The Challenge:
Due to all these complexities, there is a constant barrage of overhead paging announcements. Cell phones due to sensitive medical monitoring equipment are not allowed, so reaching a nurse or doctor requires an overhead page and results in delays in reaching the on duty doctor or nurse. For every request, a medical professional must leave the patient bedside, return to the nurse’s station, make one or more telephone calls or overhead pages, wait for a call back and then relay information. Hence the requirement for a seamless, high uptime and secure communication infrastructure becomes not just essential but vital for faster responses and better care of patients.
