a flashing red light when there are both an emergency call and a code call
at the same time.
(2) For annunciator stations that display calls in a list, the
displayed list of calls shall be in priority order, with the highest
priority calls at the top of the displayed list. Existing lower priority
calls shall be displaced in the displayed list by the occurrence of a
higher priority call. For example, if a emergency call is first in the
list and a code call occurs, the code call shall jump ahead of the
emergency call in the displayed list.
(3) When more then one call is being processed at the same time
through the radio page server, the highest priority call type shall take
precedence and be transmitted ahead of lower priority calls.
1.4.3.5
Call Routing
Call routing throughout the system shall be software programmable to
provide the selectable call routing defined below.
a.
Call Routing - Dome Lights
All call types from any call station within a patient care room or cubicle
shall annunciate on the dome light(s) located outside the entry into the
room or cubicle. Calls from patient toilet/shower or procedure room
entered from another room shall annunciate on the dome light outside the
entry to both rooms.
b.
Call Routing - Zone Lights
(1) Within a patient care area, the routing of any call type from any
call station to each zone light shall be programmable to allow annunciation
of calls on a zone light from any combination of call stations. Each zone
light shall be programmed to present a pattern of illuminated zone lights
that the caregiver can follow from any corridor in the patient care area to
get to the corridor where a call has been initiated from a patient care
room along the corridor.
(2) Outside entries to patient care areas that are equipped with code
blue stations, zone lights are provided to direct code response teams into
the patient care area. These zone lights shall be programmed to only
indicate code calls. Once the code response team is inside the patient
care area, they will then follow the code call indications on the zone
lights within the area.
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Prepare and add Zone Light Activation
Matrices as noted below. Include the Matrices as
part of Schedules as indicated at the end of this
Section.
**************************************************************************
(3) The Zone Light Activation Matrices in 3.8.11 lists the
identification (ID) number of all zone lights indicated on the
telecommunications plans, and relates these to the patient care rooms where
calls are originated that activate the zone lights.
