Patient request management

Every nurse call for help, heard, sorted,
and answered.

Care Concierge turns a scan, a tap, or a spoken word into a prioritized task on your team's live floor view, and keeps family in the loop the moment it's resolved.

The problem

Every call light looks the same, until someone walks over to check.

01

Requests arrive with no context

A lit call button doesn't say whether it's water, pain, or a fall. Staff walk the hall to find out, one room at a time.

02

Nothing is prioritized

An urgent request and a routine one wait in the same silence. Without a queue, the loudest room gets attention first, not the neediest.

03

Family finds out last

Even when a request is handled well, the family member who called to ask “did anyone check on them?” has no way to know.

How it works

From bedside to resolved, in one continuous line.

No app to install, no account to create at the bedside: a request becomes a tracked task the instant it's sent.

Resident being assisted
Step 1

Patient sends a request

Scan the bedside QR code, tap a tile on the room's iPad, or speak it, in the language they're most comfortable in.

Step 2

It's typed and timestamped

Every request lands with a category, an urgency flag, and a room, instantly. No triage phone call required.

Clinical staff member
Step 3

Staff see it, live

The bay map, dashboard, and feed update in real time. Anyone on shift can acknowledge, reassign, or resolve it.

Family member notified
Step 4

Family sees it resolved

If they've been invited to follow that resident, they'll see the update in their own activity feed, along with who handled it.

The platform

Everything a floor needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Six pieces that work as one system, configured for your facility, not the other way around.

Two ways in, built for who's asking

A visiting family member scans the QR code on their own phone. A resident who can't hold one taps a large icon on the room's mounted iPad, or just speaks the request out loud.

  • QR code per room: no app, no login, works on any phone
  • iPad kiosk mode: large touch tiles for a shared, always-on device
  • Type or speak an open-ended request that doesn't fit a tile
Emergency Help: tap to call a nurse
Food / Drink
Bathroom Help
Medication

One live view of the whole floor

The bay map shows every room's status at a glance. The dashboard queues requests by urgency. The feed shows every event as it happens: no refreshing, no walking the hall to check.

  • Color-coded bay map, updated in real time
  • Acknowledge, reassign, and resolve from any device
  • Staff chat for handoffs, without leaving the queue

Family, kept in the loop without a phone call

Invite a resident's family to a private portal. They see resolved requests with staff attribution, planned and completed activities, and can message your team or send their own quick check-in requests.

  • Invite-only family accounts, scoped to one resident
  • Direct messaging between family and care team
  • Activities planner: family sees what's scheduled and done

Reports that inform staffing, not just archive requests

See response times, request volume, and resolution rates by shift, bay, or staff member. Export what a shift handover or a board meeting actually needs.

  • Live analytics: volume, response time, resolution rate
  • CSV and DOCX exports: bay summary, staff performance, shift report
  • Configurable retention: nothing deleted, just archived on schedule

Set up your way. No IT ticket required.

Build out your sites, units, and rooms; write your own request types with your own icons and urgency rules; invite staff and scope their access, all from a self-serve admin panel your facility manager can run.

  • Sites → units → rooms, printed QR sheets in a click
  • Custom request types per audience: patient and family, separately
  • Role-based access, from tenant admin down to volunteer

These are live screens, mid-shift.

No staged data: this is the Bay Map, Dashboard, and iPad kiosk running against a real facility's rooms and requests.

iPad kiosk

Large touch tiles for the room's mounted device: each one tracks its own status, so a resident can flag more than one need at a time.

Who it's for

One system, tuned to how your setting actually runs.

Clinical staff member

Hospitals & acute care

High turnover, high acuity: urgent requests surfaced first, shift-by-shift reporting for handovers.

Residents engaged in an activity

Retirement & long-term care

Fewer, longer-staying residents, where the family portal and activities planner matter most.

Wheelchair

Rehab & assisted living

Mixed independence levels: QR for mobile residents, kiosk mode where a tap beats a scan.

Vehicles representing travel between sites

Multi-site groups

One tenant, many campuses: scoped admin roles per site or unit, one reporting view across all of them.

What changes on the floor

Not a new device to manage. A clearer way to run the one you already have.

For patients

A request is acknowledged and tracked the moment it's sent, instead of wondering if the call button even registered.

For staff

One prioritized queue instead of a hallway of unlabeled lights: acknowledge, hand off, and resolve from wherever they're standing.

For family

An invite, not a phone call, is how they find out their person was checked on, with a name attached to the update.

Non-destructive deployment

Keep the EMR you already have.

No rip-and-replace. Care Concierge writes back to your existing system of record in real time, deployed parallel to it with zero downtime.

What the category already knows

We're early. The problem isn't.

We don't have deployment numbers yet, so we're not going to invent them. Here's what's already been measured by other people about the gap Care Concierge is built for.

51%

Drop in the average time to complete a patient request once nurse call was wired into a clinical communications layer — 127 seconds down to 62 — observed at St Agnes Hospital.

Peer-reviewed observational study, Comput Inform Nurs, 2008
12+

Requests a patient makes per day when asking is genuinely easy, at a Philadelphia rehab hospital. The vendor credits the same deployment with over 7,500 nursing hours returned a year.

Vendor-reported, Aiva Health
3–6 mo

Typical implementation window for an enterprise long-term care platform. Care Concierge is built so a facility manager can stand up a unit without opening an IT ticket.

Industry directory estimate

All three figures come from third parties writing about this category, not from Care Concierge deployments. Ours will replace them here as soon as we have them.

Where we fit

Not a nurse call replacement. The layer nurse call never had.

Your building already has a system that turns a button press into a light and a chime. It routes a signal. It doesn't say what was asked, in what language, how urgent it was, who picked it up, or how long the person waited — and it has no way to tell the daughter who's been calling the front desk since Tuesday.

Where we don't compete

If your building needs code-compliant emergency call hardware, keep it — that's a life-safety system and we're not one. Care Concierge runs beside it and takes everything that isn't an emergency, which on most floors is nearly all of it.

Design partners

The first ten floors decide what the next hundred get.

We're not going to stage case studies we haven't earned. Instead we're taking a small number of design partner sites — one unit is enough — and building the next year of Care Concierge around what happens on them.

What you get

  • Setup on your floor plan, with your request types and your roles, at no cost during the pilot
  • A direct line to the people writing the software, not a ticket queue
  • Your unit's data, exportable, whether or not you continue

What we ask

  • One unit, one shift pattern, and a charge nurse willing to tell us when something is wrong
  • Thirty minutes every second week for the length of the pilot
  • Permission to write about what we learned, with your name on it only if you want it there

Design partner intake is open through [Q4 2026 — confirm]. Roughly [six — confirm] sites.

Needs review before this goes live: the intake deadline and site count above are placeholders from the copy deck, not real numbers. Fill in or cut this line.
Straight answers

The questions we get in the first ten minutes.

Four answers need your input before this is fully ready: offline behaviour, supported languages, the PHI scope answer, and pricing posture. Expand a question above to see which.
Get started

See it running on your own floor plan.

Bring your unit layout, and we'll set up a live bay map with your rooms, your request types, and your roles, so you're evaluating your own workflow, not a demo script.
