  • Hospital communication systems designed to provide communication between the staff and patient rooms and/or individual patients via wires. These systems typically consist of a central console with a switching device that allows communication with each patient or patient room, power supplies, call buttons at the patient end, and interconnecting wiring; they frequently include corridor or intermediate station signaling lights. Some systems permit two-way conversation by means of a handset, headset, or speaker/microphone. Nurse call communication systems allow patients and staff to summon nurses with visual and/or audible signals for routine or emergency needs; some systems can also be used to summon emergency resuscitation teams and/or to locate staff on a nursing floor.
