RCare, Inc. (Response Care), creator of advanced nurse call and monitoring solutions, announced today the launch of new products to improve the lives of essential care workers and those they serve. As the coronavirus continues to spread through vulnerable populations, including senior housing and healthcare communities, RCare has been pivoting, innovating and developing products to serve these ever-changing and critical care needs. Their latest innovations include: the BCube Plus, an optimized Caregiver Console (CC1080), an upgraded Rugged RPhone and an all new Rapid Deployment Kit (RDK) designed for non-traditional acute environments.

In the midst of a busy, record-breaking month, RCare introduced the BCube Plus, the latest generation of its BCube nurse call system exclusively for small communities. The BCube Plus still provides all of the robust features of RCare’s flagship advanced nurse call system, however it’s scaled and priced for smaller communities with smaller budgets. It has a sleeker appearance with a larger screen for easier viewing and advanced capabilities for even greater reliability.

The optimized Caregiver Console (CC1080) uses the same large form factor and sleek design as the BCube Plus and offers greater stability and reliability to the company’s nurse station console. It is the optimal information hub, clearly displaying incidents and relaying complete information about every incident, their status, which have been answered, by whom and so much more for the floor staff. In addition, RCare has launched its next generation Rugged RPhone, a drop-proof, water-proof caregiving phone with an enhanced operating system and processor. The locked-down, HIPAA-compliant Rugged RPhone comes pre-configured with RCare’s powerful and award-winning ‘RCare Mobile’ mobile caregiving app.

Lastly, in direct response to COVID19, RCare has invented the Rapid Deployment Kit (RDK), a solution designed for heroes on the frontlines, whether it’s in a hospital community, makeshift tent or highschool auditorium. The RDK is a portable, easily installed, reliable nurse call system in a box to provide reliable, responsive care, even in “pop-up”, non-traditional settings, such as tents, hallways, convention centers, and other atypical locations repurposed to handle patient overflow.

“We’re getting urgent requests from providers who are setting up makeshift tents in parking lots to care for COVID patients,” said RCare CEO, Myron Kowal. “They needed something right away, affordably priced, and they needed it to work right out of the box. We created the Rapid Response Kit to do just that.”

The RCare Rapid Deployment Kit arrives fully programmed and can be set up within minutes. It’s designed to work reliably, inside or outside of traditional hospital settings to provide communications between patient and caregiver and between equipment and caregiver. More than that, they are fully field tested, and have been deployed at facilities nationwide.
