Synergy Media Group
understands the need for audiovisual systems in the healthcare
industry. SMG has installed high-end board rooms and training
rooms in numerous hospitals and non-profit healthcare institutions
in the Pittsburgh area. Operating rooms, briefing rooms, videoconferencing
facilities, telemedicine, collaboration facilities, and waiting
rooms are common areas that you will not only find audio visual
solutions, but these rooms are only possible because of audio
visual technologies.
Below are a few common audio visual solutions in the healthcare
industry:
AudioVisual Operating Room
Teaching hospitals like those found in Pittsburgh often require
the ability to broadcast a surgery to both doctors and students
for training and educational purposes. These surgeries can
be broadcasted locally within the hospital to training rooms
or they can be videoconferenced to universities or other learning
institutions. Multiple cameras can be mounted around the room
to pick up different angles of the surgery. Speakers mounted
throughout the room allow students in remote locations to
ask questions during the surgery. Microphones installed in
the room allow surgeons and nurses to respond to questions
along with providing the ambient noises heard in the operating
room. LCD displays in the room allow the surgeons and the
room operator to monitor what it is being sent to the viewers.
The operating room would be controlled by a Crestron touchpanel.
Another application for AV operating rooms is the ability
to monitor the operating rooms from a single location. In
this instance, it is similar to the above described room;
however, the hospital is the only viewer and they can pull
up any live surgery instantly.
AudioVisual TeleMedicine and
Collaboration Center
Hospitals
can integrate audio visual technologies in order to meet the
growing need of telemedicine and collaboration. Audio
Visual technology allows for teleconsultation and sharing
of x-rays, microscopes, tumor samples, and lab results between
hospitals over video links. This style of telemedicine allows
hospitals to reduce wait times for surgery, increase collaboration
with leaders in their fields, and increase the quality of
patient care. Doctors from different hospitals spanning over
great distances now have the ability to meet instantly without
the need for travel by making decisions over video.
Telementoring is another telemedicine option that links two
or more medical professionals via video for interactive, full-duplex
instruction in an actual procedure or face-to-face mentoring
and consultation without direct patient interaction. |
