To enable patient information to be easily grasped by a medical worker and so forth even when the patient information such as the name of a patient is not displayed on a display apparatus on a corridor lamp resulting from power failure.

The nurse call system includes a corridor lamp 3 having a display apparatus 4 which displays at least the name of the patient when a power source is fed. In the nurse call system, when an emergency situation information input section 12 of a printer apparatus 10 inputs emergency situation information, the control section 11 of the printer apparatus 10 makes a layout figure in which the names of the patients are arranged in order for every ward printed by a printer section 14. Therefore, the medical worker who sees the printed layout figure can easily grasp the patient information even if the patient information such as the name of the patient has been stopped from being displayed on the display apparatus 4 of the corridor lamp 3 when a hospital has power failure resulting from the generation of an emergency situation.
