Overhead paging in a hospital setting is simply outdated. JTECH’s MediPass™ pagers are discreet, reliable and cost-effective. There is no need to announce to the entire hospital one individual’s specific need. Not only is it bothersome to other patients and their families, it may also be a violation of HIPAA. JTECH’s ergonomic, easy to hold pagers are attractive and easy to use. MediPass pagers can be utilized in the hospital admitting department, the emergency services waiting area, an outpatient surgery department, specific examining areas like cardiac stress testing, and in the hospital pharmacy just to name a few. Discreet paging alleviates concerns regarding patient privacy, which has become ever more important and is heavily regulated by HIPAA laws. Silent pagers bring together all the relevant parties including patients, their families, doctors and hospital staff. This web of communication provides a sense of ease and serenity to an environment that is typically anything but serene.

Meanwhile, MediPass pagers also increase patient satisfaction by improving the overall waiting experience. “Customer service” is not just a buzzword for the retail industry, but rather it is a very large component of a hospital’s success as well. This is especially true in areas where patients have options as to which hospital to seek services. Some areas are so small that there is only one hospital within reasonable distance, but many places are serviced by multiple hospitals, all of which are vying for patients. How a hospital represents itself to the patients will also impact if doctors continue to refer their patients there. Having a reputation of good service and attentiveness to patient needs goes a long way. Improve the community standing of your hospital by eliminating or reducing overhead paging and replacing it with a discreet paging system. The healthcare industry will be forever changing, as will the communication needs within such an industry.
