Situational Awareness & Nurse Call
Status Solutions is a leading provider of situational awareness technologies that help organizations improve safety, security, and operational efficiency. The nurse call solution, called Situational Awareness and Response Assistant (SARA), is designed to improve communication and response times between patients and staff, resulting in better patient outcomes and overall satisfaction.
SARA provides real-time alerts and notifications to caregivers, enabling them to respond quickly and efficiently to patient needs. SARA integrates with other systems in your facility, such as security and access control systems, to provide a complete picture of what’s happening in your facility. It is highly customizable, and scalable, to accommodate future growth or changes in your operations.
Unity and Status Solutions' nurse call solution with situational awareness offers a comprehensive and customizable approach to improving communication.

Situational Awareness Core Capabilities
Mobile Duress
Hospitals, educational institutions, industrial sites, retirement living homes all have employees, clients, residents or students that could be anywhere on the property and suffer mobile duress. In any situation where someone needs help – the use of ‘panic’ or ‘help me’ buttons or pendants can be used to call for help, providing location information.
It might be employees who are in a high-risk environment or need others to help resolve a situation. It could be a student needing help on campus or a senior needing help in a home. When this happens, we refer to it as mobile duress.
A speedy response is often critical in these circumstances. Knowing the location of the person needing help is crucial in providing the fastest response. So a system that can not only receive the alert but provide location based information when notifying respondents is key to a positive outcome.
Environmental Monitoring
Alerting and notification can extend to Environmental Monitoring of HVAC systems, refrigeration units, boilers, windows, doors and more can automatically alert when something is wrong. Early detection and prevention can save an organization thousands of dollars. For example a boiler leaking and causing water damage or a hospital medical refrigerator spoiling medication.
Without tools and without automation, this requires employees to manually perform some very manual, often menial tasks – and understand the implications of that work. Status Solution’s SARA not only automatically senses when something is wrong, it directly alerts the right person to respond. Even that is an outside service provider.
Mass Notification
Higher expectations are placed on institutions that are responsible for the more vulnerable in our society which includes hospitals, senior and assisted living, and schools. Mass notification plays an integral role in an emergency preparedness planning.
While you can’t control all the causes of emergencies, certainly not the weather, you can control how you prepare, plan and respond.
Emergency preparedness planning needs to embed communications into their disaster recovery scenarios.
With the tools available to us today, we can monitor and alert in real-time. We need to interface this with the ability to communicate appropriately – right person at the right time. This requires a system that can incorporate a variety of communication media – voice, text, email, etc. – as well as the rules to determine when, who and how communication will take place. Best practice indicates that this should be automated.
Intelligent Rules Based Engine
The core of the system is the Status Solution’s SARA server based software that provides the intelligent rules based engine. Organizations can automate their event responses depending on the input device. Who should I notify, how should I notify – for this specific event – and program that response into the system. Once an alert from that device is triggered, the rule is run automatically. No human intervention is required.
Escalations can be built into those rules. If the first notification is not acknowledged within a time you identify, the next step in the rule is initiated. This could be to notify another colleague, supervisor, manager or all of these. You can have many steps in any rule.
Resident Engagement
CATIE (short for Communication and Access To Information Everywhere) is a self-service resident engagement portal that will keep your residents informed, active, and engaged in your community. CATIE was designed for seniors and has an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that even the most technology-averse residents will use.
We all know how hard it can be to keep our elderly parents engaged these days. This portal will allow you not only to interact with them, but also provide information on what's going in their community. As well so they're always up-to date no matter where life takes him or her throughout the year.
