Staff Announcements

Communication is so important during emergency situations that your healthcare facility should have multiple ways to notify people. One way announcements can be made is manually by staff members into a microphone or into Jeron’s staff consoles. This allows for real-time response and rapid response, as well as for any staff member to make an announcement.

Pre-recorded Announcements

Your healthcare facility can also pre-record announcements about emergency situations, which makes it easy to disseminate the vital information during an emergency from codes to active shooter, tornados, and more. Announcements can also be triggered from buttons or events (like when a fire alarm is pulled, it triggers strobes and a siren).

Localized Announcements

There may be emergency situations where your entire healthcare facility does not need to be notified, which helps to ensure there is no unnecessary panic. Announcements via our public address systems can be made to specific units, floors, or the entire facility depending on the need.

Additional Uses of Overhead Paging Systems

Overhead paging has more functions than just for emergencies. They can make routine announcements (such as when visiting hours are over), play music, mask sound, and much more. They are great for announcements, even celebratory announcements such as birthdays, and for general information set on repeat, such as wearing masks while in your facility.
