IntroductionThe Jeron Provider® 790 Nurse Call System is an advanced, highlyprogrammable and flexible system for signaling and voice communicationbetween patients and staff in hospitals and nursing homes.
In this ManualThis System Planning manual presents information about systemcomponents, wiring, and programming, organized by typical facility locationand order of installation, as follows:
• Equipment or utility closet: provides a list of equipment that istypically installed in standard 19" racks or cabinets for the purposes ofcorridor, patient room, and staff area planning: Gateways, PowerSupplies and interfaces. Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switches, alsoinstalled in utility closets, will be discussed as part of the networkingprocess
• Hallways (corridor): provides information on corridor Room,Console and Zone Controllers, and corridor lights
• Patient rooms and staff areas: provides information on audio andperipheral (non-audio) stations; call types and indicators; a list ofequipment in bathrooms and showers, and associated or specialtyequipment installed elsewhere in a facility (such as staff areas)
• Nurse station and other Console Controller devices: provides adescription of the primary nurse call device, the Nurse Console, andinformation about the Staff Duty, Nurse and Workflow Terminals inpatient rooms and staff areas
• Wiring, device installation and safety: provides cable types,lengths and distances; station dimensions and recommendedbackboxes; and important safety information necessary to plansystem installation
• Networking, programming and software integrations: provides anoverview of the Jeron IP Networking with the Isolated 8 Port EthernetSwitch, requisite programming, and a list of applications that may beintegrated to the 790 nurse call system and the required equipment
CapabilitiesThe Provider 790 system offers the following capabilities:
• Eight simultaneous full-duplex local digital audio paths per Gateway• Scalable system that supports over 3,900 rooms (Controllers)• Cat-5/5e/6 cable for audio stations for simplified wiring and service.
Peripheral stations use single pair wires • Configurable buttons and button labels on audio and peripheral
stations• Color touchscreen Nurse Console and four tactile buttons for the
most common features/navigation• Flexible programming using a PC
Jeron IP Network & Facility LANThe backbone of the Provider system is the Jeron IP Network. The networkednurse call architecture supports flexible room coverage and call routingthroughout the entire facility. Optional integrations provide added functionalityto staff members, including EIS report generation or real-time display ofsystem call activity on client PCs on the facility LAN. The system can alsointerface with popular third-party devices and equipment, including:
• Admission-Discharge-Transfer (ADT) application to map HL7 fields toProvider 790 for display on consoles or terminals
• RTLS badges for automatic registration of staff in and out of rooms• Wireless SIP handsets for direct call routing of patient calls to
assigned caregiver• Pocket pagers for staff member notification of patient calls
Refer to See “Optional Software Integrations” on page 8-12 for a complete listof available applications.
The Provider system architecture scheme begins at the equipment closet.Gateways and Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switches are typically located near aline power source, either mounted on standard 19” racks or enclosed in Jeronwall cabinets. The Gateway distributes power, data, and digital audio tocorridor controllers and their stations. Both products are powered by the JeronPower Supply with Battery Backup, similarly mounted. Gateways andSwitches are housed in aluminum enclosures.
Extending from the equipment closet out to facility patient and staff areas,components are organized along four local buses. These buses ensurestandardized cabling, minimal wiring, and life safety operation with thecontinuous supervision of all devices. The corridor bus connects the Gatewayto all Room/Console/Zone Controllers in a continuous run with Cat 6 cable.Stations in a room connect in series to a Room Controller located above theentrance to a room in the hallway.
Controllers drive and supervise the stations connected to them and provideregulated power and data (and audio to audio stations). When a controller isequipped with corridor lights, the lights provide visual call signals for callsplaced from the stations in the room connected to it.
Audio stations connect via Cat 5/5e/6 cable. Peripheral stations connect inseries to a Room Controller via 22 AWG wire pair.
Zone Controllers with dome lights are located in those portions of a corridorwhere room dome lights may not be visible to the nurse station.
A Nurse Console, Staff Duty Terminal, Workflow Terminal, or Nurse Terminalconnects to a Console Controller and serve as main hubs for nurse callactivity management for attendants.
Jeron Nurse Call BusesThe Provider system uses four local buses:
J Bus
• CAT 6 Cable (23 AWG)• Corridor runs – connects Gateway to: Room, Console and Zone
Controllers• Refer to “Hallway J Bus Devices” on page 3-1
R Bus
• CAT 5 or better Cable• Connects all audio stations with Room Controllers• Refer to “Audio R Bus Stations” on page 4-3
P Bus
• Single 22 AWG unshielded, twisted pair (UTP)• Connects all non-audio (peripheral) stations with Room Controllers• Refer to “Peripheral P Bus Stations” on page 4-17
M Bus
• CAT 6 or better Cable• Connects a Nurse Console or Staff Duty, Workflow, or Nurse
Terminal to a Console Controller • Refer to “Call Center M Bus Stations” on page 5-1
System CapacityRefer to the information below to determine the number of Gateways andNurse Call Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switches required.
