It is also possible to manually activate the privacy function, although staff are
logged as present in the room.
Exception for children's rooms: In the Flamenco nurse call system it is possi-
ble that rooms are set as children's rooms. In these rooms, the privacy func-
tion is always OFF. For optimum care of the patients in these rooms, you can
listen in to these rooms if needed, even if there is no call and no staff is pres-
ent in the room. Your system administrator will tell you which rooms are set
up as children's rooms.
Call forwarding
As a rule, calls are displayed and answered by the ComStation
BUS-C
at the
nurse station. If the ComStation
BUS-C
is unoccupied, the calls are automati-
cally forwarded to the rooms where medical staff are logged as present. The
calls can then be answered by the medical staff in the room via the commu-
nication terminal (ComTerminal).
Ward coupling
During periods of low activity, two or more wards can be organisationally cou-
pled. This means that in the coupled wards, all calls from the coupled wards
will be displayed and answered.
Zones and shifts (zone nursing)
Wards can be organisationally divided into smaller entities (zones). Then the
calls within one zone are only forwarded within that zone. The division into
zones can be changed during the course of the day (shift operation).
