Dalcon Alert! brings hospitals Remote Patient Monitoring and Alert Management by integrating with existing patient monitoring devices. The solution sends device alert messages to wireless phones, or pagers, carried by the nursing staff. Alerts are also sent to a central server so they can be actively managed by staff on a PC display at the nursing station. A reporting system is also built into the system on the server side.
“Dalcon has found from past experience that the HMS exposition is a great way to connect with healthcare industry leaders that are relevant to us,” David Condra, Dalcon CEO, said.
The HMS meeting and expo is held annually by Healthcare Management Systems, Inc. Representatives from the roughly 600 hospitals who use HMS’s solutions attend the event each year.
