RTLS & Wander Management
Real-time location tracking for patients with cognitive impairments in memory care, assisted living, and behavioral health settings — instant alerts when a patient approaches a restricted exit, with full integration into nurse call and EMR systems.
RTLS & Wander Management
Wander management is a patient safety imperative for memory care, assisted living, and behavioral health environments. Nexus deploys RTLS systems that track patient location in real time, automatically alerting staff the moment a patient approaches a monitored door or restricted area — preventing unauthorized exits before they happen.
Real-Time Patient Location
Continuous location tracking of tagged patients throughout your facility, displayed on a live floor plan updated in real time.
Exit Alert System
Instant alerts when a tagged patient approaches a monitored exit — giving staff time to intervene before an unauthorized exit occurs.
Door Interface Integration
Integration with door controllers to automatically lock or alarm when a wandering patient approaches — creating a layered prevention system.
Staff Alert Routing
Alerts routed to nurse smartphones, pagers, and nursing stations — with escalation rules to ensure response.
EMR Integration
Bidirectional HL7 integration with Epic, Cerner, and other EMR systems for automatic event documentation.
Fall Detection
Optional RTLS tags with accelerometer-based fall detection — immediate alert when a patient falls anywhere in the facility.
