Effectively Communicate For Better Patient Care
Given the amount of technology in a hospital, it is ironic that the pencil and paper are still the primary way that many staff members record information and communicate.
The Smart Hospital Healthcare organizations are beginning to realize that there are nearly endless possibilities when everything is connected; when people, processes and systems all work together seamlessly.
That’s the vision of the STL Communications smart hospital. By using communications technologies to make the right connections, hospitals and healthcare organizations can improve: Quality of patient care, cost of services, staffing shortages, facility capacity constraints, security and privacy.
Our patient-centric Nursecall systems offer many benefits to large and small hospitals, such as:
- Increasing patient satisfaction
- Increasing staff productivity

- Improving patients’ request response time by staff members
- Improving communication between staff members and doctors

Virtual Care
Providing timely access to quality care and keeping patients and family members informed about their care plan are common goals for most healthcare facilities. Unfortunately, timely access to quality care could be prevented or delayed due to geographical restrictions, safety concerns, and inadequate communication workflow. Nurses are asked to convey important clinical care plan information about patients on handwritten grease boards which are hard to read and difficult to keep current. Providers are often overscheduled, causing care delivery and patient discharge delays. STL Communications and West-Com has the solution, the Patient CareBoard™†. The Patient CareBoard delivers digital care plans and telehealth services inside every patient room to provide ubiquitous, safe and effective communication, optimize care delivery, and display clear and accurate patient care plans.
Vitalchat™ Telehealth
West-Com’s Patient CareBoard™ seamlessly integrates Vitalchat™ Telehealth services to enhance and complement your existing patient care workflow. These virtual telehealth resources will increase patient and caregiver safety, improve clinical collaboration, enable specialty care access, and allow offsite family connection and engagement.
