Rauland-Borg Corp., a provider of nurse call communications, has announced that its Responder 5 Nurse Call system can now work with a variety of RTLS.

The integration will enable Responder 5 to leverage data culled from an RTLS. For example, when a nurse wearing an RFID tag walks into a room to which she or he has been called by a patient, the RTLS can communicate that information to the Responder 5 Nurse Call system, which can then automatically cancel the patient call by lighting the nurse call corridor light above the door. 

The Responder 5 Nurse Call system and an RTLS can work simultaneously to update location information, eliminate redundancy, and provide productivity and response reports for the hospital's records, Rauland-Borg reports, thereby making it feasible for hospitals to track and record staff duties throughout their facility. The integration, for example, can help hospitals locate and call the caregiver closest to a patient in need. Rauland-Borg worked with several RTLS providers, including AeroScout, Centrak, Versus Technology and Visonic Technologies, to develop an open application programming interface (API) that allows for integration between the Responder 5 Nurse Call system and those companies' RTLS products.
