Tacera can be tailored to customers’ existing and future needs. Tacera’s open architecture and ability to fully integrate with new and existing software and middleware give the system unrivalled scaling capability, without impacting service availability.

Based on a unique decentralized architecture which eliminates the need for a central server, Tacera maximizes availability at all times. There is no single point of failure that might disrupt call signaling. Additionally, self-testing capabilities and a failover mode forward ensure that a patient call is always available.

Tacera extends the traditional nurse call system functionality. Every device is monitored and programmed via the facility’s LAN, enabling real-time clinical care information and patient data to be delivered or escalated to the right member of staff on the move. This can be processed within a single department or across several, locally, remotely and to wireless staff stations “ ensuring effective message delivery and enabling staff mobility at all times.

While traditional nurse calls only react to events, the TACERA solution sets new standards by providing monitoring and data management tools. These tools analyze, anticipate and alert healthcare staff to patients’ needs. Functionality such as Deferred Call and Rounding enables Tacera to schedule, anticipate and remind nurses and staff of procedures and requirements before they become an issue.

Acute care-specific management reporting tools enable all activity to be logged and audited, providing healthcare facilities with workflow and performance data critical to patient safety and satisfaction. For further reporting, Tacera integrates with existing databases via HL7 and ODBC.

Tacera is specifically designed to integrate with a wide range of hardware, software and database systems. Such systems include clinical alarms, RTLS, building management systems, wireless telephones and more.
