User station for healthcare communication system

A user station for a patient-nurse communication system installable in a healthcare facility having a plurality of locational areas, the user station comprising:

• a housing defining an interior region, the housing being positionable adjacent a patient location of the healthcare facility,
• a communications port coupled to the housing and configured to connect the user station to the patient-nurse communication system,
• a graphical display supported by the housing,
• a memory in the housing comprising first computer program logic and second computer program logic, the first computer program logic being configured to associate the user station with a first locational area comprising at least one patient location within a healthcare facility, determine whether calls received from the patient-nurse communication system relate to the first locational area, and format information relating to calls that relate to the first locational area for display on the graphical display,
• the second computer program logic being configured to associate the user station with a second locational area comprising at least one patient location and spaced from the first locational area within the healthcare facility, determine whether calls from the patient-nurse communication system relate to the second locational area, and format information relating to calls that relate to the second locational area for display on the graphical display, and
• electrical circuitry in the housing operable to execute the first computer program logic and the second computer program logic to enable a user to process and manage at the user station calls from the patient-nurse communication system that relate to first and second locational areas.

A user station for a patient-nurse communication system, comprising:

• a housing defining an interior region,
• a graphical display supported by the housing,
• electrical circuitry in the interior region and configured to send and receive signals relating to calls communicated by a patient-nurse communication system and display information relating to the calls on the graphical display, and
• a mounting apparatus configured to selectively mount the housing to a structure adjacent a patient location in a plurality of different mounting arrangements.
