to events efficiently and effectively. Escalate call priority to help save time and steps in critical situations Ability to place reminder alerts to enhance patient satisfaction Adjustable volume control and noise cancellation to improve and simplify communication between staff and patients

5 VoIP Staff Station The wall-mounted ColorTouch VoIP Staff Station enhances staff-to-staff and staff-to-patient communications. It supports automated workflows within a patient room and aids in requesting services and providing information on room status. Workflow buttons can be customized for each care setting or application. Integrated with wireless devices, the VoIP Staff Station delivers requests and alerts to the right staff at the right time. Independent studies suggest that rounding procedures can produce better outcomes, improve patient satisfaction scores and reduce patient calls. 3 Nurse round timers Staff can select a configurable button to set rounding timers or manually enter a recurring rounding clock time. Timers may include reminders to check skin, bathroom needs, nutrition, blood sugar and fluids Bed management Automate routing of requests to environmental services for housekeeping, or room clean, and various alerts to appropriate staff. Turning rooms more efficiently directly affects revenue and reduces patient waiting at entry points Patient flow Accelerate transport needs and manage discharge, improving capacity management Room status Telligence can provide consistent room/patient updates eliminating the need for notes to be attached to doors Audio communications In-room calls can be placed to the front desk, the pharmacy to check on prescriptions, or to the lab to check on results. Saving caregivers time by not traveling to get the information Room cancel Cancel events in the room without going to the headwall saving valuable time and effort Flexible programming for each care area Flexible options for workflow buttons

6 In-room devices built for the real world Telligence patient room devices are robust and ergonomically designed for use in the challenging clinical environment. With a wide variety of peripherals to meet departmental needs, the room devices offer: Intuitive operation for patient and staff Programmable buttons for flexible labeling and functionality Standardized patient/staff devices for lower maintenance costs Sealed membrane covers for easy cleaning

7 Smart Patient and Staff Duty Stations Smart Patient and Staff Duty Stations provide a primary point of two-way patient-staff communication. With a built-in speaker and microphone, they provide a full-duplex channel of audio communications. The two-way volume control operated from the Staff Console lets users tailor audio to the patient. Easily customized button labels for different functions Audible tones and LEDs that let staff and patients hear and see when a button has been pushed Integrated call cord, pillow speakers, bed and auxiliary equipment connectors: one device with many functions Clean mode to eliminate error calls when cleaning devices NiteLite for easy visibility under low-light conditions Peripheral Stations Push/Pull Stations and Pushbutton Stations come with field-configurable buttons for placing patient calls, requesting staff assistance, indicating staff presence or signaling a code blue situation. Site-configurable buttons Anti-microbial pull cord material (on pull-cord peripheral devices) NiteLite on-board lighting Toggle capability to support more flexible workflow options

8 Pillow speakers and call cords Patients use pillow speakers and call cords to initiate calls from patient stations. Simple pushbutton operation places a call on the system. Air-operated and standard call cords are available in a variety of styles. Modern, comfortable, ergonomic design that fits naturally in the hand with large buttons for ease of use Smooth shape, sealed designs and minimal crevices for easy, comprehensive cleaning and less risk of cross-contamination DuraPin pillow speaker connector for maximum durability Additional system configurations available with auxiliary equipment Dome lights Infinity Series LED dome lights provide bright visual indicators to help speed response time and enhance caregiver communication. They are typically installed in corridors and outside patient rooms to provide visual cues to the origin of a call. Configurable color indication to meet staff needs Designed to fit healthcare decor while effectively displaying in-room events

9 Ease and simplicity for IT and biomedical staff IT and biomedical staff play an increasing role in nurse call systems. Telligence may minimize workload and maintenance costs with a complete and integrated solution on a reduced infrastructure. Disparate systems may no longer be needed, significantly reducing parts inventory. The Telergy interface can turn most hospital workstations into a nurse call reporting center with PC Messaging, PC Assignment and PC Reporting. Using the hospital IT network may help to eliminate redundant infrastructure and dedicated computers. PowerSwitch and gateway The Telligence PowerSwitch is an Ethernet communication interface and power supply for all IP devices residing on the Telligence patient-staff communications network. It interconnects with system components via standard network wiring, cabling and connectors (RJ 45). The Telligence Station Gateway facilitates the use of non-ipaddressable stations on the Telligence IP network by converting analog audio signals into digital audio data, and vice versa. The gateway is the pivot point for dome lights, Smart Patient and Duty Stations, and peripheral devices when a VoIP Staff Station is not present.
