Abstract:
Call light technology is important because it serves as a direct link for patients to get their healthcare needs fulfilled by their healthcare providers. As primary users of call light technology, patient perspectives are important and warranted. Despite this fact, there is a lack of published literature regarding patient perspectives and call light technology.

Using qualitative descriptive research methods, five major themes and multiple minor themes emerged from the data.
