Brief History
of
Nurse Call
The nurse call system as it is known today is vastly different from its origins. In its most simple form, a nurse call system consists of a push button in the patient room, a light above the patient door and a central location (usually a nurses station) where calls can be viewed. With advances in technology, and the ever-changing model of healthcare, the modern nurse call system took several forms over its century-long history.
