A powerful solution to support paging systems today whilst preparing for a smart, digital hospital tomorrow

Since its first use in a New York City Hospital in 1950, pagers have and still continue to play an important part for doctors and staff in hospitals. Their affordability and "deeply entwined in legacy systems" status makes them a cornerstone of communications amongst healthcare workers.

However, research has shown that one-way communication paging systems offer no ability to answer back with the same immediacy and efficiency as a mobile device. The time wasted in communicating adds up as a burden on the healthcare system, especially when the answer back could be a simple yes or no response.

Anecdotes of nurses writing patient notes on their scrubs and Australian healthcare providers reporting massive data breaches from pagers also highlight the need for a better, more accurate and effective way to communicate patient information.

Moreover, wide area paging systems will effectively not be available from the beginning of 2022.

How can healthcare IT experts and leaders support their hospital workforce to continue using their paging systems today, whilst also preparing for a smooth, seamless transition to a unified, connected ecosystem for next generation digital hospitals?

Meet Olinqua's Messaging Platform

Olinqua’s Messaging Platform is a middleware platform that is transforming one-way communication pagers with effective two-way communications with unified, connected ecosystem across smart devices and hospital systems.

It does this by incorporating pagers and other interrelated workflow and communication applications - personal directories, nurse call and alert solutions and mobile devices - to automate the handling and dispatching of hospital messages and alerts.

One communications workflow, one connected workforce

Olinqua’s Messaging Platform is helping many Australian healthcare facilities to transition seamlessly from pagers to unified, connected ecosystem for next generation digital hospitals.

The result is more effective and clear communications - essential for any workforce but especially in a health setting - with many other positive flow on benefits for our hospital workforce and their patients.

Flexibility across all devices

Olinqua's platform supports all types of devices from clinical smartphones, pagers, WiFi phones to BYOD. A common platform provides an easy transition across hospital communication devices while maintaining consistent workflows.

Seamless transition

Olinqua's messaging platform supports the current use of pagers through an easy to use interface whilst also encouraging an easy transition to messaging to existing mobile and smart communications devices so that staff will be able to continue their workflows.

Secure information sharing

Olinqua’s Messaging Platform exchanges information with EMR eliminating inefficiencies that occur with manual processes at shift changes, ensuring high-quality care and minimising the potential for errors.

Streamline workflows

Pager systems require staff to complete tasks and return to a base to get their next task. Our Messaging Platform automates communication tasks that can be sent continually, letting staff work more efficiently.

Keep our caregivers safe

Protecting all staff members is essential. Olinqua’s Messaging Platform can add protective measures at the staff fingertips with personal duress alarms that let first responders track their location and find them faster.

Faster, better patient care

A smart, unified communications device allows more information sharing in the initial contact so that staff can understand the nature of the emergency and prepare accordingly.

Create a healing environment

Replacing overhead alarms and paging systems with information directly to mobile, smart devices reduce constant noises that disturbs patients resting and causes alarm fatigue with staff.

Manage COVID-19 spread

Smart devices engineered for a hospital setting can be comprehensively disinfected in a way that pagers and other consumer-level devices can’t.
