Nurse Call SystemDoha, Qatar·Government Healthcare
Nurse Call System Deployment — 600-Bed Government Hospital
Client Profile
- Organisation
- Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) Affiliate
- Type
- Government General Hospital
- Scale
- 600 beds, 6 wards, 3 ICU zones
- Location
- Doha, Qatar
- Prior system
- Legacy wired nurse call with no emergency code automation and no staff dashboard
The Challenge
- 1Nurse response times averaged 5.1 minutes per call — exceeding the 3-minute clinical benchmark by 70%.
- 2Emergency code announcements (Code Blue, Code Red) were handled manually over PA, causing delays of 90 to 120 seconds.
- 3No real-time visibility for charge nurses — staff had to physically check rooms to confirm call status.
- 4Existing legacy system could not integrate with the hospital PMS or electronic health records (EHR).
- 5PWD patient rooms lacked accessible pull-cord and visual alert systems compliant with local accessibility codes.
The Smart G4 Solution
Smart G4 NCS with Emergency Code Automation and Real-Time Staff Dashboard
- Deployed Smart G4 NCS across all 6 wards and 3 ICU zones — 600 patient rooms, 48 nurse stations, and 12 corridor display panels.
- Installed SB-NC15TSS self-service panels in every patient room for direct nurse call, service requests, and emergency escalation.
- Integrated Code Blue, Code Red, and Code Pink emergency automation — automatic PA broadcast, staff pager alert, and door light activation within 8 seconds of trigger.
- Real-time web dashboard for charge nurses: live call queue, response time tracking, staff location, and escalation alerts.
- SB-NCDOOR room door panels with occupancy status, DND, and service request indicators for corridor visibility.
- PWD-compliant pull-cord systems in 40 accessible rooms with visual and audible alerts at nurse stations.
- Full HL7 interface to hospital PMS for call logging, response time reporting, and shift handover documentation.

The Smart G4 nurse call system completely transformed our ward operations. Response times dropped by 45% within the first month, and our nursing staff now spend more time on patient care rather than chasing alerts. The emergency code automation alone has been a clinical game-changer.

Hospital BMS and Energy Management — 280-Bed Multi-Specialty Hospital
Client Profile
- Organisation
- Ruby Hall Clinic (Affiliate Project)
- Type
- Private Multi-Specialty Hospital
- Scale
- 280 beds, 12 departments, 4 OT suites
- Location
- Pune, Maharashtra, India
- Prior system
- Standalone HVAC units per floor, no centralised monitoring, manual energy metering
The Challenge
- 1Annual energy bill exceeded $520,000 — HVAC alone accounted for 68% of total consumption with no occupancy-based control.
- 2Four operating theatres required strict temperature and humidity control (18 to 22 degrees C, 50 to 60% RH) but had no automated failover.
- 3Predictive maintenance was non-existent — equipment failures caused 3 to 4 unplanned shutdowns per year, each costing $15,000 to $40,000 in lost revenue.
- 4No sub-metering by department — facilities team could not identify energy waste hotspots.
- 5IEC certification required for hospital expansion project — existing infrastructure had no documentation trail.
The Smart G4 Solution
Smart G4 Hospital BMS with Predictive HVAC, Sub-Metering and OT Environment Control
- Deployed Smart G4 GBMS across all 4 floors — centralised control of HVAC, lighting, access, and energy from a single dashboard.
- Occupancy-based HVAC scheduling: patient rooms set back to 26 degrees C when unoccupied, returning to 22 degrees C on admission — reducing HVAC runtime by 31%.
- OT suite environment automation: Smart G4 controllers maintain 18 to 22 degrees C and 50 to 60% RH with automatic failover to backup AHU within 90 seconds of primary failure.
- Sub-metering at department level: 12 energy meters with real-time dashboard showing consumption per ward, OT, ICU, and common areas.
- Predictive maintenance module: vibration and temperature sensors on 24 critical HVAC units with SMS and email alerts when parameters drift outside tolerance.
- Patient room RCU panels: bedside control of lighting, HVAC setpoint, TV, and nurse call — reducing nursing interruptions for environmental adjustments.
- Full IEC 60364 compliance documentation package for hospital expansion permit application.

We were spending over half a million dollars a year on energy and had no visibility into where it was going. Smart G4 BMS gave us department-level metering, predictive maintenance alerts, and automated OT environment control. We recovered the entire investment in under 2.5 years and have not had a single unplanned OT shutdown since.

Emergency Response Automation — Level-1 Trauma Centre
Client Profile
- Organisation
- King Fahad Medical City (Affiliate Project)
- Type
- Government Level-1 Trauma Centre
- Scale
- 180 emergency bays, 6 trauma theatres, 24/7 operation
- Location
- Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
- Prior system
- Manual emergency dispatch via radio and PA — no automated room status, no integrated staff paging
The Challenge
- 1Code Blue response time averaged 6.3 minutes — clinical target was under 3 minutes. Each minute of delay in cardiac arrest increases mortality risk by 10%.
- 2Trauma bay status was communicated verbally — charge nurses had no real-time visibility of which bays were occupied, being cleaned, or ready.
- 3Staff paging was manual: a coordinator had to call each responder individually, adding 2 to 3 minutes to every emergency activation.
- 4No integration between emergency call system and the hospital electronic health records — incident documentation was retrospective and incomplete.
- 5Six trauma theatres required simultaneous environment lockdown during mass casualty events — this was done manually by 3 separate staff members.
The Smart G4 Solution
Smart G4 Emergency Automation with Automated Code Dispatch, Bay Status and Mass Casualty Protocol
- Deployed Smart G4 NCS with emergency automation across all 180 emergency bays and 6 trauma theatres.
- Automated Code Blue dispatch: single button press triggers simultaneous PA broadcast, staff pager group alert, door light activation, and EHR incident log — all within 8 seconds.
- Real-time bay status board: each bay transmits occupancy, cleaning, ready, and critical status to a central display visible from the charge nurse station and triage desk.
- Mass casualty protocol automation: single MCI trigger activates all 6 trauma theatre environments simultaneously — lighting to 100%, HVAC to surgical setpoints, access control to staff-only mode.
- Integration with hospital PMS via HL7 FHIR: every emergency call, response time, and resolution is automatically logged to the patient record.
- Smart G4 SB-NC15TSS panels in every bay with one-touch escalation from standard call to Code Blue to Code Red.
- Staff location tracking via NCS panel interaction — charge nurse dashboard shows last-known location of all on-duty responders.

In a Level-1 trauma centre, every second matters. Smart G4 emergency automation cut our Code Blue response time by 59% — from over 6 minutes to under 3. The mass casualty protocol automation alone has transformed how we handle multi-patient events. This is not just technology; it is a clinical safety system.
