Enabling our healthcare providers and medical staff is essential right now. We need to mitigate risks and act swiftly during this unprecedented time in history. The health care industry and those supporting them need to elevate their game in every way. The fact is we are all in this together, so how can each of us help?
In short order:
- Cruise lines and airlines need to set up Pop-Up-Clinics to test for coronavirus (COVID-19) as passengers disembark their ships.
- Assisted living facilities need to increase the care of their patients.
- New drive-up testing facilities are popping up to test for the novel coronavirus.
Smart communications can help support our health care industry to:
Be Ready to Triage Healthcare Services
Create Effective Incident Management
Mobilize Teams with Speed and Efficiency
Mitigate Risks for Providers and the Public
Be Able To Communicate With Public Safety
Swift communication between groups like CDC, the media, universities, and public safety is critical. A few questions to consider are: What do we need to support our frontline staff to get their job done effectively and expeditiously? What happens when a new case of the coronavirus is detected? Lastly, how do we communicate that and with whom?
A swift response is necessary to mitigate risks and prevent others from being infected, quick on-demand one-to-one calling is essential. Efficient communications speed up problem resolution.
These unusual circumstances have created extra challenging work environments. None that any of us are used to. A make-shift medical triage setting will not have access to an office. Not getting in touch with the right people rapidly could not just be costly – it can cost lives.
We need to enable our health care professionals with the right tools to be able to contact the right person at the right time. This can be done as quickly as pushing a button and talking. You may think a cell phone will be sufficient; however, a Two-Way-Radio is the most stable choice of communications for these mission-critical circumstances.
In an emergency, cell phones have many drawbacks:
- Interfering With Medical Equipment Signals
- Expensive Data Costs
- Human Distraction
- Vulnerability To A Digital Security Breach
- Limited Access To Public Safety
Mobile phones can be and are distracting to the user. Personal concerns at home, social media, voice mail, and text messaging, draw the user’s attention. All of these things keep the staff from executing their duties with precision at a time when keen focus is paramount. Confidential and urgent communication is a priority and best suited for the durability of a walkie-talkie.
Two-way radios are a communication medium that’s built for mission-critical work environments, with no distractions, and it provides high availability to Public Safety when it matters most.
