In a clinic or hospital, every second counts. From floor to floor, and from each staff member to each patient, nearly every aspect of care depends on an entire building working in sync.
Synchronized clocks display the same, accurate time on each clock in a building or across a campus – accurate to within 1/10th of a second. More than a convenience, synchronized time enables everyone in the clinic or hospital to work confidently and efficiently together. Synchronized time is important for…
- More accurate record keeping
- Better staff efficiency
- Improved patient communication and care
- Minimizing maintenance staff requests for clock adjustments
Whether you have a small clinic or a large hospital campus, there are a variety of synchronized clock technologies and options – such as elapsed time indicators, 24-hour dials, and Code Blue alerts – to fit your needs and budget.
Here’s how just a few clinics and hospitals are leveraging synchronized time to improve staff and patient experiences!
