Nurse Calling Systems Market Trends

Growing acceptance of wireless nurse call systems, also referred to as autonomous nurse calling systems, is one key trend. This trend is fuelled by the flexibility and scalability provided by wireless nurse call systems, compared with wired systems. Furthermore, growing integration with mobile devices and real-time location systems (RTLS) enhances the possibilities of quick response and better coordination of the staff. The integration of data analytics and reporting is also gaining momentum, where healthcare facilities can keep a record of response times, derive trends, and optimize workflow. Another signature trend is the rising demand for patient-centric solutions and interoperability. New-generation nurse call systems are increasingly built to interoperate with other healthcare IT systems like EHRs and automated building management systems. Thus, made possible is seamless communication and data exchange that improves patient safety and operational efficiency. In addition, the emergence of smart hospitals and the increasing need for remote patient monitoring is calling for the development of the cloud nurse call system with capabilities for remote access and management.

Challenges In Nurse Calling Systems Market

The nurse call systems market is besieged with numerous hurdles challenging its growth and further expansion. Chief among them is the kind of major capital investment required at the beginning to cover hardware purchase, system integration, staff training, and maintenance costs thereafter. This financial burden proves especially difficult for small health facilities operating on tight budgets and raises questions about the feasibility of such systems. Besides, the desire to ensure nurse call system integration with the hospital's existing ones comes with its own complexities and issues of compatibility, as potential disruptions occur necessitating further investment in technology and skills. The most common touchpoint is that false alarms, which induce diversion of patient attention, become common through user action or faults in equipment. These false alerts waste man-hours and resources but also trash others' safety as a result of alarm fatigue among the healthcare staff. Data security and privacy in nurse-call systems will be paramount as these systems are involved in confidential patient information. Compliance with stringent regulations like HIPAA entails constant monitoring and investment in good security measures, thereby adding another operational challenge to healthcare providers.

Risks & Prospects in Nurse Calling Systems Market

However, the growing geriatric population complements the development of systems to offer options to be wireless and based on an IP approach for maximizing scalability and interoperability connectivity with the EHRs and mobile devices. This is supplemented by the growing number of elderly populations worldwide, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, creating a high demand for direct nursing care management solutions that can cater to elderly healthcare needs. North America holds the major share of the market for the most advanced healthcare infrastructure, propitious government policies, and awareness among all providers of healthcare. Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region as the aging population increases, and with the increase in healthcare budgets and supportive government initiatives, countries like Japan, China, and India lead this growth as they are focusing more on geriatric care and are already implementing smart healthcare technologies. Europe's contribution to the market is also huge due to the regulatory adherence and technological integration of healthcare facilities.

Key Target Audience

, The main audience for the Nurse Calling Systems Market ranges from healthcare providers to administrators in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and rehabilitation centres. Such persons understand mostly about the patient safety measures, staff communication, and improvement of workflow. They need systems for improving quality patient care that are reliable, easy to use, integrate well into existing infrastructure, and are very cost-effective. Decision-makers employ various parameters, among which system scalability is important, the integration capabilities, and cost-effectiveness., Equally, the market also attracts those technology integrators and healthcare IT professionals who would be concerned about the implementation and maintenance of the systems. For these target audience types, the required features are minimum technical specifications, maximum support, and training resources to effect proper implementation and continued operation of systems. As such, patient advocacy groups and elderly care organizations are becoming much more powerful actors in terms of promoting advanced communication technology for their benefit in responding to patients. The feedback tends to focus more on how intuitive those interfaces are and reliable emergency response attributes.

Merger and acquisition

Indeed, the nurse call systems market has gained much from mergers and acquisitions along its glorious way. As for the last entry, the latest acquisition made was Baxter International's acquisition of Hillrom, which took place in September 2021 for $12.4bn and was finished by December 2021. This takeover extension widened Baxter's integrated care solutions portfolio by adding to it Hillrom's advanced nurse call and patient monitoring systems. Earlier, back in 2017, AMETEK, Inc. had merged with Rauland-Borg, a nurse call communication leader, to enable AMETEK to cement a stronger place in healthcare communication technology. Also, it bought Voalte, a firm specializing in real-time mobile healthcare communications, back in 2019, further strengthening it in citation and patient communications competencies. These strategic firms' moves, therefore, put more emphasis on enhancing patient care through integrated communications. >
