As the healthcare industry embraces technology to improve patient care and reduce costs, integrating disparate systems is critical to maximize performance. Something as simple as a common basis for timekeeping can make a difference in records accuracy, device and system interoperability, security, regulatory compliance, and overall efficiency of operations. The availability of a reliable, accurate and synchronised time display is critically important for medical staff conducting time-sensitive activities. It also enables the efficient operation of clinics and appointments across your healthcare facility.

In hospitals, time is of the essence. Nurses and Doctors rely on time to maintain accurate schedules and records, such as determining when the last patient’s procedure or test was performed, or medication administered, and when the next will be. Facility and engineering staff work to make sure the hospital infrastructure is accurate, trouble-free and properly maintained. Accurate time must be set and maintained for everything from wall clocks and medical devices to closed-circuit TV monitors and access control systems.

At the executive level, accurate time is important to ensure compliance to regulations, improve the use of resources through coordinated schedules and reduce the risks of liability, because records are used as legal evidence. Accurately time-stamped records are used for everything from insurance investigations to the reconstruction of emergency events.

In the past, when time was different among the various areas of the health care facility, disparate time was merely an inconvenience. But as systems have become increasingly interconnected, synchronized time throughout the health care enterprise becomes critical for regulatory compliance, to reduce legal liability, increase efficiency, and to improve care.

Choose the right clock

We offer a wide range of healthcare clock models to ensure the most appropriate time display for every environment within your hospital.

For operating theatres, we have LED digital countdown clocks with timer control units which can either be used as a chronometer, a countdown clock or a standard digital clock. LCD digital clocks are ideal for patient rooms and wards with low light, easy-to-read displays and silent running designed not to disturb. For halls and corridors, we offer analogue clocks with tempered glass faces and options for double-sided versions which can be read from both sides. All of our clock models for healthcare are easy to clean and designed to comply with hygiene standards.

Nurse Call End Points

Nurse Call End Points include Big Button Phones and Intercom Systems, these devices are specially designed for use in nursing homes and by senior people. The Big Button Phones and Emergency Intercoms come with large number keys, optional wireless pendants and premium audio quality with volume control to ensure the elderly can operate these phones easily. In the event of an emergency the SOS key on the phones or the wireless pendants ensure that help is just a button click away.

Telehealth Video Phones make use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) to deliver health services and transmit health information over both long and short distances. It is about transmitting voice, data, images and information rather than moving care recipients, health professionals or educators.

Both Synchronised Time systems and Nurse Call Endpoints are critical for patient care and play an important role in the smooth and efficient operation of the facility.
