Children's Hospital & Medical Center of Omaha gives visiting families peace of mind, thanks to SmartCall hospital paging from HME Wireless
Jennifer Sell of Children's Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska, says that the team there is on a mission... "to make miracles happen every day... so that all children have a better chance to live." With that goal in mind, the team took another step recently to improve on its already high level of care – by installing a hospital paging system from HME Wireless, for use in its renowned Children's Specialty Pediatrics Center.
Children's wanted a more personal and friendly way to communicate with families than with a traditional overhead hospital staff paging system. Now families receive a hospital pager as soon as they enter the facility for their child's treatment. Staff can apprise them of their loved one's status in real time, by text, and keep the lines of communication open. As a result, families are free to roam and relax, knowing they will be notified instantly of a loved one's status.
"These hospital pagers have been a huge help," noted Jennifer Sell, Manager for Patient Access and Admitting at Children's. "It's made the experience much easier and much more personal... for our patients, their families, and for our staff."
Children's Hospital & Medical Center of Omaha provides specialized care to children with complex diseases. Each year families from the surrounding region, the United States, and around the world visit for specific tests, surgeries and services. To keep things running smoothly, and to ensure the best possible care, Children's is also using staff pagers from HME Wireless. "We are so proud that a world class organization like Children's Omaha chose our on-site paging systems to improve the level of service they provide," said Russ Ford, Vice President HME Wireless. "When a facility like Children's selects HME it validates the fact that we are delivering great solutions."
Compact nurse pagers and doctor pagers allow staff to contact one another quickly and discreetly, without the distracting nuisance of loud overhead announcements. Thanks to improved communication, the staff can "operate" more efficiently, and deliver the highest quality care to patients.
Children's Hospital & Medical Center of Omaha prides itself in being forward-thinking with technology, and has been listed as one of health care's "Most Wired" by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine. Sell notes that she would definitely recommend the easy to use system to other hospitals and medical centers like hers."Technology makes things easier," said Sell, "But the ultimate reward is knowing that it helps us deliver better care to children and their families. That's what we're here for."
