Global Nurse Call Systems Market Definition

A nurse call button is a button or cord found in hospitals and nursing homes, at places where patients are at their most vulnerable, such as beside their bed and in the bathroom. It allows patients in health care settings to alert a nurse or other health care staff member remotely of their need for help.

An advanced nurse call system improves communication and workflow across many teams within an organization. The type of nurse call system and key capabilities that work best for an organization can be influenced by a multitude of factors, including facility size, location, patient demographics, and departmental needs.

Global Nurse Call Systems Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:    

Drivers

• INCREASE IN INPATIENT NUMBERS IN HOSPITALS DUE TO THE HIGH  PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC DISEASES

With the rising economic growth, people are more interested in long-term health and wellness. Geriatric patients need devices and personal nursing facilities to monitor and check their routine checkups (sugar levels, monitor blood pressure levels). Along with this, there is a rising number of inpatient hospitalizations due to the geriatric population's chronic disease and growing demand for advanced devices and medical services, such as an advanced nurse call system that helps manage patient services.

Due to the sedentary lifestyle of people, the prevalence of lifestyle-associated disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, and cancer shows the rise nowadays. Nurse call systems enable reliable and flexible communication between the patient and the caregiver. Increasing patient numbers in healthcare facilities and the introduction of advanced ways to expand communication, workflow, and management to provide quality patient care are fueling the market growth. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases with the growing integration of healthcare data with portable devices is expected to demand proper health management, leading to the anticipated increasing demand for nurse call systems services in the global nurse call systems market in the forecast period.

• RISE IN NEED FOR EFFICIENT AND RESPONSIVE HEALTHCARE COMMUNICATION

Nursing staff should be alert and available near the patients to provide high-quality healthcare services and ensure the safety of the patients. Healthcare organizations can achieve seamless communication and provide streamlined nursing activities with the help of nurse call systems.

Furthermore, nurse call systems demand in large and smart hospitals are extensively rising as nurse call system allows healthcare institutions to prioritize nursing calls based on the severity of the emergency and the type of demand or request by patients.

The use of nurse call systems in assisted living centers and skilled nursing facilities is becoming more and more crucial for the nursing staff's effective performance of their tasks. These solutions offer increased productivity and higher-quality nursing services in institutions with relatively fresh and inexperienced nurses. Ease of communication and diverse applications increases the growth of the global nurse call systems market.

Restraint

• STRICT REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Nurse call systems are implemented in hospitals, nursing homes, psychiatric facilities, and other locations. They provide a means for patients to contact nursing staff. The protection of human life and the maintenance of system integrity are the main goals of the systems. Nurse call systems are required by the joint commission and various standards for establishments seeking accreditation. Hospitals must implement these systems to comply with local, state, and federal regulations. However, today, the planning, design, and implementation of nurse call systems demand greater attention to detail.

People may be put at risk if calls are not indicated as a result of a fault (or even if faults are not recognized in time, for example). Patients' lives could also be on the line because of the environments in which these systems are frequently implemented. A contemporary nurse call system that complies with these codes of practice and standards, like VDE 0834, has a high standard of safety and is built from many organizational segments, similar to other security-based systems.

Opportunity

• INCREASE IN NEED FOR DIGITAL HEALTHCARE

The healthcare industry has altered significantly as a result of the widespread adoption of telehealth and other digital medical advancements. Efforts to increase health equity have the potential to benefit from the use of digital technologies greatly. By expanding access to healthcare, addressing unmet needs, personalizing care for patients, and taking into account the historical context of the communities they serve, digital tools can increase equity.

Digital health applications can be utilized to help patients improve their self-management and dispel their doubts, empowering them and making healthcare providers better allies in shared decision-making. This will help to harness the drive behind this self-guided study. In the best-case scenario, digitalization can aid in a general cultural transition towards collaborative care, making shared decision-making the new norm from conventional to traditional care. The best example of this collaborative care is a wireless nurse call system, a new advancement technology with the latest cutting-edge wireless methods at its core. This enables patients to use them easily and comfortably, receiving medical assistance quickly.

Thus, the increasing need for digital healthcare is expected to act as an opportunity for market growth.

Challenge

• LACK OF AWARENESS AMONG STAFF FOR PROPER MANAGEMENT AND INSTALLATION OF NURSE CALL SYSTEMS

One of the most rapidly developing fields in eHealth technology involves developing and using a nurse calling system. The advancement of technology has made it possible to reach the level of healthcare-providing facilities from conventional healthcare methods. The advancement of healthcare technology requires awareness and attention. Lack of management and awareness may put the patient's life at risk. Thereby it will proportionally hampering the innovative method. The lack of awareness of this hampers the market's growth.

Thus, the lack of awareness among staff for proper management and installation of nurse call systems is a challenge to the market's growth.

Recent Developments
