According to the present disclosure, devices, systems, and methods for locating, tracking, and conducting communications between care devices and networks of care facilities through local communications hubs.

Discriminating patient care communications system

Technologies for monitoring hand hygiene compliance of a user include a remote analysis server configured to receive an indication from a plurality of hand hygiene devices. The hand hygiene devices include one or more disinfectant hand rub dispensing devices and one or more soap dispensing devices. The remote analysis server is further configured to manage a compliance counter for the user based a number of times disinfectant hand rub dispensing device and compare the compliance counter to a non-compliance threshold of the hand hygiene policy. The remote analysis server is configured to transmit a notification of compliance or non-compliance based on whether the compliance counter is greater than or equal to the non-compliance threshold. A threshold of compliance is customizable based on a room type designation.

Hand hygiene monitoring system with customizable thresholds

Catheter monitor integration with patient support systems, such as patient beds, and with other healthcare communication systems including hand hygiene systems is provided. A patient bed that transmits bed data and catheter monitor data is disclosed. When catheter tubing is connected to a catheter monitor integrated into a patient bed, the bed automatically implements a falls prevention protocol. A countdown timer pertaining to removal of catheter tubing from a patient is displayed on one or more display devices. Monitoring for caregiver handwashing compliance in connection with use of a catheter monitor or a catheter kit is also provided.

Method of patient care device integration with a hospital bed

A system comprises a patient bed having a reader to read wireless signals. In some embodiments a wound dressing has a transmitter that transmits wireless signals to the reader of the patient bed. In other embodiments, a garment has a transmitter that transmits wireless signals to the reader of the patient bed. In still further embodiments, other medical equipment has a transmitter that transmits wireless signals to the reader of the patient bed.

Patient care device integration with a hospital bed

According to the present disclosure, a hygiene compliance system includes a handwash sensor, a badge, an occupant sensor, and a remote computer. The sensors and the badge may communicate with the remote computer to provide information regarding hygiene events. The hygiene compliance system determines whether the hygiene events comply with a hygiene operations scheme.
