Acurio Health's soon-to-open private paediatric and maternity facility The George Centre in southwest Sydney will be equipped with nurse call solutions by health IT provider Rauland Australia.

Rauland's Responder Nurse Call and Master Clocks, along with associated clinical workflow, design, delivery, and installation services, will be delivered to the A$100 million ($72.5 million) private paediatric facility which is set to open in the middle of 2023. 

WHY IT MATTERS

Acurio Health has not said much about its reason for choosing Rauland but through its technology, they will be able to assist nursing and clinical teams in their provision of care.

According to Rauland, its enterprise end-to-end communication offering Concentric Care brings together organisations, departments, buildings, and units in a single platform that is adaptive to the size and specialisation of a specific care environment. 

"Our organisations share a passion and commitment to innovation and we’re looking forward to working with the Acurio team to deliver great clinical outcomes and an excellent patient experience at The George Centre," Rauland Australia CEO Cameron Burt said about their partnership.

THE LARGER TREND

This announcement follows Rauland's recent contract with aged care provider Apollo Care to also deliver its Responder nurse call system at the latter's Queensland sites. Apollo chose Rauland's solutions as it intends to increase the mobility of its care team when responding to residents, liaising with other staff and accessing documentation. It also desired its IP-based architecture that offers different integration benefits. 

In September, Gold Coast Health in Queensland has set up Rauland's Concierge bedside terminal system in the COVID-19 ward of Gold Coast University Hospital to reduce nurse contact amid rising coronavirus infections and to enable remote consultations.
