WANDERING RESIDENT ID BRACELETS

Wandering patients and patient elopement are two areas where long term care communities can differentiate themselves in their care and wanderservice to their residents. TotalConnect utilizes Systemstechnologies next generation of resident protection technology. In its simplest form each door is protected by a controller. If a resident wearing a small, lightweight wrist tag approaches the door and the door opens, an alarm is generated and displayed on the console and appropriate staff pocket pagers or other alerting devices so the resident can be intercepted. Or if preferred, the door will lock to prevent the resident from leaving.

Because of its unique technology, our system is not prone to the false alarms that competitor systems experience and our resident wrist tag is the smallest and lightest in the industry. Better yet, our system can be upgraded to provide asset tracking, staff tracking and patient location on a facility map including name and picture. For bypassing doors, staff members simply need to wear their staff pendant tags: doors will unlock automatically and the system will record the identity of the staff member and the resident he/she is escorting. Administrators will appreciate the detailed information logs. Such information is invaluable in documenting a wander incident and can help family members understand when their loved one’s condition has changed, requiring a change in the level of care.
