Ascom, the leading global healthcare Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provider, unveiled a new Telligence nurse call application at HiMSS18, where it exhibited and offered demos in booth #4212, March 5-9 in Las Vegas.

Ascom Telligence nurse call, sold and supported globally, is a comprehensive, scalable platform deployed in more than 10,000 facilities, from small regional hospitals to some of the most advanced healthcare systems in the world. The new Telligence application was specifically designed to offer basic messaging, assignment and reporting capabilities to smaller hospitals at an affordable price. For facilities with limited IT resources, the new embedded application enables delivery of alarms and messages to mobile caregivers, a call volume data dashboard and response time metrics without the need for added servers or middleware.

According to research firm SK&A, of the almost 7,000 hospitals in the US, 5,479 have 250 or fewer patient beds.

“Our new Telligence application now integrates robust messaging, assignment and reporting capabilities for smaller facilities that requested basic functionality and easy upkeep,” explains Rob Goldman, President, Ascom North America. “By listening to our market and customers, we developed an embedded application that is simple to set up and maintain so healthcare IT leaders can use their resources to focus on other priorities.”
