21 Overview Chapter1 Introduction Telligence is a flexible, highly powerful nurse call communications system with the following features: Scalable, flexible system design You can design it to meet any customer needs. Distributed network-centric (IP-based) platform Since the system intelligence is spread across the system, there can be no single point of failure. Simplified wiring CAT5 (minimum) cabling is used for all data and voice communications to smart stations. Peripheral stations require only a single pair of wires. Easily configurable All functions are configured via a laptop or personal computer connected to the Telligence LAN (Local Area Network). At its simplest, the system consists of a Telligence PowerSwitch, a Telligence Station Gateway, a staff console, patient stations, and corridor lights so that patients can place calls from their rooms and staff can answer them at the staff console. See the basic system block diagram on page 99. At its most sophisticated, the system can include several enhancements to expand its capabilities: Computers with supplemental software can accompany the staff consoles, to increase staff members flexibility in answering calls, paging and locating staff members, and performing staff assignments. Annunciators can be added to provide remote display of patient calls. A telephone gateway can be added so that staff members can answer patient calls using standard facility telephones. Wireless handsets can be added so that patient calls can be directly routed to their assigned staff members. Pocket paging can be added to notify staff members of patient calls via their radio pagers. See the enhanced block diagram on page 101. This planning guide explains all of these options. It starts with the hardware, working its way from the rooms back to the Telligence infrastructure. It then explains the software options. It then ends with the power, cabling, and backbox requirements. The appendixes provide a quick reference sheet of Telligence capacities, a list of related GE Security documentation, and the foldout drawings referenced throughout this document. Telligence Planning Guide 1

22 Introduction PRELIMINARY COPY: 2/14/2006 Telligence Architecture Telligence is based on a distributed, network-centric, IP-based architecture. The system s intelligence is decentralized and spread across several components: IP devices staff consoles, annunciators, and Telligence Station Gateways Non-IP devices dome lights and smart stations with audio capability, such as the patient and staff/duty stations Peripheral devices non-audio stations such as code blue and lavatory stations Telligence uses an IP data backbone and standard network wiring topology to handle nurse call data and voice traffic. The system follows Voice over IP (VoIP) standards to allow full-duplex voice communication with smart stations. Corridor lights serve as the point of connection between the stations and the Telligence LAN; all smart and peripheral stations must connect to a corridor light. Each corridor light receives data, voice and power from the Telligence LAN via CAT5 (minimum) cable and a wire pair. From each corridor light, CAT5 (minimum) cable is used to provide data, voice, and power to its smart stations, and a wire pair (CAT5 or any existing wiring) is used to provide data and power to its peripheral stations. See Figure 24 on page 85. As a general rule, each room has its own corridor light, all stations within the room are connected to that light, and all of those stations are configured with the same room number. However, other variations are possible through creative configuration. For example, if a room requires more stations than a single corridor light can handle, a second corridor light can be installed at the room, the extra stations can be wired to that light, and they can all be configured with the same room number as the stations that are wired to the first corridor light. See Figure 1 on page 3. As a second example, if a room does not require its own corridor light (e.g., a staff lounge), the staff/duty station in that room can be wired to a neighboring room s corridor light, but the staff/duty station can still be configured with a separate room number. The shared corridor light can also be configured so that it does not illuminate for calls placed from the staff/duty station. See Figure 2 on page 4. See the rest of this document for details on system components, system capacities, cabling, and so on. 2 Telligence Planning Guide

25 Introduction Typical Telligence Environments Telligence will typically be installed in acute care facilities (i.e., hospitals), but can also be installed in other types of environments, including: Long-term care facilities Assisted living facilities Outpatient clinics Surgical centers Rural hospitals See the following section on low, mid, and high-end systems. Low, Mid, and High-End Systems Telligence is a scalable system that allows you to mix and match features to meet a particular facility s needs. It will usually fall into one of three general categories: Low-end system (visual only): In a low-end system, the call devices (call cords or peripheral stations) generate tones, light corridor lights in the hallways, and annunciate at the nurses station. There is no voice communication between the patient or resident and the caregiver. The call is canceled at the point of origin. This kind of system is common in long term care or assisted living facilities. Mid-range system (visual and audio): A mid-range system adds two-way voice communication between the patient or resident and the caregiver. The calling station, which has a speaker and microphone, also includes a pillow speaker that allows the caller to place a call from a bed or chair and listen to a caregiver s response through the pillow speaker instead of through the patient station on the wall. The call is answered from a staff console at the nurses station by a unit secretary or by another staff member such as an aide or a nurse. Depending on the type of call, it may be canceled from the staff console or it may be answered at the caller s room. Mid-range systems are common in long term care facilities and acute care hospitals. High-end system (visual and audio, plus enhancements): A high-end system adds the means to send calls directly to wireless handsets and pocket pagers carried by staff members, to create performance reports based on the system s nurse call activity, to locate staff members via an IR location system, and to interface to the facility s Admissions, Discharge and Transfer (ADT) system so that additional patient information can be provided at the point of care. High-end systems are common in acute care hospitals. Telligence Planning Guide 5

