Technology in Action
Hear how your peers are implementing and integrating nurse call
systems, infant security, video surveillance, soundmasking,
resident wandering, and more ... and how these systems are being
tied together to achieve better patient care, increased staff
productivity, and more effective business processes.
Intelligent Video: Beyond Security
Everyone knows that video surveillance systems are key to an
integrated, all-encompassing security system. But many
peopledon'tknow that these systems (and the analytics behind them)
generate data that can be used for more than just security.
Discover how surveillance solutions can be used to make business
decisions about traffic patterns and wayfinding, parking,
restocking, etc.
Fire Inspections 101
Conducting an annual life safety inspection isn't enough,
according to NFPA 72. The changes recently made to the 2010
National Fire Alarm Codes are the most extensive in more than 20
years. Facilities that were once passing inspection suddenly
aren't. Find out what the new requirements are, and what
constitutes a fully compliant life safety inspection.
“CEC's BTC conference has been fantastic from the standpoint of being made aware of the technology that’s available. We use CEC in a variety of ways, but primarily for nurse call systems. We get a chance to talk frequently with them; they help us dramatically with the budgeting process, and keep us aware of what’s out there, whether it’s with nurse call systems or security systems. BTC is a fantastic opportunity to look at the elements that are available: to be able to see them, feel them, and touch them.”
