CarePlus is a message based nurse call system designed for hospitals and aged care applications.
History
The CarePlus Nurse Call system was originally launched by ELA Systems in October 2008 and was acquired by NiQ Health in early 2010. The application was originally intended as an improvement of the overall communication process however, its use expanded to get alerts and messages during patient care and emergencies. It received VDE DIN 0834 and UL1069 certification in the call system category, and EN 60601-1 in Medical electrical equipment category. The company later partnered with ClinicAll infotainment systems to integrate their nurse call system on the patient entertainment terminals to offer multiple alarm and messages depending on the need and the acuity of the patient. The company is headquartered in the USA with offices in the United Kingdom and Australia. CarePlus is regulated and international standards, including FDA (from US), TGA (from Aus), and EU Medical Devices Directive, and it is advertised to meet privacy requirements of HIPAA approval.