26 Introduction PRELIMINARY COPY: 2/14/2006 System Levels The Telligence System is organized in several logical levels bed, room, duty area, nursing unit, and system. See the diagram below and the explanation that follows. System Nursing Unit Nursing Unit Duty Area Duty Area Room Room Room Room Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Duty Area Duty Area Room Room Room Room Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed Figure 3: Telligence System Levels After all stations (or beds ) have been installed and wired to their corridor lights, they are assigned to room numbers. Multiple beds can be in the same room. Each room is assigned to a duty area. Duty areas are primarily used to define which rooms will be covered by each staff console, annunciator, and staff/duty station, and also by each patient station when it is in staff follow mode. Each duty area is assigned to a nursing unit. Nursing units are sets of duty areas that are grouped together, typically because their associated stations are physically in the same part of the facility (e.g., on the same wing or same floor). When the optional PC Connect applications are added to a Telligence System, the nursing units are used to define which parts of the facility each user will be able to view onscreen. The nursing units are grouped into a Telligence System. A Telligence System is defined by a LAN segment and is only limited by the number of IP devices it can support (currently 64) No audio can pass between Telligence Systems. No data can pass between Telligence Systems unless they share the same PC Connect host. This is the only way that multiple systems can be networked. 6 Telligence Planning Guide

27 Telligence Configuration Charts Telligence Configuration Charts When planning a Telligence System for a facility, you should have a copy of the Telligence Configuration Charts in front of you. These charts are intended to be discussed and filled out in cooperation with the system purchaser while you plan the system. You should also have a copy of the Telligence quotation tool (available on our web site at Glossary Term Smart Patient Station Smart Staff/Duty Station Staff Console Annunciator IP Device Peripheral Station Dome Light Bed Receptacle Telligence Station Gateway (TSG) Telligence PowerSwitch Definition A patient station that sends and receives data and audio over separate channels. A staff/duty station that sends and receives data and audio over separate channels. When in staff follow mode, it annunciates calls within its assigned duty areas. The primary device used by healthcare staff to communicate with patients and other staff members. It annunciates and answers calls from patient and staff/duty stations. It also signals alerts from healthcare equipment and devices connected to the Telligence System. The staff console sends and receives both data and voice over an IP network. A device similar to a staff console except wall-mounted. An annunciator is primarily used to display patient calls at locations other than the nurses station. A device with an IP port interface, such as the staff console, annunciator, or Telligence Station Gateway. A non-audio station such as the code blue, staff emergency, lavatory, presence, or remote call station. A device that visually indicates calls that have been placed. The color and flash rate indicate the call type and priority. Dome light is a generic term used to describe both corridor and zone lights. A device that provides an interface to a Hill-Rom or Stryker electronic bed. A device that provides a gateway between the IP network and up to 16 rooms (each having 1 patient station and 1 corridor light) or up to 40 devices (corridor lights, zone lights, supervisory lights, single and dual patient stations, and staff/duty stations). A device that forms the backbone of the Telligence LAN. All TSGs, staff consoles, and annunciators are connected to PowerSwitches. Telligence Planning Guide 7

28 Notes 8 Telligence Planning Guide

29 Rooms and Chapter2 Lights Typical Room Setups Various smart patient and staff/duty stations are available for use with Telligence. These stations are installed throughout the facility, and provide the primary means of audio communication between staff members and patients. There is a maximum of 512 smart patient and staff/duty stations per system, with a maximum of four smart stations per room (i.e., per corridor light). A single patient station supports one bed. A dual patient station supports two beds. The room may have any combination of single patient stations, dual patient stations, and staff/duty stations, as long as the number of smart stations wired to the room s corridor light does not exceed four. If the facility requires more than four smart stations in a room, a second corridor light can be installed outside the room, up to four more smart stations can be wired to that corridor light, and all of the stations can be configured with the same room number. There is also a maximum of 10 peripheral stations per room (i.e., per corridor light). Any combination of these stations can be installed, as long as the number of peripheral stations wired to the room s corridor light does not exceed 10. All Telligence stations, both smart and peripheral, have default buttons that place calls of default priorities. However, all of them can be customized with different buttons and different call priorities. This allows you to create virtually any type of station that may be required for a facility. For example, the standard lavatory station (shown on page 36) has only one call button. If a facility wants a lavatory station with two call buttons, to place two different types of calls, you can select a station with two call buttons and reconfigure it as a lavatory station. See Station Configuration Options on page 107 for a table showing the available stations, their default call priorities, and the other priorities that can be assigned to them. This table also shows which stations have pull cords and which stations have relays. The rest of this chapter describes the standard room setups that are frequently used in a healthcare facility, based on the intended use of the rooms. Other setups are also possible; the ones described here are merely the most commonly used. For assistance on other room setups, contact the GE Security Applications Engineering Group. Brief descriptions of the stations and accessories are included in this chapter; for detailed descriptions, refer to their respective catalog sheets. A complete list of catalog sheets can be found in Appendix B Related Documentation starting on page 93. Telligence Planning Guide 9

