Improving Resident Safety with Two Innovative Canadian-Made Nurse Call Bell Systems
Nurse call bell systems are critical to ensuring resident safety in long-term care (LTC) settings—facilitating communication between residents and staff and alerting caregivers to urgent events such as falls or elopement. However, traditional systems can be costly to install and maintain, often requiring significant infrastructure upgrades. To address this challenge, the CAN Health Long-Term Care Scaling & Innovation Network partnered with Shannex (New Brunswick and Ontario), Bruyère Health (Ontario), and Covenant Care (Alberta) to explore two Canadian-made solutions tailored for the realities of long-term care.