Each Gateway is assigned a unique IP address and location name prior toconnection. IP addresses must start with x.x.x.1 for the first Gateway and becontinuously sequential for all subsequent Gateways.
More than one Gateway in a system require a Nurse Call Isolated 8 PortEthernet Switch.
Single Gateway J BusA combination of up to 31 Controllers (Room, Console, Zone) per Gateway isallowed.
Maximum distance between Gateway to last controller: 700 ft.
Supports up to eight (8) simultaneous full duplex audio paths.
Maximum GatewaysA maximum of 127 Gateways are supported by the system for a combinationof over 3900 controllers.
Single Nurse Call Isolated 8 Port Ethernet SwitchA maximum of eight (8) Gateways connect to one (1) Isolated Switch for atotal of 248 rooms.
Multiple Nurse Call Isolated 8 Port Ethernet SwitchOne system can accept a maximum of 16 Isolated Switches for Gateways,with an additional three (3) for Switch-to-Switch use. Up to eight (8) Switchesare permitted between any two (2) Gateways.
Room ControllersCombined total of 15 R Bus and P Bus stations allowed on one (1) RoomController.
Console (Master) Controller One Nurse Console, Staff Duty Terminal, Workflow Terminal or NurseTerminal station allowed per controller.
Note: Console Controllers supporting Nurse Consoles, Staff Duty Terminalsor Nurse Terminals should be limited to four (4) per Gateway when possible toensure non-blocking audio connections.
Power Supply
One Power Supply per Gateway at a minimum. Add one per each Switch thatis NOT located next to a Gateway. One additional Power Supply is necessaryto support between three (3) and eight (8) supplemental Console Controllerson a single Gateway; two (2) additional Power Supplies needed for nine (9) to15 supplemental Console Controllers on a single Gateway.
System TypesAudio Visual
Typically installed in long term care facilities and hospitals, the audio-visualsystem provides full duplex two-way voice communication between patientand staff. The calling station, equipped with a microphone and speaker,allows the patient to place a call to the Nurse Console and communicate withthe nurse via a pillow speaker. Depending on call type, the call may becanceled at the console or at the originating station.
Audio Visual with IntegrationsTypically installed in hospitals, the audio-visual system with integrationsintegrates the Jeron system with Jeron applications and third-partyequipment, such as: client PCs to mirror nurse call activity on the system;wireless handsets and pocket pagers to be able to send calls directly to thedevices carried by staff; Executive Information System to create nurse callactivity reports; ADT integration to interface the Jeron nurse call system withthe facility’s Admissions, Discharge and Transfer (ADT) HL7-compliantapplication to automatically transmit relevant patient information; and IRLocator to locate staff members easily.
Tone VisualTypically installed in assisted living facilities, in the tone visual system calldevices generate tones, light dome/zone lights in hallways and annunciate atthe nurse console. No voice communication is established between patientand staff. Calls are canceled at the station that originated the call.
Getting StartedWhile standard practices are established for both the physical locations andelectrical connections of the system components, compliance with any localor state regulations that may apply to that specific application is also required.
System layouts and installation procedures should be completed anddiscussed with the customer well in advance of the arrival of the equipment atthe site. Failure to do so may result in system installation delays.
Follow the steps below when conducting system planning:
• Understand 790 cable requirements/limits and equipment featurecapabilities as discussed herein
• Obtain specifications, architectural/electrical drawings and/or conductwalk-thru of jobsite.
• Compile a room-by-room material list that groups required equipmentby nursing unit and floor
• Make a single sketch showing each corridor J Bus cable run withRoom, Console, and Zone Controller locations and identity. Expandthis drawing with R Bus and P Bus stations for each room, accordingto specifications provided in this manual. Refer to Figure 1.2 for anexample
The equipment closet houses, at a minimum, the Gateway, Power Supply andSwitch (all shown). The Jeron Model 7992/93 Nurse Call Gateway is used asthe local control for data and audio, and the configuration hub for up to 31 ofany combination of Room, Console or Zone Controllers; 1) up to eight (8)Console Controllers that support a Nurse Console/Staff Duty Terminal/NurseTerminal, or 2) up to 14 Controllers with Workflow Terminals plus oneController with Nurse Console, may be connected to a single Gateway.Gateways must be programmed with a unique IP address and location nameprior to wiring on the J Bus. IP addresses must start with x.x.x.1 for the firstGateway and be continuously sequential for all subsequent Gateways. Referto Installation & Programming Manual for instruction.
If a system requires more than one Gateway, an Isolated 8 Port EthernetSwitch is used to route Ethernet data between Gateways, integrating theminto the entire distributed Nurse Call Network. Refer to the networking chapterlater in System Planning for information about setting up the Jeron IPNetwork.
