Centralised interfaces of the nurse call system

4.3.1 Radio paging system, DECT without speech
Radio paging systems or DECT telephone systems can be connected to the nurse
call system. The protocol is based on ESPA 4.4.4. Pending call messages from the
nurse call system can be forwarded to nursing staff equipped with pagers or DECT
telephones.
The factory settings of the ESPA interface are as follows: 1200 baud, 7 bits, even
parity, 2 stop bits. Format: <event identifier> <space> <ward name> <space>
<room name> <space>.
4.3.2 Telephony
The telephony infrastructure of the hospital can also be used for voice communica-
tion with the nurse call system. The telephone user will not notice the difference in
the speech channel.
Even if an external device does not work because the PBX has failed, the Flamen-
IP
co nurse call system guarantees that an existing call is displayed within the nurse
call system.
4.3.3 Hospital information system
For the support of the nursing staff, patient data can be displayed during call process-
ing – this data is then retrieved from the hospital information system. The data is dis-
played in the PrimusGlobal+ software. The system driver HL7 establishes the
connection between the hospital information system and the PrimusGlobal+ software
family. Defined data fields are retrieved from the HL7 data record and are available
for further display on the ManagementCenter
in close coordination with the customer. The support of various transfer protocols and
transmission methods is possible.
4.3.4 Fire alarm system
Defined information from the fire alarm system can be retrieved by the Flamenco
nurse call system and provided there for further display and processing. The defini-
tion of the desired information and prioritisation is established in close coordination
with the customer.
