With €1 billion allocated by the PNRR for the realization of Community Hospitals (Ospedali di Comunità) by 2026, Italian healthcare is entering a new era of proximity care. Irbema partners with Neat Legrand Care to provide innovative, wireless infrastructure that meets the specific safety and efficiency requirements of these modern post-acute facilities.
Community Hospitals: Bridging the Gap in Patient Care
Community Hospitals provide low-intensity, short-term inpatient care for post-acute patients, acting as an essential bridge between hospital discharge and home care. Typically equipped with 15 to 40 beds, these facilities require specialized monitoring for elderly patients, including those with dementia or behavioral disorders. Implementing an Advanced Nurse Call System is vital to reducing emergency room overcrowding and ensuring 24/7 assistance.
Neat Legrand Care: Wireless Nurse Call Innovation
The Neat Legrand Care system is designed for high-density medical environments where flexibility and rapid installation are key. By utilizing wireless operation, healthcare facilities can optimize workflows without the need for invasive cabling.
Key Components: TREX and Smile-ID
- TREX System: A modular radio ecosystem including bed buttons, bathroom pull-cords, and specialized environmental sensors (flood, gas, fire).
- D-POS Dementia System: Secure door control using the Smile-ID wrist transmitter. It ensures patient safety by alerting staff if a patient with dementia approaches an unauthorized exit, without restricting their overall mobility.
- Bed Presence Monitoring: Programmable sensors detect when a patient leaves their bed, preventing falls and allowing for immediate intervention.
IP Integration and Advanced Alarm Management
The core of the Neat Legrand ecosystem is the IP Telephone Exchange, which links all nurse call services. This integration allows for seamless communication between patients and staff through the D-Tect Advanced Central Unit.
Strategic Features for Healthcare Operators
- Visual Monitoring: Alarms are displayed on customized floor plans for immediate location identification.
- Smart Routing: Advanced alarm management based on time slots and staff availability.
- Multi-Channel Alerts: Instant notifications via DECT, GSM, SMS, or E-mail.
- Third-Party Integration: Full compatibility with corridor displays (WiFi/Ethernet) and existing medical equipment.
Efficient Healthcare Infrastructure for 2026
Choosing Neat Legrand Care technology means investing in operational efficiency and data-driven management. Irbema offers full support in designing systems compliant with PNRR standards, ensuring a safer and more effective service for both patients and healthcare providers.