Jeron Model 7995 Power Supply with Battery Backup is used to provide localpower to the Gateway, corridor Controllers, patient stations, Nurse Consoles,and any Jeron Switches.
If a system requires multiple power supplies for one Gateway on a single J-Bus run, the diagnostic output ports from up to three power supplies willconnect to Model 9776 Gateway Diagnostic Splitter to create a single outputport for connection to the Gateway. A Model 9777 power splitter is used todistribute power.
This chapter provides detailed information about these components, whichare typically located in utility rooms, and an explanation of powerrequirements.
GatewaysModel 7992/93 Nurse Call Gateway
Each Gateway is an IP device that acts as the central transition point, or“gateway”, between the Jeron IP network and the proprietary RS-485 corridornetwork with attached patient stations or nurse consoles.
Up to 31 Room/Console/Zone Controllers connect on the J Bus on acontinuous run to a Gateway via 9779 splitters and a Cat-6 cable (23 AWG).Maximum distance is 700 ft. The Gateway connects corridor controllers andstations to the Jeron IP Network via industry standard Cat-6/5e cable withRJ45 connectors.
During the hardware installation process, the Gateway automatically learnsand saves, in non-volatile memory, the model and identity of each stationattached to the corridor network. The 7993 Gateway acquires an IP addressfrom the 7990 Administration Program Software on the PC (refer tonetworking chapter), which then downloads and configure the data stored inthe Gateway to associate it with hospital nursing units.
The Gateway continuously supervises all local devices (Nurse Consoles, StaffDuty or Nurse Terminals, zone lights, Room Controllers, patient stations,pullcord stations, etc.) to ensure every component of the system isoperational. If a local device fails, an alert is sent to designated NurseConsole(s), terminal(s), and optionally, to pocket pager(s) carried by supportstaff.
A Gateway would be utilized on a single floor and may cover all or some ofthe rooms in a certain unit (floor). One Gateway may be sufficient for multipleunits on a floor if the units do not exceed the 31 room limit. A unit may requiremore than one Gateway if the unit exceeds the number of rooms supported bya Gateway (max 31) or the length of the J Bus exceeds 700 feet.
Gateways should be located in a secure area and are mounted in a standard19” equipment rack using a Jeron Model 9840 adaptor or a 7988/89 wallcabinet. If connected to a Nurse Call Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switch,maximum distance from Gateway to switch should not exceed 328 ft. (100 m).Refer to page 7-1.

The patient/staff audio (R Bus) and peripheral non-audio (P Bus) stations onthe Provider 790 Nurse Call System provide the primary means of alertingstaff of a call from a room station. The audio stations also provide full duplexcommunication between patients/staff members and staff at the NurseConsole.
Patient/staff and peripheral stations in a room connect to a Room Controller.The system supports up to 3,937 rooms, with a maximum 15 combined audio(R Bus) and peripheral (P Bus) stations per Controller. All stations within aroom share the same room name (ID) via their connected Room Controller. Inrooms with multiple patient beds, beds are distinguished by bed designators.
Device options include single bed patient stations that support one bed anddual patient stations that support two beds for two-way voice communicationbetween patient and staff at the Nurse Console. A number of peripheralstations may be used by staff in a patient room, such as staff emergency, staffpresence and code. A bathroom attached to a patient room or a facilitybathroom may include audio or peripheral bath stations or peripheral showerstations. A Workflow Terminal (M Bus) that helps manage patient flowefficiently may be installed in a patient room and requires a connection to aConsole Controller. Refer to “Call Center M Bus Stations” on page 5-1 forconsole and terminal specifications.
Staff area options include duty, staff/duty and staff stations with audio. A StaffDuty or Nurse Terminal (M Bus) may be used to annunciate calls and provideaudio communication in areas where staff congregate, such as a utility room,break room, or lounge. Each terminal connects to a Console Controller.
All patient and peripheral stations are preprogrammed with default callpriorities. However, station inputs can be reprogrammed to place any call

priority. In addition, button labels are customizable. For example, if a roomrequires a station for staff presence in addition to staff emergency, a Model7940 Procedure, Presence and Bed Management Station may be used. Thestation is equipped with four preprogrammed buttons that can bereprogrammed for any call type/staff registration. All four of the button labelsare replaceable. Four patient station models are equipped with twoprogrammable buttons and labels for any call type. For a list of stations withcustomizable buttons, refer to page 4-16.
Station enclosures are flame retardant UL 945VA PC/ABS blend polymericmaterial.
Audio R Bus StationsMost audio R Bus stations have audio capability and enable full-duplex twoway voice communication between patient/staff and staff members at theNurse Console.
Each input on a station comes with a default call-in priority setting that can bechanged in programming. Stations are equipped with a cancel button that, inaddition to canceling calls placed from the stations themselves, areconfigurable to selectively cancel any level of call-in on other stations withinthe same room.