30 Patient Rooms PRELIMINARY COPY: 2/14/2006 Patient Rooms What do patient stations do? Patient stations enable patients to call the nurses station for assistance. A pillow speaker or call cord is plugged into the patient station to allow the patient to place calls. Staff members who are in a patient s room can also press the buttons on the patient station to place higher priority calls such as code blue and staff emergency calls. Each patient station provides the ability to place calls of four different priorities (three station buttons plus pillow speaker or call cord, as shown in Figure 4 on page 12). The 1/4-inch (0.64 cm) jacks on the front of the patient stations can be programmed to work with call cords or with auxiliary input devices (latching equipment only). Each patient station also contains a relay that can be used to activate an elapsed timer or a passive dome light. For detailed information on patient stations, see their catalog sheet. For more information on call cords and pillow speakers, see Call Cords on page 24 and Pillow Speakers on page 26. A patient station is typically associated with a lavatory station located in the patient s bathroom; see Lavatory Stations on page 35. Several options can be associated with a patient station, such as peripheral stations that place different call priorities, auxiliary input stations, light controllers, electronic beds, and presence stations. These are covered in the Room Options section starting on page 23. Where do they go? Patient stations are typically mounted in the headwalls, adjacent to the beds, to allow staff easy access to the controls. What models are available? There are three typical patient room setups: A private room is intended for a single patient. It is usually equipped with: One HC-PSTN1 Single Smart Patient Station, or One HC-PSTN1-BED Single Smart Patient Station with BedConnect A semi-private room is intended for two patients. It is usually equipped with: One HC-PSTN2 Dual Smart Patient Station, or One HC-PSTN2-BED Dual Smart Patient Station with BedConnect, or Two HC-PSTN1 Single Smart Patient Stations, or Two HC-PSTN1-BED Single Smart Patient Stations with BedConnect 10 Telligence Planning Guide

31 Patient Rooms A ward is intended for several patients. A four-patient ward can be equipped with: Two HC-PSTN2 Dual Smart Patient Stations, or Two HC-PSTN2-BED Dual Smart Patient Stations with BedConnect, or Four HC-PSTN1 Single Smart Patient Stations, or Four HC-PSTN1-BED Single Smart Patient Stations with BedConnect An eight-patient ward can be equipped with: Four HC-PSTN2 Dual Smart Patient Stations, or Four HC-PSTN2-BED Dual Smart Patient Stations with BedConnect The ward can also be equipped with any combination of single and dual stations, as long as the number of patient stations wired to that room s corridor light does not exceed four. Patient stations with the BedConnect feature are shown in the component layout on page 103. These stations have bed receptacles on the front of the station, for direct connection to electronic beds. The other patient stations do not. If an electronic bed will be used with a station that does not have the BedConnect feature, a bed receptacle must be hard wired to the back of the patient station and mounted on the wall. The electronic bed is then plugged into the bed receptacle. See Electronic Bed Receptacles on page 30. If patient stations with BedConnect receptacles are selected, GE Security recommends that a breakaway cable be ordered for each receptacle. This 3-foot (1 m) cable protects the receptacle from damage if the electronic bed is rolled out without being disconnected from the patient station. One end of the cable clamps to the BedConnect receptacle. The other end connects to the electronic bed. If the bed is moved, it disconnects from the breakaway cable instead of being pulled out of the station. Telligence Planning Guide 11

32 Patient Rooms PRELIMINARY COPY: 2/14/2006 What buttons do the stations have? The smart patient stations have four buttons. Each station is shipped with these default button labels installed: Places a staff emergency call Places a code blue call Cancels pending calls Places a staff normal call Figure 4: Dual Smart Patient Station (with BedConnect) Showing Default Buttons 12 Telligence Planning Guide

