An audio system for hospitals may require much more knowledge than you might think. This is because it is necessary to identify all the particularities that the space has, especially when it comes to a large infrastructure with a high flow of people daily.
But beyond investing in a system, it is essential to know how to manage it so that your company can take advantage of all the benefits that an IP audio system offers, such as assisting in remote care, without the need for extreme proximity between a hospital receptionist and a patient, for example.
To help you maximize results and optimize hospital operational processes, we will present SIMM.PRO, software capable of meeting the various needs of the healthcare sector when it comes to sound and visual communication.
Challenges Encountered Along the Way...
Before we introduce SIMM.PRO, it is necessary to understand the challenges faced by the healthcare sector daily so that we can comprehend the importance of managing sound and visual media.
To better understand, we have separated some topics with situations that occur in the daily life of hospitals and that could be simplified or avoided with a good audio management system, such as:
- Theft of laboratory supplies, equipment, or even utensils and medications;
- Manual notification of emergency situations where it is necessary to quickly evacuate the building;
- Deficiencies in operational processes and high costs with personnel for manual management, among many others;
Now that we have seen some challenges that can be encountered along the way in the daily life of hospitals, how about getting to know SIMM.PRO?
Meet SIMM.PRO
SIMM.PRO Media Under Control is a media management software developed by SilliS. With it, it is possible to use IP audio, LED displays, and digital signage together and in a synchronized manner, controlling all announcements, information, and ambient sounds that will be made throughout the day, week, month, or year in an agile and proactive way, facilitating the daily operations of your facility.
It is intuitive and has various functionalities for the moment of registering hardware and for possible future changes. For example, when registering a device in the system, it is possible to specify whether it is an audio output, text, or screen, whether it is active or inactive, and what its manufacturer is.
Additionally, one of its advanced features allows for issuing a monitoring report of online and offline hardware.
Another differentiator of SIMM.PRO is during the zone registration process, where it is possible to indicate whether that area is active or inactive and designate a leader speaker – the one that will receive the information and disseminate the content among the others in the same zone – and a backup – which will replace the leader if it is not functioning.
Moreover, in cases of audio playback, the user can select whether the volume of the scheduling will be configured by zone or by the scheduling itself, with standard volume levels: very low, low, medium, high, and very high.
There are so many benefits that it is hard to list them all, but here are a few:
- Schedule events via link;
- Pause and reactivate schedules;
- Store media in folders and subfolders;
- Automate the self-calibration of sound for your audio devices remotely;
- Configure volume by time slot;
- Synchronize audio messages and LED panels;
- Create a personalized playlist with guidelines, information, and announcements;
- Integrate SIMM.Center – command center for instant communication in moments when every second is valuable;
Extra: With SIMM.Center, it is possible to perform various automations that optimize the daily operations of your company and can even assist in the flow of people visiting hospitals daily.
How SIMM.PRO Can Help!
Considering the challenges faced by hospitals, let's discuss how SIMM.PRO can help solve them, shall we?
- Theft of supplies and laboratory materials:
This is a factor that occurs frequently in the daily life of hospitals and health clinics, and preventing it can be quite simple. With the integration of SIMM.PRO to a video monitoring system, it will be possible to create customized events according to the needs of the location. In this case, we have the activation of a security alarm when an unauthorized person accesses a specific area, for example.
- Manual notification in emergency situations:
Whether in just one area or throughout the entire hospital, quickly notifying everyone present in the area is extremely important for a rapid and safe evacuation. Today, when a similar situation occurs, an urgent sound alert is usually triggered, and further instructions are given by the responsible evacuation team. With SIMM.PRO, this can be done along with the audio system with a single click, and visual instructions can also be displayed on all screens in the hospital or only in selected zones.
- Deficiencies in operational processes:
SIMM.PRO also facilitates and optimizes the daily work of both the security and operational teams. For example, if there is a suspicious situation outside the hospital or even in its parking lot that is captured by the security camera, it will be possible to issue a sound alert to notify a potential intruder that they are being monitored, and often this action alone is enough to necessitate the dispatch of the security team to the location.
In summary, an audio system in hospitals assists in remote care, ensuring the safety of patients and staff. Additionally, we have seen that when integrated with video monitoring, it is possible to maximize the security of the entire internal and external structure of the facility.
Not to mention the various other customized solutions we can apply with SIMM.PRO for each type of need.
