Healthcare's Most Accurate Nurse Call System Automation
CenTrak's Clinical-Grade Locating™ nurse call system automation accurately detects staff presence via RTLS badges to automatically cancel calls, log response times, and illuminate dome lights, resulting in up to 40% faster response times, reduced manual documentation, improved clinical workflows, and enhanced patient care environments in healthcare facilities.
CenTrak reliably detects when a staff member, wearing an RTLS-enabled badge, enters the patient’s room or bay and automatically cancels the call, logs the response time, and illuminates the corresponding dome light.
Improve response times and reduce administrative burden on nursing staff with call automation
With CenTrak, some hospitals have seen a 40% increase in response times. Facilities also gain comprehensive intelligence that can help to improve processes and procedures, such as resource allocation. Reliable and unbiased data demonstrates response times and the length of each patient-provider interaction, helping to avoid potential liability and billing issues.
Is manual documentation slowing you down?
Staff often spend time on manual data entry, interacting with various systems, and searching for support staff, which can cause delays in patient care and create bottlenecks in clinical workflow.
Allow your caregivers to focus more immediately on the patient’s needs
When caregivers do not need to stop what they’re doing to input data into the nurse call system, it frees up staff to focus on caring for their patients.
"The system is definitely enhancing our ability to receive alerts and the increase in call bell response times has given the wards a ‘quiet environment' that is commented on widely from patients and visitors alike."
— Suzanne Hawksley, Nursing Director, MPHS Executive

- Ultra-thin and lightweight
- Long battery life with self-test capabilities prior to each shift
- International safety compliance including FCC, IC, CE
The staff badge is also used in:
- Staff Duress
- Workflow Automation
- Contact Tracing
- Hand Hygiene Compliance
Robust integration engine for maximum impact
Nurse Call integrations include Hillrom®, Rauland®, Ascom®, Critical Alert®, West-Com®, Static Systems Group®, and more. CenTrak’s open location platform enables seamless integration with both new and existing applications, such as Computerized Maintenance Management Systems and Electronic Health Record Systems, maximizing the impact of RTLS and your return on investment.
The speed and accuracy you need with clinical-grade locating
Battery-powered room Monitors and Virtual Walls are easily installed in patient care areas to enable room and sub-room/bay-level locating. Using second-generation infrared (Gen2IR), these devices transmit a unique location ID, which is received by any tag in that location. Gen2IR does not pass through walls and does not require line-of-sight for communication. The tag sends the location ID via radio frequency to the Location Server, where it can be accessed in real-time by hospital personnel and integrated with various software solutions and Health IoT platforms.
Optimize your nurse call program - trust a system that works
Battery-powered devices are easy to install and support. Advanced system supervision through Connect Pulse™ ensures optimal performance while power-efficient tags and devices offer enhanced reliability.
