As a healthcare professional, you are keenly aware that many factors impact and drive the costs of healthcare delivery.
What Factors Are Driving Telecommunications Costs in Healthcare
Wide Area Carriers vs Local Area Paging
What are the advantages of using a local response paging system for critical alert messaging over using a wide area carrier?
RF Coverage Is Crucial for Your Facility’s Critical Messaging
When it comes to critical alert messaging, nothing can be left to chance. These types of messages are just what their title implies; they are critical to your hospital’s mission and they MUST be delivered and acknowledged.
Cellular Phone Technology in Critical Alert Messaging
Cellular phone technology and the smart phones this technology has spawned are important communication media in today’s society, however they cannot be relied upon for critical alert messaging.
Response Paging vs WiFi for Wireless Critical Alert Messaging
For individuals who need to use critical alert messaging, every message is important, time-critical and requires immediate attention. Users of critical alert messaging have clear choices when it comes to wireless solutions.
Live Message Feedback Requires the Right Balance
Useful messaging feedback requires two ingredients: the correct technology and the correct user behavior.
PCD Alerts: The Importance of Quick and Reliable Delivery
In a busy clinical setting, quickly notifying the correct staff about alerts from Patient Care Devices (PCDs) is essential.
Code Paging: Leave Nothing to Chance
Although smartphones and Wi-Fi networks may seem a cleaner, single-device alternative to traditional dedicated code paging systems, this is an illusion.
Nursecall: the front line of patient safety
For nurse call systems, hospitals have relied for many years on stationary bedside pull cords, push buttons installed in beds and other stationary devices placed in bathrooms and throughout the hospital.
Battery Life and Critical Messaging
When a battery dies, at best, it wastes time and disrupts work flow. At worst, personnel miss important or even critical messages while dealing with the problem.
