One of the country’s largest Veterans Health Administration facilities is a healthcare center that delivers care to more than 170,000 veterans across a three-state region and includes a state-of-the-art acute care tertiary hospital with an inpatient capacity of over 400. When the coronavirus pandemic hit in March of 2020, a surge of COVID-19 patients quickly strained the capacity and resources of the facility. A shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) put physicians, nurses, staff, non-COVID-19 patients and visitors at increased risk of infection. Soon, overworked staff found themselves laboring around the clock to provide desperately needed care.

The VA healthcare center turned to its proven and trusted systems integrator, Johnson Controls. Johnson Controls has a long history of support for VA facilities, including installing mass notification and duress notification systems in 150 VA facilities across the country. Johnson Controls consultants recommended a HIPAA- compliant mobile nurse call station solution to address their needs.
