Synchronized Clocks
Hospitals play an important role in taking care of patients and they also deal with several critical cases that professionals handle on a regular basis. This implies that the professionals in a hospital need to be efficient in their daily work so that people feel better which in turn boosts productivity. In the case of hospitals, productivity is always measured in terms of the recovery rate of the patients and also how smooth and hassle-free the work related processes are. Simplified processes are the best way to make the daily work smooth for professionals. This also helps them to have their complete focus on the work.
When talking about efficiency, the best way to check as well as achieve that is through time. This is when time management and effective use of time comes into the picture and given a lot of importance. Effective time management is achieved with the help of scheduled plotting and for that, it is best to have synchronized clocks, displaying uniform time all across the hospital facility.
Synchronized clocks consist of a master clock along with the respective slave clocks. As the name suggests, the master clock is responsible for transmitting signals to the slave clocks. In this case, the signal is the accurate time which the corresponding slave clocks need to follow on a routine basis. The master clock is directly connected to the time source which could be either be a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) master clock or an Ethernet Master clock , which takes accurate time from the Server. The clock synchronization is a process that mainly takes place when the signals reach the master clock. After receiving the signal the master clock transmits it to the slave clocks. This is a simple yet effective way of reflecting the same time throughout the entire establishment. It also makes sure that the time is being maintained to ensure maximum efficiency among professionals.
Now that we know the simplicity and benefits that synchronized clocks have, let us take a close look at how hospitals benefit from this:
- Professionals Stay on the Same Page – Doctors, patients, nurses and receptionists will be aware of a particular medical case and all professionals will be on the same page and always on time for all medical cases like operations, tests, reporting times,etc.
- Systematic Routine in Work – Synchronized clocks will bring routine and systematic work processes. There will also be a consistent improvement in the flow of work.
These are some of the most effective ways to make sure that professionals have it easy when it comes to time management. Also having such clocks will boost productivity within the hospital.
