Overview
A major public hospital in Slovenia, with over 600 patient rooms and 50 nurse stations. The old nurse call system used analog devices with poor sound quality and limited functions.
Challenge
The hospital needed to upgrade its outdated analog nurse call system to improve voice and video communication quality. However, several challenges arose during planning:
● Time Limitation: To minimize the impact on hospital operations and patient care, the project needs to be finished as soon as possible.
● User Friendly: A complex system can make it difficult for the hospital to adapt and use.
● Reliability: Patients need to contact with their nurses timely and malfunctions are hardly acceptable.
Solution
After testing by the contract company and hospital, it was ultimately decided to adopt this Ourten Ethernet Extender solution due to the following advantages:
● Reuse Old Cables: Avoid the time-consuming and high cost rewiring.
● Point to Multi-points Connection: Simplify the total system infrastructure.
● Stable Transmission Quality: Very low latency makes the system more reliable.
Result
Using Ourten Ethernet Extenders reduced project completion time by 35%. The upgraded system was more reliable, cutting failure rates by 20% and easing maintenance.