The stations described below are categorized according to their typicallocation in the facility. However, flexibility in programming station buttons withdifferent call priorities allows stations to be used for other purposes based onthe facility’s needs.
Regardless of the facility location selected, caution must be taken whenmounting full duplex audio stations. Avoid blocking speaker or microphoneapertures on the front of audio station enclosures. Blocking or masking eitherspeaker or microphone may interfere with the full duplex audio operation andcause unwanted attenuation, echo, or feedback locally as well as remotely onmasters and handsets.
The stations connect in series to a Room Controller on the R Bus port via Cat-5 or better cable. The stations share the controller’s room name (ID),assigned in programming.
Patient Room Audio StationsPatient stations enable patients to place calls to the Nurse Console forassistance. Six patient stations models are available for different room types.When a call is answered, full-duplex two way voice communication is enabledeither through a pillow speaker (when using muting patient station Models7923 or 7924) or through the wall speaker and panel mic (non-muting Models7920, 7922, 7925, 7926).
Each patient room may have a single patient station that supports one bed, adual patient station that supports two beds, or a combination of both. Patientsplace calls by pressing a button on the pillow speaker or callcord plugged intothe station (DIN jacks). The 1/4 inch jacks (Models 7920-7924) can connect tocallcords or auxiliary input devices for third party medical equipment.
Calls can also be placed from siderail feature beds connected to patientstations (Models 7920-7924) using the Model 9805 receptacle kit for eachbed. Models 7923 and 7924 allow siderail bed audio communicationcapability, while non-muting patient stations 7920, 7922, 7925, and 7926allow siderail feature bed exit alarm functionality only.
Models 7920-7924 are equipped with two programmable call buttons for staffuse for placing high priority calls. The buttons are preconfigured forEmergency and Code but can be configured and relabeled during setup.Patient stations are equipped with TV connections. Television must be ULhospital grade, digital control. Only 7923 and 7924 mute TV audio duringnurse call audio connection. Individual TV connections per bed are availableon the 7921, 7924, and 7926.
Exercise caution when planning audio station location and mounting to ensure quality of full duplex audio will be preserved.

M Bus devices include the Nurse Console, Workflow Terminal, Staff DutyTerminal, and Nurse Terminal. Each device connects to a Console Controller(dome or domeless) on the M Bus port.
Nurse Consoles are located at nurse stations and are used as the primary callcenter in the facility. The Nurse Console annunciates calls from patient andstaff stations, enable the staff to answer the calls and communicate withpatient or staff, place calls, set service requests, page staff, and view stafflocation. The touchscreen Nurse Terminal provides all the functionality of theNurse Console but without the handset. Allows for bi-directional nonprivateaudio communication via speaker.
In addition to offering full Nurse Console functionality, a Workflow Terminal (MBus) also helps manage workflow, rounding and service requests, placescalls, and offers intercom communication options in a patient room.
Staff area options include duty, staff/duty and staff stations with audio. A StaffDuty Terminal may be used to annunciate calls and provide audiocommunication in areas where staff congregate, such as a utility room, breakroom, or lounge. The Staff Duty Terminal displays large graphic call priorityindicators that show active calls within the coverage area of the Staff DutyTerminal grouped by Routine, Urgent, Emergency, and Code.
Model 7965 Color Touchscreen Nurse ConsoleThe touchscreen Nurse Consoles are used as the primary interface amongusers of the system and provide full duplex two-way voice communicationwith the use of a handset between staff and patients or staff members. Theconsoles are used to place, receive, display, and answer calls from patientsand staff and are typically located in areas where staff congregate and needto communicate with patients and fellow staff members, such as nursestations, work stations, centralized communication centers, or any area wherestaff receive calls. A 5.7” touch-sensitive flat panel screen displays calls in thesystem in the order of call priority.
The attendant at the Nurse Console has the following options, among others:
• Answer calls from patient/staff or originate calls to stations
• Page, monitor, locate and dispatch staff/aides
• Set service requirements, rounding, reminders
• Review service needs, bed privacy/priority status
• Change bed status
• Transfer control from other consoles
• Adjust talk/listen volume settings for each individual patient/staffintercom station
Nurse Console functions include setting/reviewing up to four levels of servicerequirements, day/night tones, tone mute with regeneration, staff locating byone of up to three levels or optionally by staff name, swing rooms, unittransfer, console to console intercom, and audio paging. Call coverage andavailable features are programmed on an individual console basis allowingeach console to be customized for its specific purpose and location.
