DENVER, Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectralink, a leader in enterprise mobile solutions, and West-Com, a leader in patient safety and clinical workflow solutions, today announce the certification of Novus® Connect, a nurse call solution for acute care facilities, for the Versity enterprise smartphone. Seamless, workflow-driven communications powered by this joint solution ensure rapid response and care team collaboration, while empowering caregivers to deliver more personalized, focused care for their patients throughout the day.

"In order to compete amid the growing array of challenges and complexities that define today's healthcare environments, hospitals and other healthcare providers are seeking mobile solutions that can empower staff with better information to elevate patient care while enhancing their efficiency and productivity," said Bill Foster, director Healthcare Business Development for Spectralink.  "Spectralink and West-Com address these needs with smarter tools that enable more immediate information exchange among caregivers and better communication between patients and their clinicians, even while away from the bedside."

With the certification of Novus® Connect for the Versity smartphone, healthcare providers can:

• Quickly and securely respond to patient and family member requests
• Readily and reliably communicate with care team members to improve care coordination, reduce medical errors, and streamline workflow to maximize direct care time with patients
• Be more informed and prepared to triage and respond to patient needs, monitoring alerts and other issues throughout the day

Two leading-edge technologies; one exceptional solution
Purpose built for the rigors and requirements of today's healthcare workflows and working environments, the Versity smartphone delivers enterprise-grade performance, superior voice quality, and proven reliability in a durable, slim, lightweight design that is easy to carry and use. 

West-Com Novus Connect augments these capabilities with ready access to real-time data that helps clinicians enhance patient care, improve clinical collaboration and drive better outcomes. Deployed through Versity's open Android platform, the Novus Connect mobility application extends the nurse call systems capabilities into the hands of the direct caregivers, allowing them to receive event notifications, callback to patient rooms and collaborate with other caregivers remotely.
