Call types and categories
We differentiate various call types. It is important that you know these types
of calls as they will give you a hint towards the kind of assistance the patient
requires. The call types are divided into three categories: Calls, emergency
calls and alarms. The call categories are distinguished by their level of urgen-
cy.