The Nurse Console display offers three difference screen modes: Standard,“Zoom Out” and “Zoom In”. In Standard view mode, up to four calls may bedisplayed simultaneously. In “Zoom Out” mode, up to 30 calls may bedisplayed simultaneously. In the “Zoom In” mode, up to two calls may bedisplay simultaneously and are readily visible from several feet away. If morecalls are queued at the Nurse Console than can be displayed, the highestpriority and/or longest waiting calls will display first with the ability to scroll toview the additional calls. Over 1,000 unique call priorities are available on thesystem with the ability to customize each call priority’s call-in tone or voiceprompt. Calls may be answered using the handset for semi-private duplex-two way voice communication or via the panel speaker for no privacy.

Installation and WiringThe Provider 790 system’s wiring strategy allows stations of the same type ina room to connect in series to a Room Controller. Audio stations connect viaCat 5/5e/6 cable. Peripheral stations connect in series to a Room Controllervia single 22 AWG UTP cable.
Observe the following precautions and specifications when planning systeminstallation.
Equipment Protection PrecautionThe Provider 790 Nurse Call System equipment contains low powermicroprocessor circuits which are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).Always observe the following precautions:
1. Do not remove bus stations from their static protective bags until they areready for installation. You should be grounded using an ESD wrist strapwhen handling these units. Use only Jeron furnished mounting hardware.
2. Observe the same precautions whenever a Nurse Console is opened forinspection or maintenance.
To avoid static charge:
1. Make sure callcords and patient stations are not close to or touching themetal bed frame or attendant when sheets are changed, as high levels ofESD are produced from this act.
2. Install the system in a continuous metallic conduit and backbox. Suchsystems are more resistant to failure due to static discharge or electricaldisturbance in general.
3. Attach the green ground wire clip on patient stations to the groundedbackbox.
Installation Precautions for Patient and Staff Safety Patient and staff safety depends on the following installation precautions:
• All installer-provided lighting or entertainment control relays (operatedvia pillow speakers) must have proper surge protection added to thecoils to damp the voltage transients (back EMF) created by the relaycoils.
• The system wiring must be isolated from earth grounds and fromother AC powered devices in order to protect patients and staff fromground faults and leakage currents. Some therapies may greatlyincrease patient risk from ground faults. Keep all system conductorsand grounds separate from earth grounds and carefully test to ensurethat ancillary equipment does not contribute leakage current to thesystem.
Pillow Speakers are not approved for use in oxygen enriched environmentsas defined by UL 1069. Where oxygen use or electrical susceptibility (seeabove) mandates non-electrical patient control devices, use the callcords.
Note: Only the Model 7958 Pullcord/Pushbutton Shower Station is water-resistant with wall gasket kit.
Planning System Wiring1. Obtain floor plans or blueprints to verify the locations of each station type.
If they are not documented on the floor plans, conduct a site survey todetermine the final locations.
2. Prepare a complete equipment list from architectural plans andspecifications. Additional surveys may be required to develop sufficientinformation to plan an effective installation, i.e. wire runs, location of theGateways, room numbering systems, coverage areas, zone and dutystation memberships, etc.
All stations are mounted in backboxes. The table on page 8-1 lists therecommended backbox types and covers for each station. Use only UL Listedbackboxes.
Wiring Precautions
• Wire all systems in accordance with local building codes, using thewiring diagrams in the Provider 790 Installation Manual.
• Use the exact wire type specified; use of any other kind may degradeor disable system performance.
• Do not run system wiring in common conduit or in close proximity (12inches minimum) with wiring for other systems (AC power distribution,fire alarm, entertainment or P.A. systems, etc.). Alternatively, use asolid divider in the cable tray to isolate the system wires.
• Verify that all wiring is free of shorts and earth grounds.
• All field wiring, power, data and audio is isolated from earth ground,chassis ground, and building ground.

System Planning Network Overview
Network OverviewAfter installation of facility patient and staff devices, the Jeron headenddevices are connected, then networked to the facility LAN via a Bridge PC toenable the programming of the 790 system and addition of optional systemintegrations.
Provider 790 headend devices consist of the Gateways (Model 7993/2), Iso-lated 8 Port Ethernet Switches (Model 7991 or Model 7991-FX with FiberUplink option), and necessary Power Supplies (Model 7995). The compo-nents are designed for rack mounting on a standard 19" rack or wall mountingon a Jeron wall cabinet.
Each Model 7993/2 Gateway connects to the Jeron Power Supply with Bat-tery Backup (Model 7995). A supplemental power wire or an additional Model7995 Power Supply may be required.
Each Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switch can accept connections of up to eightGateways. For more than eight Gateways in a system, multiple switches willbe used. Multiple switches in a system interconnect via their Uplink Port (port9). The main Isolated Switch also connects to the facility LAN via a Bridge PCrunning a model 7984 Bridge application.
Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switch (with Fiber Uplink Option)Model 7991
Model 7991-FXThe Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switch and Switch with Fiber Uplink are used tointerconnect local Nurse Call Gateways and integrate them into the entiredistributed Nurse Call Network. Utilizing industry standard network wiring,cabling, and connectors, multiple interconnected Ethernet Switches cansupport a nurse call network of up to 127 Nurse Call Gateways operating as asingle distributed system. Should the nurse call network connection be brokenat any point, the downstream Ethernet Switches and Nurse Call Gateways willcontinue to operate as a sub-system.
Up to eight Gateways can connect to one Isolated 8 Port Ethernet Switch.Distance between Gateway and 7991 switch should not exceed 328 ft.(100m). Up to 16 Switches for Gateway connections, plus an additional threeSwitches for Switch-to-Switch connections, are permitted on a single 790system.

The Jeron Model 7984 Bridge Software Application is used with the Provider790 Nurse Call System to connect the nurse call to the facility's LAN and inturn other optional Provider 790 software applications residing on the LAN.The 7984 Bridge is linked to the Provider 790 Nurse Call System through theisolated port on the UL1069 Listed Model 7991 Ethernet Switch.
The PC running the 7984 Bridge Software must be equipped with two NICs(Network Interface Cards). The Bridge software acts as a data firewallisolating each operating Gateway (the Jeron IP Network) connected toNetwork Interface Card #1 on the Bridge PC and any other device such asclient PCs on the Hospital LAN connected to Network Interface #2. It blocksall other LAN activity from the nurse call system.
Using TCP/IP, the 7984 software provides a secure data connection to theProvider 790 software applications on the LAN. The 7984 software also readsthe LAN NTP (Network Time Protocol) and relays this time to the Provider 790Nurse Call System so that both the nurse call and facility LAN share the sametime base. Through 7984, technicians on any PC on the facility's LAN runningthe Provider 790 7990 Administration Software have remote access to theentire nurse call system for programming, firmware updates, andtroubleshooting.
Model 7990 Administration SoftwareThe Jeron Model 7990 Administration and Programming Software is used toprogram and administer the Provider 790 Nurse Call System through the7984 Bridge Software and associated Bridge PC. The 7990 software allows atechnician to program and manage all system attributes including roomnumbers, call priorities, call tones, dome light indications, swing rooms, andcoverage of duty stations, zone lights, Workflow/Staff Duty/Nurse Terminals,and Nurse Consoles. With 7990, the Provider 790 system may be configured,downloaded (for archiving), restored, and edited without affecting the localoperation of the nurse call system.
The 7990 software also supports firmware updates for all nurse call hardwaredevices including Gateways, Controllers, Nurse Consoles, and Terminals.
Gateways must be programmed with a unique IP address and location nameprior to wiring on the J Bus. Refer to Installation & Programming Manual forinstruction.
Programming System Configuration
Below is an overview of the programming process with 7990 AdministrationSoftware. Refer to the Provider 790 Installation & Programming Manual fordetails:
• Stations, terminals and consoles are wired to a Controller and sharethe Controllers’ room name (ID). The Controller comes with a defaultID that can be changed in programming to reflect the location of thedevices/room. After Controllers have been identified and assigned alocation-specific name, a visual diagram of the facility is created. The
diagram consists of buildings, floors, units and coverage areas. Thereshould be a minimum one coverage area per unit.
• Floors and Units: A Gateway would be utilized on a single floor, andmay cover all or some of the rooms on a certain floor. A unit mayrequire more than one Gateway if the unit exceeds the number ofsupported rooms (max 31). In that case, multiple Gateways will beused on the floor. One Gateway may be sufficient for multiple units ona floor if the units are small and do not exceed the 31 room limit or the700 foot J Bus limit.
• Coverage Areas: Coverage area(s) include rooms within a unit thatare covered by a specific Nurse Console. A unit may contain onecoverage area (i.e., all rooms assigned to a Nurse Console) ormultiple coverage areas (where rooms are assigned to multiple NurseConsoles). Typically, rooms in a unit are physically located in thesame part of the facility, (i.e., the same floor or wing). Each room isassigned to a coverage area by adding stations and Consoles/Terminals to the facility diagram in 7990. This determines the rooms/areas that report to and annunciate calls to a particular NurseConsole. Refer to Figure 8.7.
• Duty Areas: Room stations, Model 7917 Visual Duty, and Model7927 Staff/Duty are assigned to duty areas. Model 7967-S Staff DutyTerminals are programmed to show active calls within its assignedcoverage area, with calls grouped by Routine, Urgent, Emergency,and Code. Duty stations respond simultaneously and identically tocalls from room stations programmed to report to the duty area.
• Zone Areas: Room stations and Zone Lights are assigned to zoneareas. Zone Lights respond simultaneously and identically to callsfrom room stations programmed to report to the zone area.
Note: All rooms report to all Nurse Consoles by default. The assignment to coverageareas is done in programming.
