Voice-Enabled Hospital Communication System
Enhancing hospital communication with voice-enabled technology
Introduction
Modernizing Healthcare Communication for Efficiency
In healthcare, effective communication between patients and care teams is critical in healthcare to ensure timely care while avoiding overburdening hospital staff. The hospital's existing help request system was inefficient, resulting in undifferentiated requests for assistance and delays in patient care responses.

CHALLENGE
Overburdened Nursing Stations and Lack of Request Prioritization
Patients' traditional push-button mechanisms failed to distinguish between routine and urgent requests, resulting in overburdened nurse stations and delayed response times. The hospital required a solution that could intelligently route requests based on their urgency, ensuring that the appropriate care team members were promptly notified.
SOLUTION
Voice-Enabled Patient Communication System
We created a voice-enabled system that integrates with the hospital's existing infrastructure, allowing patients to make specific help requests. The system used a business rules engine to intelligently prioritise and route requests, ensuring that urgent calls were directed to the appropriate care team members. This reduced the workload on nursing staff while improving response times.
OUTCOME
Faster Response Times and Improved Patient Satisfaction
The hospital experienced a 30% reduction in response times for urgent requests, which improved both patient outcomes and staff efficiency. The system enabled nurses to focus on urgent needs without being overwhelmed by non-critical requests, resulting in a significant improvement in patient satisfaction and overall hospital workflow.
