Q: How does the hospital clock system ensure time synchronization throughout the hospital?
A: Hospital clock systems usually use GPS (Global Positioning System) or NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers as time sources to ensure that all clocks display time in sync with standard time. The system transmits the accurate time signal to the clock of each ward, operating room, corridor and other areas by wired or wireless, so as to achieve the consistency of time in the whole hospital.
Q: Does the clock system support automatic DST adjustment?
A: Yes, modern hospital clock systems usually have automatic daylight saving time adjustment. The system automatically adjusts the DST time based on the preset DST rules without manual intervention, ensuring the time accuracy at the start and end of DST.
Q: How does the clock system respond to power failures or network outages?
A: Hospital clock systems often have backup power (such as battery or UPS UPinterruptible power) and redundant network design to deal with unexpected situations such as power failures or network outages. In the event of a power outage, backup power can ensure that the clock continues to run for a while; In the event of a network outage, the system can keep time synchronized through the internal clock or the standby network.
Q: Does the clock system support remote monitoring and management?
A: Yes, in order to facilitate the monitoring and management of the clock system by hospital administrators, modern hospital clock systems usually support remote access and control. Administrators can remotely view the clock status, adjust time Settings, diagnose faults, and more through a web browser or dedicated software.
Q: How does the clock system integrate with the hospital's Medical Information System (HIS)?
A: Hospital clock systems can be integrated with medical information systems such as HIS through apis (application programming interfaces) or middleware. In this way, the clock system can receive the time synchronization signal sent by HIS to ensure the accuracy of time-related operations such as medical records and the execution of medical orders. At the same time, the clock system can also provide HIS time stamp service to help record the time point of medical events.
Q: Does the clock system support multiple display formats (e.g. 12 hour /24 hour)?
A: Yes, hospital clock systems usually support multiple display formats to meet the needs of different areas and patients. For example, a more understandable 12-hour display might be used in the ward area, while a 24-hour display might be used in areas such as the operating room or emergency room where precise time is required.
Q: Can the brightness of the clock system be adjusted to suit different environments?
A: Yes, many hospital clock systems have brightness adjustment. The system can automatically adjust the brightness of the clock according to the ambient light, or reduce the brightness during certain periods, such as at night, to reduce the disturbance to the patient. In addition, some high-end systems support manual brightness adjustment to meet special needs.
Q: Does the clock system support fault alarm and logging?
A: Yes, in order to ensure the stable operation and timely maintenance of the clock system, modern hospital clock systems usually have fault alarm and log recording functions. When the system detects a fault or anomaly, it automatically triggers the alarm mechanism and generates a log record. You can view logs to know the cause and time of the fault and take measures to rectify the fault in time.
Q: Does the clock system support custom design to meet the needs of the hospital brand image?
A: Yes, in keeping with the brand image and decoration style of the hospital, many clock manufacturers offer custom design services. Hospitals can choose the appearance, color, material and other elements of the clock according to their own needs, and add elements such as the hospital logo or name on the clock to highlight the brand image.
Q: How does the clock system ensure visibility and reliability in the event of an emergency, such as a fire?
A: In an emergency, visibility and reliability of a hospital clock system is critical. For this reason, many systems are designed with a high-lighted LED display or backlight to ensure that the time can be clearly displayed even in smoky or dim environments. In addition, the system has an emergency power supply and backup network designed to ensure normal operation and accurate time information in emergency situations such as fire. At the same time, some systems also have the linkage function with the fire alarm system, which automatically switches to the emergency mode and displays the relevant evacuation instructions when the fire occurs.