Optional Software IntegrationsThe Model 7984 Bridge PC Application communicates with all installed Jeronseries 79xx optional integrations. For any optional integration to function withthe 790 system hardware, the installation PC must be equipped at all timeswith a Jeron factory furnished hardware protection key.The optional integrations available in Provider 790 are as follows:

Model 7970 Automatic Voice Prompt SoftwareProvides verbal annunciation of select Provider 790 Nurse Call System callevents over a facility's overhead paging system. Pages are triggered by nursecalls placed or cancelled from patient rooms or staff stations. Voice promptsconsist of phrases that include instructional content as well as call type androom location information. Voice prompts can be customized on-site to meetfacility requirements for privacy and content. For example: A code call in room206 annunciates "Stat condition in second floor physical therapy." Uponcancellation: "Medical condition in physical therapy has been cancelled."7970 requires Model 9815-1 single channel USB Zone Control, or 9815-2eight channel USB Zone Control with optional 9815-3 USB Mute Contact.
This integration requires Microsoft SQL Server. Refer to ‘Minimum PC Requirements” on page 8-6 for more information.
Model 7977 ADT Patient Information Integration SoftwareThe Jeron Model 7977 ADT Patient Information Integration Software is usedwith the Provider 790 Nurse Call System to integrate with the facility's ADTsystem for automated update of patient information displayed at nurseconsoles/terminals, PC consoles, and staff duty terminals.
When patient information and assigned bed information are updated on theADT system, the 7977 listens for updates over the HL7 protocol standard andautomatically sends this information to the Provider 790 Nurse Call System todisplay the information when a patient places a call. The patient information isdisplayed at Jeron model 7965 Nurse Console, 7967 Staff Duty/NurseTerminal and 7985 PC Console Application.
When the integration software is configured, the installer can determine whichADT information fields are mapped to the nurse call system including: patientname, doctor, and up to several fields of patient information. Alternately,during configuration, key ADT information fields may be blocked from beingdisplayed on the nurse call system. To ensure compliance with HIPAA patientconfidentiality requirements, the patient information is stored securely withinthe nurse call system and is only displayed at Nurse Consoles, PC Consoles,and Staff Duty or Nurse Terminals within staff areas.
Model 7978SIP SIP Phone Integration SoftwareThe Jeron Model 7978SIP SIP Phone Integration Software is used with theProvider 790 Nurse Call System to route patient calls on the nurse call LAN.Through the intermediary Brekeke SIP Server, the SIP phone call is routed tothe facility’s SIP Telephony Call Server and in turn over the facility’s Voiceover Wireless LAN to the SIP end device carried by the assigned caregiver.
The 7978SIP routes calls based on the patient-to-staff and staff-to-deviceassignments programmed into the Jeron Model 7980 Assignment Software.
From their SIP wireless phones, caregivers can also call into any staffintercom or patient intercom station on the Provider 790 nurse call system.
Each J Bus with patient intercom stations has eight simultaneous full duplex audio circuits which provides non-blocking service for multiple SIP phones calling to the same J Bus.
Model 7980 Staff Assignment & Messaging SoftwareThe Jeron Model 7980 Staff Assignment and Messaging Software is used tomanage mobile locating and notification devices for the Provider 790 NurseCall System. Through this software, system administrators, technicians, andcharge nurses manage all wireless devices, staff member attributes, staff todevice assignments, staff to patient assignments, and staff to teamassignments. The software itself sends messages over TAP protocol directlyto paging encoders or wireless phone middleware. In addition to the 7980software, integration for wireless phone communication and real time locatingtags requires integration software and/or hardware from Jeron.
For the end-user, access to the software is .NET browser-based allowingusers to sign on from any PC on the LAN. Based on their account security,users can do the following:
• Configure system wide settings including name format, call response timers, pager cancellation messages
• Add/edit mobile locating and notification devices including wireless phones, pocket pagers, and real time locating tags
• Manage signon access levels and access to functions and nursing units
• Create and assign staff to facility-wide crash teams, such as code crash teams, and local emergency all call teams
• Manage the association of staff and devices to one, several, or all units within the facility
• For each of up to three shifts per unit per day, assign from one to three team members to each patient room/bed for notification plus a unit level backup
• Configure notification to technician(s) phone/pager for instant alerting of any component failures
This integration requires Microsoft SQL Server. Refer to ‘Minimum PC Requirements” on page 8-6 for more information.
Model 7981 RTLS Integration Software The Jeron Model 7981 RTLS (Real Time Locating System) IntegrationSoftware is used with the Provider 790 Nurse Call System to integrate withthe facility's RTLS server for automated staff locating. The 7981 provides asingle point of connection between the RTLS server and the Provider 790system and supports the most popular locating systems on the market.