33 Patient Rooms However, additional button labels are also supplied with each patient station, in the form of strips that can be inserted into the station overlay. Figures 5 and 6 show the dual patient station with the alternative button strips inserted. The installer can insert these strips into the station and configure the station to place the call types indicated on the button labels. If the facility wants to create custom buttons with their own colors and text, a custom kit can be ordered. See Custom Button Label Kits on page 53. Also see Station Configuration Options on page 107. Places a staff emergency call Places a code blue call Cancels pending calls Activates privacy function Figure 5: Dual Smart Patient Station with Privacy Button Places a staff normal call Cancels pending calls Figure 6: Dual Smart Patient Station with Assist Button Only Telligence Planning Guide 13

34 Patient Rooms PRELIMINARY COPY: 2/14/2006 How many are needed? The number of patient stations required depends on the facility s layout and requirements. Work with the facility planners to determine this number. Keep in mind that there is a maximum of four patient stations per room (i.e., per corridor light). A room can contain a combination of single and dual patient stations. What other items are required? Each patient station requires the items shown below. Item Purpose Comments Backbox To mount the station See Chapter 6 for specifics. CAT5 (minimum) cable To wire the station See Chapter 5 for specifics. Pillow speaker or call cord HC-SS37-BID Bed Receptacle To enable the patient to call the nurses station To connect an electronic bed to the station A dual patient station should have two pillow speakers or call cords (one per bed). Only required if an electronic bed will be connected to a station that does not have a BedConnect receptacle on the front. Order one HC-SS37-BID per electronic bed. HC-BACABLE Pin Breakaway Cable To protect the BedConnect receptacle Recommended by GE Security. Only used on stations with BedConnect receptacles. One cable should be ordered for each receptacle. Corridor light To provide power, audio, and data to the station See Dome Lights on page 55. A corridor light can be shared by up to four smart stations. Table 1: Required Items for Smart Patient Stations 14 Telligence Planning Guide

35 Staff Rooms Staff Rooms What do staff/duty stations do? Staff/duty stations enable staff members to call the nurses station from their work areas. Each staff/duty station provides the ability to place calls of three different priorities (three station buttons, as shown in Figure 7 on page 16). These stations have a staff follow function that can be used to notify the staff of calls that have been placed from other stations by flashing an LED on the station and sounding a tone. The station can be configured to operate in one of three modes: Staff mode The staff follow function is always deactivated. Duty mode The staff follow function is always activated. Presence mode The staff follow function activates when staff presence is registered in that room, and deactivates when staff presence is removed from the room. Each staff/duty station also contains a relay that can be used to activate an elapsed timer or a passive dome light. For detailed information on the staff/duty station, see its catalog sheet. Several options can be added to a staff/duty station. These are covered in the Room Options section starting on page 23. Where do they go? Staff/duty stations are installed in non-patient rooms or areas in which staff members may be working, such as utility rooms, on-call rooms, medication rooms, nutrition rooms, linen rooms, staff lounges, or storage rooms. The stations are typically mounted near the doors so that staff can easily access the controls. Consult state or local health codes for required locations in your area. What models are available?

36 Staff Rooms PRELIMINARY COPY: 2/14/2006 What buttons do the stations have? The staff/duty station has four buttons. Each station is shipped with these default button labels installed: Places a staff emergency call Places a code blue call Cancels pending calls Places a staff normal call Figure 7: Smart Staff/Duty Station Showing Default Buttons However, three more sets of button labels are also supplied with each staff/duty station, in the form of strips that can be inserted into the station overlay. They are the same button strips provided with the patient stations. (See Figures 5 and 6 on page 13.) The installer can insert these alternative strips into the station and configure the station to place the call types indicated on the button labels. If the facility wants to create custom buttons with their own colors and text, a custom kit can be ordered. See Custom Button Label Kits on page 53. Also see Station Configuration Options on page Telligence Planning Guide

37 Staff Rooms How many are needed? The number of staff/duty stations required depends on the facility s layout and requirements, and on state or local health codes. Work with the facility planners to determine this number. Keep in mind that a maximum of four smart stations can be wired to a single corridor light. What other items are required? Each staff/duty station requires the items shown below. Item Purpose Comments Backbox To mount the station See Chapter 6 for specifics. CAT5 (minimum) cable To wire the station See Chapter 5 for specifics. Corridor light To provide power, audio, and data to the station See Dome Lights on page 55. A corridor light can be shared by up to four smart stations. If the customer does not want a corridor light outside the staff room, the staff/duty station can share a light with the nearest patient room. The staff/duty station can then be configured so that (a) it has a separate room number, and (b) it does not illuminate the corridor light when it places a call.
