The term audiovisual can encompass various technologies within the healthcare environment, including interactive meeting and training rooms, audio only messages enabling information to be clearly heard for important announcements or health and safety warnings, video only information for display screens, information points, direction points, patient call boards and information kiosks, that can also utilise touch screen technology for interactive information transferral. Audio and visual technology can also be combined to ensure that whatever information needs to be presented, can be, to the required audience in the correct manor.
With time being at a premium for everybody nowadays, the interactive meeting and training rooms offer the versatility to the modern healthcare professional that ensures the required result is effectively and efficiently presented and remembered. An interactive meeting room can also act as a central hub for the control of outbreaks such as swine flu to co-ordinate the action plan and response from the healthcare organisation.
Audiovisual and touch screen technology are increasingly being integrated in to doctors surgeries and hospitals for patient arrival and call systems, these systems enable a secure, safe and smooth flow of patients from registration, to being called to see the doctor. The aim is to minimise the disruption to reception staff, as well as improving safety to staff, along with ensuring the processes and procedures that are already in place can be combined for the improvement and streamlining of healthcare for patients.
Audiovisual systems are designed to fit the specific environment they are required for, with the focus on the user, being easy to operate, fit for purpose and robust. Keeping everything in-house, Martin Dawes Solutions will endeavour to understand each specific environment and use of each system, to enable project to follow a set path of consultation, design, proposal, supply, project management, installation, training & service level agreement, ensuring at all stages that ISO standards are adhered to meet the ethos of “Right first time” for each and every project undertaken.
