Background/Justification/ The White River Junction VA Medical Center intends to install the Jeron system in our newly renovated Ground West (swing space) White River Junction VA Medical Center currently has Jeron installed on 95% of the units of the hospital leaving only a few spaces not covered by the new system. Without nurse call, staff would not have the ability to place a Code Blue Call or for Veterans to initiate calls for help adding additional strain on care teams and support teams. The goal is to quickly and safety install our nurse call standard in the newly renovated space to bring functionality for our patients and front-line staff. The facility s primary goals are to maintain high quality care, standardize and improve safety, more effective and efficient use of staff and overall improvement in patient care. By procuring the standardized equipment, clinical care can be safer and more efficient patient care with increased functionality and clinical system integrations. To accomplish this, the proposed solution involves procuring the same Jeron system in the newly renovated space as the existing system in the rest of the facility, Jeron from SCI. The system includes integrating it with Vocera, Beds, Medical Devices, and Overhead Paging. This standardized implementation aims to streamline workflows, increase clinical response times, reduce time spent supporting the system, provide updated technology, streamline code blue notifications, and increase overall patient experience. Jeron has the ability to plug-and-play devices which will drastically reduce service calls and downtime of the nurse call system.
