Case Study: Austco improves nurse call response and patient care with Advantech’s HIT-W121

Austco Adopts Advantech’s HIT-W121 for IP Nurse Call Solution

Austco, a global leader in nurse call systems, needed to address missed or delayed bedside alerts and fragmented manual workflows that put patients at risk. To modernize communication and centralize management across devices, Austco implemented its IP-based Tacera Nurse Call System and selected Advantech’s HIT-W121 healthcare infotainment terminal to serve as nurse station terminals.

Advantech’s HIT-W121, running Austco’s Tacera software, provides a fanless, IP65-rated touchscreen terminal that displays real-time calls from beds, pull cords, intercoms and other devices, enabling prioritized responses and centralized management. The Advantech-enabled solution improved nurses’ situational awareness, reduced unanswered calls and time spent searching for caregivers, and delivered measurable improvements to patient experience and quality of care while offering scalable, easy-to-install hardware for long-term ROI.
