YOU’LL ACHIEVE UNPARALLELED
PATIENT COVERAGE
AND STAFF EFFICIENCY
View your entire unit at a glance
Our unique GeoGraphical Display features an immediately recognizable color floor plan of the
nursing unit. This real-time display reveals staff locations and highlights incoming calls and staff
service assignments. As an option, it can also pinpoint current staff locations and names. At a
glance, your entire unit is visible from any angle and under any light conditions.
Unparalleled flexibility
Sentinel Touch Nurse Call can operate on a single unit, or in a virtually unlimited network configuration.
It easily integrates with your hospital’s primary management information systems, including
Admittance/Discharge/Transfer (ADT), providing more precise information to care providers.
Sentinel Touch Patient Stations can also be integrated with other
systems – bed exit, IV Pumps, patient monitoring,
wandering patient and infant security.
Its open-architecture interface makes
Sentinel Touch the comprehensive
solution that eliminates duplicate
effort and hardware.
With all of these features,
a single nurse attendant
can manage many
patients’ needs and deploy
staff by simply activating
buttons on the master
station touch screen. This
works for a nursing unit,
an entire floor, or centrally,
for the entire facility.

Fast touch-screen access for all nurse call functions
Your nurse station attendants will appreciate the ease of using the Sentinel Touch Master
Station. It combines a powerful PC with a space-saving, flat LCD color touch-screen monitor.
Exclusive Sentinel Touch graphical master stations allow
all functions to be accessed at the intuitive, simple-tooperate
touch screen.
Perform shift changes easier
Sentinel Touch works for you. Touch-screen simplicity
allows you to assign pagers and phones to caregivers,
and caregivers to patients effortlessly. Shift changes
can often be accomplished in less than a minute.
Quick connections with the best
sound quality available
Superb voice quality eliminates guesswork while whispersensitive
audio pickup lets your staff hear clearly even when
patients speak very softly. The full-duplex, two-way voice
transmission permits uninterrupted nurse-patient interaction.
Automatic call prioritization
Convenient menus let the attendant choose one of up to 190 user-defined service priority levels
and assign the appropriate caregiver. Simply touching a “button” on the screen automatically
sends the service request to the correct staff pager or phone.
To ensure timely response to service requests, pagers can be programmed to cascade to two
back-up staff members should a caregiver be unable to respond within the interval you’ve
defined for each level of service priority.
The power of “Centralized Attendant”
Sentinel Touch Nurse Call offers Centralized Attendant Mode. It allows you to divert patient
calls from any number of units to one or more dedicated master station(s) or a call center.
One person or a small group can screen and manage all nurse call traffic efficiently and
effectively. Whether you choose to activate Centralized Attendant during peak, normal or
slow service periods, this exclusive capability offers compelling benefits:
• Better resource utilization – care
providers and unit secretaries don’t
have to handle routine patient queries
• Enhanced courtesy – the Centralized
Attendant(s) can focus on the patient
with increased courtesy leading to
improved patient satisfaction
• Fast response – patient calls are
answered immediately, rather than
ringing repeatedly at busy nurse stations
• Patient satisfaction – non-critical
questions and needs receive on-thespot
response

FLEXIBLE OPTIONS
REDUCE EFFORT,
IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
EXPAND MOBILITY
Wireless Phone Interface
Today’s wireless phone technology is revolutionizing
nurse call. Sentinel Touch can
be equipped with a wireless interface that
forwards calls and data to telephones,
pagers, scrolling displays, PDAs and email.
SAVE TIME
Infrared Passive Registration
Our passive registration technology senses
the presence of not only personnel, but
also tagged equipment – wheelchairs, IV
pumps, monitors, EKG etc. – and displays
their location on a floor-plan screen at
Sentinel Touch Master Stations and PCs
throughout the facility. Caregivers no
longer waste valuable time and energy
searching for other staff members
or equipment.
DOCUMENT ACTIVITY
Sentinel Touch Management Reports
It’s been said that you can only manage
what can be measured. With the ability
to control information from the convenience
of your hospital network computer,
Sentinel Touch reporting allows you to
generate a variety of summary and detail
reports that can assist with staffing and
risk management.
