With our Safe Place Infant Abduction System we protect our youngest patients more effectively, monitoring infant and pediatric patients assigned to the Women and Children Center. Kids will be kids, and the system is designed to alert the staff when our curious and energetic pediatric patients get to close to an exit, when new parents wander too close to exit doors, or if security bands are tampered with or removed without authorization. These actions trigger a complete lock down of the unit to include the elevators.

The nurse-call hand-held device has message options. The patient can press either a general request button or need-specific button for pain medication, water or toileting requirements. The call system has specific tones to alert the staff. Long gone are the days of the “call bell.” When life-threatening emergencies occur, nurses have only to press a nearby button to activate the hospital’s emergency response team.

Although the types of areas to be cleaned vary widely, the goal remains the same, to provide a clean environment that is safe from an infection-control perspective and one that is aesthetically appealing.
