How many beeps, dings, and buzzes do you and your staff hear every day within your healthcare facility? Whether or not these sounds signal necessary actions vital to patient care or daily operations, the amount can be overbearing. The abundance of these sounds can cause alarm fatigue, which desensitizes staff and puts patient health at risk.
With the school year in full swing, students are falling into their school day routines of waking up, getting ready, and heading out the door. Whether they first head to their bus stop, car, or the sidewalk — they’ll soon be doing so while bundled up.
Keeping activities on time can be vital within any facility, be it a school, hospital, pharmacy, or warehouse. Healthcare patients sometimes require and always deserve to receive on-time care. Classes and tests that start on time can help to make students feel less rushed. Warehouse product line or transit center efficiency is best when employees work cohesively under synchronized time.
The National Center for Education Statistics lists 3,931 degree-granting postsecondary campuses in the U.S. as of 2020-2021. Whether at a small private school, like the enrollment-of-14 Deep Springs College in eastern California, or a large university, like the sprawling multibuilding campus at the University of Texas at Austin, keeping individuals on time can be a difficult task.
However, with a Primex OneVue Sync™ Synchronized Time solution, lectures, discussion classes, labs, and other courses can be better kept on time. With various analog and digital Primex clocks throughout a college campus, students, teaching staff, and visitors can all function on the same synchronous time.
Elementary and high school hallways are once again buzzing with students carrying textbooks, Trapper Keepers, and pencil cases as they navigate through their daily schedules. And the number of students can be many, as public school enrollment estimates in the U.S. for prekindergarten through grade 12 could include approximately 49.6 million students if an upward trend from Fall 2020 continues.
The timely deliverance of care plays an essential role in many aspects of the healthcare industry. Seeing patients on time can maximize a schedule’s allotment, which helps generate more revenue for the hospital or health system. Avoiding long wait times or constant reschedules can also improve patient satisfaction, contributing to increased reimbursement rates if HCAHPS scores are high.
Even though — at the time of writing, at least — inflation appears to be slowly relenting, American individuals and industries have felt the wrath of higher prices for goods and services since 2021. The healthcare industry is no exception.
Keeping the integrity of controlled environments is vital in numerous aspects of healthcare. Whether protecting patients during operations, preventing the spread of infection from isolation areas, or safeguarding vaccines and medications in refrigerators, healthcare staff need to ensure proper conditions for safety and compliance.
As technology within healthcare continues to evolve, many patients and staff members alike continue to benefit. From smart patient beds and wearable health trackers to implantable devices and electronic health records, technology has changed healthcare for the better.
