What are the Challenges Associated with Pull Cords?
While pull cords are extremely beneficial, there are some challenges to consider:
- False Alarms: Accidental activation can lead to unnecessary responses, which can be stressful for both patients and staff. - Accessibility: For some patients, reaching the pull cord may still be challenging. Alternative solutions, such as wireless remote buttons, may be needed. - Maintenance: Ensuring that all cords are in good working condition requires regular checks and maintenance, which can be time-consuming.
