CRITICAL ALERT EXTENDS ITS CANOPY SOFTWARE TO ASSIST IN PREVENTING MASS OUTBREAKS OF COVID-19 WITHIN HOSPITALS

Modern nurse call systems provide the means of capturing and reporting this data. Very specifically if your facility uses staff locating (RTLS). More generally without staff locating by capturing the identity of the respondent to a nurse call event.

Critical Alert

Critical Alert was formed in 1983 as WESCOM, a nurse call hardware & software solution for acute and long-term care organizations. Throughout the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s, WESCOM pioneered software-based nurse call and was the first nurse call company to integrate RTLS staff presence into the clinical workflow.

WESCOM was rebranded in 2007 as Intego Systems, with a honed focus on the acute care sector. In 2012, the company was rebranded as Critical Alert.

Today, Critical Alert has reinvented itself from a pure-play nurse call vendor to a producer of a comprehensive clinical communication platform that converges nurse call, alarm management, medical device integration, and rules-based notification.
