FARGO – July 16, 2019 -- ZulaFly, a leading provider of real-time data gathering systems, today announced its partnership with Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center (MSLCC) of Bismarck, North Dakota.  MSLCC is a 258-bed, long-term care facility that has been providing care for more than 50 years.

At MSLCC, providing exceptional care to residents and providing a safe environment for staff is of utmost importance.  Utilizing the ZulaFly software solution,residents have the ability to move freely around campus – with the peace of mind in knowing that with a simple press of a button on the badge they wear, they can call for help from anywhere at any time.

Staff at MSLCC receive alerts immediately in order to know exactly who is in need of assistance and their location.  Alerts are also sent if a wandering resident leaves his or her room during the night or is close to an exit for an extra level of safety.  Additional features will provide staff the ability to swiftly locate equipment they need to reduce search time.

“One of the quick wins that we realized with the real-time location system was an improvement in our average call light response time,”says Reier Thompson, CEO of MSLCC. “It has also helped our team locate residents throughout the campus to provide meaningful activities, timely medical treatments and medication administration, transportation to medical appointments, and therapy services.”

The Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center's emergency preparedness program was also enhanced by the capability to see where residents and staff are located during drills. This information helps the healthcare facility design better plans in the event of an emergency.

MSLCC is currently utilizing ZulaFly‘s software platform and alerts with Sonitor hardware to provide resident locating as well as staff safety and asset locating.  The convenience of quickly locating another staff members in such a large facility as MSLCC has been significant advantage: it makes it possible for staff to spend less time looking for team members to further increase the time spent with residents.    Additionally, ZulaFly is integrating with the West-Com nurse call solution to provide a single dash board for viewing and reporting, along with Eide Bailly to provide business analytics to MSLCC.
