Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital installs nurse call system

The Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital has installed a new nurse call system to help enhance communication and patient care.

The remote panel gives patients three additional buttons to request assistance in addition to the traditional “nurse” button. 

There are now buttons that say “water,” “pain” and “toilet” so the patient can specify their request.

These buttons are programmable to correspond with the appropriate caregiver. 

For example, if a patient pressed “pain,” a nurse would be called, or if a patient pressed “toilet,” then a technician would respond. 

“This technology enables patients to communicate their needs to the appropriate person on their care team, which ensures they’re supported throughout their recovery in our hospital,” Judy Colorado, chief nursing officer at the hospital, said. “It also helps our nurses to efficiently prioritize their duties so every patient’s needs are fulfilled with precision and compassion.”

Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital is an award-winning, full-service medical and surgical center that has served the communities of Southwest Orange County since 1985.

The hospital is located at 9401 Turkey Lake Road, Orlando.
