Protect your patients from the many risks they face.

You need an effective means to keep your kids safe.

Safe from stranger abduction. Safe from family abduction.

And safe from patient flight.

Introducing the world's first electronic pediatric protection system.

Why an electronic pediatric protection system?

Protects against all risks

Pediatric departments face risks that go well beyond

stranger abduction, and that just can't be countered

with standard access-control measures that only keep

danger out.

In the case of family abduction and patient flight, the

danger is already on the inside. A pediatric protection

system provides protection against all the risks you

face.

Provides systematic protection

Each of your patients is protected in the same way shift

after shift, based on your assessment of their individual

risk profile. Your staff is freed from having to make ad

hoc judgment calls about when patients may leave, or

who they can leave with.

Aids with patient flow control for security

It's much easier to keep tabs on the flow of patients in

and out of the department. You know exactly when a

patient left, and when they returned; and you can set

up automatic notification if a patient hasn't returned.

Change security levels in an instant

When you change the security level for a patient based

on a new risk assessment, it is applied immediately.

You're not relying on a paper-based system to communicate

the change across shifts.

Provides an audit trail

You can document everything that happens in your

department. This helps you improve your security, and

provides evidence to auditors that you are proactive

and consistent in your security measures.

Frequent patient transfers.

Frequent medical procedures.

A wide range of patient ages.

Patients who are active and mobile.

The Pedz system is designed for these realities of Pediatrics.

A tag made for kids, not babies

To understand how the Pedz system is built for your world,

start with the Pedz tag. It's the only product offering both

tamper protection and a cut-resistant band held inside the

tag with a clamp. Not only is it difficult for an abductor to

remove, but kids can play with it without causing nuisance

alarms.

If an abductor or flight-prone patient ever does succeed in

detaching the tag, you'll immediately be notified. An alarm

appears in the Pedz software at computers throughout your

department. You can also be notified via pager.

Re-attachable band for easy transport

It's easy to transport a patient with Pedz, both with the tag

attached and without. All it takes is a few clicks in the

software (under password control, naturally).

For those times when you need to remove the Pedz tag, the

re-attachable band makes this both quick and economical.

Just tell the software and then use the removal tool to detach

one side of the tag. When the patient comes back, re-attach

the tag using the same band.

Automatic re-enroll feature

When you re-attach the tag on a patient returning from

a medical procedure, it is automatically re-enrolled in the

system; you don't need to go through the admit procedure

again. All patient information is retained in the system until

discharge.

Keep track of your patients

The Pedz system can locate patients within the department,

too, because kids move around, even when they're sick!

Just select the patient from the census list, and the software

will show you the most recent location on the map of department.

A "cool" and fun tag

You want your patients to feel good about wearing the Pedz

tag, whether they're 2 or 21. A cute little "baby tag" just isn't

going to cut it. How about one in camouflage instead? Or in

pink? Or with an action hero?

Each of your patients can personalize the Pedz tag with a

selection of skins (covers), just like their favorite game console

or media player. When it comes time to go home, they can

take the skin with them as a memento of their stay. Or, you

can give your kids stickers to decorate the tag.
Personalized protection for each patient

You may decide that it's OK for some of your patients"given

their age and risk profile" to travel outside the department

unescorted. With Pedz, you can let these patient pass through

certain exits without causing an alarm. If you prefer, you can

receive notification if the patient doesn't return within a

certain time, or limit this access to certain hours.
