Toronto East General: Commitment to Workplace Safety

TEGH is committed to increasing safety in the workplace, which is why we became the first GTA hospital to roll out Vocera wireless communications devices on inpatient units. The instant communication they provide will:

• improve the safety of the work environment for staff
• enhance patient safety by reducing response times in emergencies
• improve efficiency in decision-making which will improve patient flow and quality of care, and
• allow patients to initiate two-way voice communication from their bedside (when integrated with the nurse call-bell system).
