Mitigating Risk with the Advent of Wireless Nurse Call Systems

As hospitals consider replacing wired nurse call systems with wireless technology, understanding the associated risks becomes critical. This webinar equips Health Care Risk Professionals with the knowledge to navigate regulatory changes, evaluate deployment options, and implement best practices for safety and efficiency.

Learning Objectives:

1. Evaluate deployment options for wireless nurse call systems in hospitals and assess the risks associated with each option
2. Identify best practices for mitigating risk in wireless communication systems
3. Describe steps to improve the cost-effectiveness and manageability of wireless links
