Q: Does the hospital clock system support wireless synchronization technology to reduce cabling costs?
A: Yes, modern hospital clock systems widely use wireless synchronization technologies, such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee or Bluetooth, to reduce the dependence on cabling and reduce costs. These wireless technologies can effectively transmit time signals from the central server to each clock terminal to achieve accurate synchronization of time throughout the hospital.
Q: Does the clock system have a clock drift correction function to ensure long-term time accuracy?
A: Hospital clock systems usually have a clock drift correction function. Because the physical clock may have a slight time deviation (clock drift) during the running process, the system periodically compares the time with the GPS or NTP server and automatically adjusts the time of the clock terminal to ensure the long-term time accuracy.
Q: Does the clock system support partition management to meet the time requirements of different regions?
A: Yes, some advanced hospital clock systems support partition management functions. Hospitals can divide the clock system into multiple time zones or time groups according to different regional or departmental needs, and set independent time rules for each group. In this way, diverse time needs can be met even in multinational hospitals or special medical areas.
Q: Is the clock system compatible with the architecture and decor of the existing hospital?
A: Hospital clock systems are often designed with compatibility with existing hospital building structures and decorative styles in mind. Manufacturers offer clock options in a variety of sizes, shapes and materials to meet the installation needs of different hospital sites. At the same time, the system also supports a variety of mounting methods, such as wall hanging and lifting, to adapt to a variety of wall and ceiling structures.
Q: Does the clock system support multiple language displays to meet the needs of international hospitals?
A: For international hospitals, the clock system support for multiple language display is an important feature. Some advanced hospital clock systems are able to provide multiple language interfaces and display options to meet the language needs of different countries and regions. In this way, patients and healthcare professionals can easily view time information based on their own language habits.
Q: Does the clock system have a mute function to reduce disruption to the patient's rest?
A: Yes, in order to ensure the patient's rest environment, the hospital clock system usually has a mute function. In a specific time period (such as night or lunch break), the system can automatically or manually switch to silent mode, turn off or reduce the clock's time, second hand sound and other noise sources, to reduce the interference to the patient's rest.
Q: Does the clock system support time broadcast for the whole hospital?
A: In addition to the basic time display function, some hospital clock systems also have a time broadcast function. These systems can broadcast information such as notifications, reminders, or emergency evacuations to the whole hospital during a specific period of time or in an emergency through built-in audio devices or external broadcast systems. This helps to improve hospital management efficiency and emergency response ability.
Q: Does the clock system support integration with the hospital's intelligent security system?
A: In order to improve the safety and management efficiency of hospitals, some hospital clock systems support integration with intelligent security systems. By sharing time and control signals, the clock system can achieve linkage control with the security monitoring system, access control system, fire protection system, etc. For example, in an emergency, the clock system can trigger the video recording and alarm functions of the security system and display the time information of the relevant area in real time for analysis.
Q: Does the clock system support remote upgrades and maintenance to reduce the need for on-site service?
A: Yes, in order to facilitate the management and maintenance of the hospital, modern hospital clock systems usually support remote upgrade and maintenance functions. The manufacturer can remotely access and control the system server or terminal device through the Internet for software upgrade, configuration adjustment, fault diagnosis and repair. This can greatly reduce the need and cost of field service and improve the reliability and availability of the system.
Q: Does the clock system have the time synchronization function of the patient positioning system?
A: In some advanced hospitals, the integration of patient positioning system and clock system is a common application scenario. By sharing time signals and control information, the clock system can provide accurate time synchronization services for the patient positioning system. This helps ensure the accuracy and timeliness of patient location data, providing strong support for hospital emergency rescue, disease tracking and care coordination.
