Onsite Paging Saves Lives in Hospitals, PageRouter

Faster, better and more reliable healthcare
MARKHAM, Ontario--(Business Wire)--
To continue to deliver quality healthcare, St. Clair Hospital in
Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania, sought to streamline its onsite-offsite
paging integration.

"Whether for medical emergencies or routine care, responding with
the right treatment at the right time can save and sustain lives,"
says Gary Steiner, St. Clair Hospital's Telcom Administrator. "We
wanted to minimize the time patients or staff spent waiting for help
or input from others."

St. Clair Hospital turned to the PageRouter Text Messaging
Management System, by Canamex Communications, a leading manufacturer
of healthcare messaging solutions. Steiner appreciates the way their
advanced messaging management technology is able to integrate
communication among a full-range of sources and destinations from
nurse call stations and patient monitoring equipment, to local onsite
pagers, commercial pagers, PDAs, wireless phones, cell phones, email
addresses, and two-way radios.

"With the PageRouter system it just takes two seconds from the
time the patient pulls the nurse call until the attending nurse's
pager is ringing and explanatory text is supplied," says Steiner. "The
nurse knows not only which patient pulled the cord, but also in which
area of the patient's room it was pulled whether lavatory, bedside, or
emergency call."

According to Steiner, the system supplies a patient response
safety net, which has freed up departmental secretaries to do their
work and allowed nurses to respond much faster to patients' needs.

It is in emergency situations, however, that Steiner feels the
advanced PageRouter system may be most useful. "From any phone, staff
can dial a three-digit pager number, a callback number, and select a
prepared message to send individuals or an emergency response team,"
says Steiner. "The right individuals or teams are automatically paged
in seconds whether they're onsite or offsite."

"By getting both critical and routine information to the right
people as soon as it's available, the paging management system allows
us to focus on effective patient care," says Steiner. "It's a simple,
cost-effective way to help medical professionals take care of patients
better and faster by removing communicative and administrative
bottlenecks."
