11. WORK TASK MONITORING FOR HOSPITAL PORTERS
Application: HOSPITAL
System: LBB 6000.
Problem: Hospital porters need to be informed of
their work tasks i.e.transporting patients
from A to B.
Requirement: Wireless communication between
hospital porters and a Patient Transport
Information System.
Solution
A Patient Transport Information System is coupled to an
Alphadesk PC using its RS232 capability.Each hospital
porter has a transceiver with an assigned address.Once a
porter receives a call to transport a patient from A to B,this
call can be acknowledged or rejected depending on the
porters workload.When a porter performs a task,he
indicates his status by using his transceiver,which informs
the alphadesk,which in-turn informs the Patient Transport
Information System.When a patient has been transported,
the porter now indicates his status (‘FREE’) and waits for a
new assignment.
12. REAL-TIME STATUS OF ABSENT RECEIVERS
Application: HOSPITAL
System: LBB 6000.
Problem: The customer requires in real-time, the
absent status of the Gen. III paging
receivers used in the system.
Requirement : Two separate DP6000
busses, one used for scanning absent
receivers and the other for DP6000
operation and transmission.
Solution
The system uses two independent DP6000 bus lines
(primary and secondary). Using the primary DP6000 bus
line, the storage racks for all the system receivers are
connected. Using this method all absent receivers housed
in their racks can be speedily scanned by the primary
alphadesk. If a pager is detected as absent (i.e in its
storage rack) this is reported to a secondary PC,
automatically updating its status in the ‘Auto call’ table to
absent.As well as reporting the status of absent receivers
on the primary (alphadesk) and secondary PC, other PCs
on a network can receive in ‘real-time’ an ‘up-to-date’
status of all absent receivers in the system.
