TWO Hospital Call Buttons.



TWO Hospital Call Buttons.


WEB-455

Wolf... Wolf... WOOLF!


If you've ever spent time in the hospital, you know about "The Button". The idea is pretty simple. If you need anything, hit the red button and your nurse will come running to see what you need. Right? Not exactly. In reality, it could take quite a while before anyone comes, and that's pretty messed up.

You can't exactly blame the nurses. The problem is the system itself. With a dozen or more rooms to cover, there's a good chance that multiple alarms will go off at the same time, and most of the time it's not an emergency. So whenever an alarm goes off, they have no sense of urgency.

Since there's only one button, a nurse doesn't know if a patient is on the floor gasping for air, or if they simply want another pillow for their feet.


That's why every hospital room should have more than one button. One red one for emergencies, and a second one, for everything else. This lets nurses prioritize their time.

With two different call buttons, whenever a patient uses the "Emergency Button", they'll know it's not just another boy crying "Wolf".