The RTLS automated staff location integration provides the followingfunctionality on the nurse call system:
• Automatic registration of staff in and out of patient rooms
• Dome light indication of staff present in each room (green, orange, or yellow)
• Automatic cancellation of outstanding service requirements by staff with locating tags walking into the patient room
• Locate staff by level and name from any Nurse Console/Terminal or Staff Duty Terminal with one-touch to communicate with staff via the closest intercom station
The 7981 is used in conjunction with the Jeron Model 7980 Staff AssignmentSoftware which associates the locating tag with a specific staff member andtheir registration level (green, orange, or yellow). If the staff tag is equippedwith a call button, when the button is pressed while in a patient room it willplace a predetermined call priority level from that room.
Model 7983 EIS Log ReportThe Jeron Model 7983 Executive Information System (EIS) Software Packageis used with the Provider 790 Nurse Call System for archiving and analysisreports of patient call and staff response activity. All nurse call activity data,including patient and staff calls, staff registration, voice response time, staffresponse time, and system supervision messages are logged in a SQLdatabase.
From any PC on the facility's LAN, through the browser interface, staff cansign in and generate standard and customized reports for a single unit, acombination of units, or the entire facility. The staff member's signonprivileges determine which unit(s) and types of reports they can generate.Reports are produced in a standard PDF format allowing for easy printing.Email feature allows for the scheduling and automatic delivery of futurereports.
This integration requires Microsoft SQL Server. Refer to ‘Minimum PCRequirements” on page 8-6 for more information.
Model 7985 PC Console SoftwareModel 7986 Map Configuration Software
Accessible via any PC on the facility's LAN, the Jeron Model 7985 PCConsole Software is used with the Provider 790 Nurse Call System for a real-time view of nurse call activity and to initiate/review staff roundings. The clientsoftware component of the 7985 application resides on non-dedicatedWindows® computers and communicates via TCP/IP to the server componentto ensure only authorized staff have access to nurse call activity. Multipleusers can simultaneously run local 7985 software on their own PCs; each withtheir own view of nurse call activity. The architecture of the 7985 software andthe Provider 790 Nurse Call System precludes any activity on the LAN fromadversely affecting the life safety operation of the Provider 790 Nurse CallSystem.
The software supports three views: List, Whiteboard, and Map.
List view displays active events including patient and staff calls, overtimeservice requests, expired roundings and self-reminders, and active work flowevents. The nurse call activity displayed in list view can be independent or
Note: When operating in Associated Mode, each Model 7965 Nurse Console can only be associated with a single Model 7985 PC Console client PC.
associated with the operation of a specific Model 7965 Nurse Console. In theindependent display mode, the software can be customized by coverage area(one unit, several units, or the entire facility), by call priorities to display (one,several, or all), to display service requirements or not, to display work flowevents (one, several, or all), to display staff locations or not, and to displaystaff roundings or not. When associated with a nurse console, the softwarewill show all call activity based on the console's coverage.
Whiteboard view lists all rooms/beds and associated information (patientinformation and assigned staff), active call events, staff presence, roundings,self-reminders, Stryker® iBed Awareness status, and/or workflow events forthe selected nursing unit. The display of patient information also requires theaddition of the Jeron 7977 ADT Patient Information Integration Software.
Map view displays events and activity associated with each room (includingactive calls) on a graphical floor layout for the selected nursing unit. For eachunit, the map view supports the display of up to 192 rooms on up to four viewstotal. The map view automatically switches to the map with the highest priorityactive call. Map view requires optional 7986 Map Configuration Software.
The 7985 also allows nurse managers from any networked PC to set andreview existing roundings or one time reminders on a per patient bed basis.From any networked PC, when used in conjunction with the required Jeron7980 Staff Assignment & Messaging Software, the 7985 also allowsadministrators and staff to send text message to the wireless phone or pagercarried by specific staff members or to send group messages to caregiver'sphones and/or pagers.
Model 6894 Integration Data Service Achieves platform inter-operability between Provider 680 and Provider 790systems for improved communication and analysis of nurse call activity in asingle facility. An integrated communication system gives staff and caregiversgreater flexibility to observe, respond to, and analyze all system activity fromany PC on the facility LAN.
The Integration Data Service transmits configuration and call information fromProvider 680 systems directly to the 7984 Bridge PC application. Informationis disseminated directly from the Bridge application to the following systemintegrations:
• Model 7970 Automatic Voice Prompt Software for verbalannunciation of nurse call events on facility’s overhead pagingsystem
• Model 7980 Staff Assignment & Messaging Software for appropriatecall routing to caregiver device
• Model 7983 Executive Information System (EIS) Software forarchiving and analysis reports of call activity
• Model 7985 PC Console for a real-time view of nurse call activity
The 6894 service tool centralizes nurse call operation by combining attributesof both Provider platforms. System configurations are integrated byassociating 680 controllers and coverage areas to new units in the 790system (if present), and associating 680 call types with 790 equivalents. Thetool then produces a single architectural diagram configuration file used totransmit global configuration via Model 7990 Administration Software. All
