You can use the Telligence patient station itself to directly place
nurse calls. Patients use controls on smart pillow speakers, call
cords, or bed side-rails that are connected to the patient station to
place nurse calls. This section covers staff use of the Telligence
patient station, and summarizes how patients place nurse calls. For
more discussion about patient nurse call placement, see later
sections in this chapter.
