What is a Patient Pager?

Medical centers are places where order and speed in service delivery are highly important. Additionally, maintaining silence in such environments is crucial. When a patient visits a clinic for a doctor’s appointment, traditionally, they must wait for their turn and be called by the physician after completing the admission procedures. Some disadvantages of traditional appointment scheduling methods include creating chaos, overcrowding, time wastage, auditory pollution, and disorderliness. Therefore, nowadays, a tool called a patient pager is used to optimize the appointment scheduling system in medical centers. We will now become familiar with its advantages and usage methods.

Types of Patient Pagers

A patient pager is a suitable alternative to traditional appointment scheduling methods such as calling out or making noise. The usage of this system is such that when a patient enters a clinic or medical center, after completing the admission procedures, they receive a vibrating pager as their appointment token from the receptionist. Meanwhile, a keypad transmitter is installed in the physician’s room, and when the visit of each patient is complete, the physician calls the number of the next appointment using the transmitter keypad.

Patients are informed of their appointment through three types of alerts: auditory, vibrating, and visual. They then proceed to the respective physician’s room for their visit.

AHK brand vibrating pagers are suitable for patients due to their high-range coverage, allowing patients to freely move around the medical center while waiting for their appointment notification from the physician. As mentioned, individuals are notified of their appointment through auditory, visual, and vibrating alerts, which helps maintain order, speed, and reduces chaos in patient communication.

Patient pagers with auditory announcements!

In some medical centers, due to the high volume and number of visitors, vibrating pagers cannot be used. Therefore, the best option for use as a patient pager in these places is to use auditory paging instead of vibrating pagers. When a patient visits the clinic, after completing admission procedures, they receive a queue number from the receptionist and wait. The attending physician, using a keypad transmitter installed in their room, calls the next patient number after each visit. Meanwhile, the patient’s number is announced through the auditory pager, displayed on the screen, and also announced through the audio hub.

Using this system leads to increased accuracy, order, and speed in communication. The auditory paging and display come in two models: three-line and single-line, both capable of displaying three-digit numbers from 0 to 999. Another advantage of using this system is its wall-mountable capability.

The various types of vibrating pagers and auditory paging systems used as patient pagers in hospitals and clinics are easy to install and set up, and they come with wireless (wire-free) connections.
