Hexham General Hospital Installs QuietCall IQ Patient Pagers

Northumbria Healthcare Trust is rated as excellent for the quality of services and the way it manages its resources putting it in the top 10% in the country. The trust has recently upgraded the patient paging system at Hexham General Hospital and chose QuietCall IQ Patient Pagers and Pager Call Systems as their provider.

Hexham General Hospital have previously used a patient paging system from another provider but the system was proving unreliable and expensive to maintain. Hexham General decided to install the QuietCall IQ Paging System with antibacterial pagers to offer patients more freedom whilst waiting for appointments. Although Hexham General has some of the shortest waiting times for appointments in the country delays are occasionally unavoidable, the trust wanted to ensure that as part of their commitment to patient care the waiting experience was the best they could offer.

Upon arrival patients are offered a QuietCall IQ Patient Pager this offers patients the freedom to use the hospitals facilities whilst waiting for their appointment. Hexham General has an excellent cafeteria and with the new QuietCall Pager System patients can relax over a coffee or snack whilst waiting for their appointment. Once the patient is required for their appointment the department simply enters the patients pager number in to the transmitter and presses send to alert the patient that it is time to attend.

How Restaurants Can Save Money on Staff

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

How can you save money on wait staff in a restaurant? We’re not entirely sure that every restaurant may agree but dancing samurai robots that serve diners might be a worth a try. That’s what the owner of the Hajime restaurant in Thailand did. The owner apparently spent about 30 million baht (about $930,000) on her restaurant and four robots from Japan. The robots can serve and clear food that customers order via a touch screen. If you’re bored, the robots will even dance to entertain you, though that may or may not affect your appetite.

Alternatively you could always consider using a ServerCall waiter paging system from Pager Call Systems, using restaurant pagers to alert serving staff when food is ready to be collected from the kitchen can eliminate the need for runners or serving staff to continuously keep returning to the kitchen to check if a food order is ready.
Kitchen to waiter communication systems from Pager Call Systems will ensure you deliver your food hot and fresh as soon as it’s ready, it also ensures your diners receive the very best service from waiting staff who will be on hand on the restaurant floor rather than waiting around the kitchen for orders.

Check out the robots in action in the video below:

Restaurant Pagers from Pager Call Systems, cheaper than a robot but they dont dance!
