Healthcare facilities face many challenges, with complex demands on infrastructure, systems and staff. At the heart of addressing these challenges is the need to simplify and unify multiple operating systems. CareCall EDGE revolutionizes healthcare facility management by integrating multiple platforms — Nurse Call, Security, and Building Management Systems (BMS) — into a single, cohesive ecosystem. This integration not only saves time but also ensures that critical information is always at your fingertips, enhancing both operations and patient care.
“Security integration is essential, not just for operational efficiency but for ensuring that patient care is never compromised,” explains Isaac Murray, Australian Channel Manager at Miracle Electronics. “Our systems are designed to interface seamlessly with leading security platforms like Gallagher and Integriti. This integration offers a layer of reliability and responsiveness that is critical in healthcare settings, allowing us to strengthen security measures without disrupting existing protocols.”
Andrew Ward, New Zealand Channel Manager at Miracle Electronics, emphasises the systems adaptability, “CareCall EDGE is designed to work with what you already have; it’s not always about ripping everything out and starting again. We can enhance what is already in place to make it more functional and efficient, integrating across multiple systems to maximise operational activity.”
Security systems often operate in closed loops with their own inherent ‘languages’. The beauty of CareCall EDGE is its ability to communicate with these systems in their own language, effectively acting as an interpreter among them. This capability ensures that different technologies can work together harmoniously within healthcare settings, enhancing overall security and operational efficiency.
Steve O’Donnell, Project Manager at Strawberry Sound, describes a recent project that highlights the practical applications of CareCall EDGE. “We recently completed a successful integration project for Health NZ, seamlessly linking the Miracle Nurse Call system with Gallagher Security. This integration allows the Gallagher system to receive real-time alerts whenever a Nurse Call Duress button is activated, ensuring rapid response and enhanced safety for healthcare staff. We are also planning to enhance this system further by integrating in the other direction. Soon, when an emergency door is opened, the Miracle system will be notified, and the event will be displayed on local digital display units, ensuring comprehensive situational awareness for busy staff.”
CareCall EDGE doesn’t just manage alarms; it transforms them into actionable insights. With detailed reporting and analytics tools, the platform allows you to visualise alarms in 3D, assess situations with real-time data, and make informed decisions swiftly and effectively. Additional functionalities include the ability to automate door locks at scheduled times and to direct cameras based on certain triggers. Staff can then concentrate more on patient care rather than manual monitoring.
Isaac highlights the systems versatility, “It’s not uncommon for the number of alarms for one day to reach the hundreds. You can choose how you receive alerts — through LED displays, mobile apps, or email notifications — ensuring critical alerts are communicated effectively across various mediums.” By analysing the alarm data, facilities can identify trends and address recurring issues efficiently. “Data analysis allows staff time to be managed most effectively by providing real-time information,” Andrew adds, pointing out the system’s impact on operational efficiency.
With over 100 integration options and more on the horizon, CareCall EDGE is designed to be the best in market. “Our approach to digital integration is what sets us apart,” states Andrew. “Our software communicates effectively with a variety of digital systems used in modern healthcare facilities.” This compatibility is essential for creating a unified healthcare environment where technology enhances the care provided.
As Miracle Electronics continues to innovate in healthcare technology, we remain focused on providing solutions that are technologically advanced, secure, user-friendly, and seamlessly integrated. Our commitment to advancing healthcare communication technologies ensures that we meet the complex needs of modern healthcare environments, fostering better patient outcomes and more efficient operations.
