Communicating a message to a group of people can be difficult and frustrating when it has to be accomplished on a one-to-one basis. Sometimes a simple message can take an inordinate amount of time to convey if each person has to be approached individually. With each face-to-face encounter there is the chance that the message is misconstrued or misspoken. In addition, that takes time, not to mention the possible conversation that may result and the lengthiness of that potential conversation. All these complications and concerns can be avoided when appropriate communication tools are utilized.

For example, JTECH’s wireless communication devices allow for group communication, whereby the intended message can be delivered to multiple staff members immediately and simultaneously. This level of efficiency saves time for all staff members, both managers and ”associates” alike. In addition, this direct and immediate communication clears up any confusion, ensuring all staff members remain informed. All staff members are kept on the same page, optimizing both efficiency and teamwork. JTECH’s pagers and other messaging tools are durable, easy to use, scalable to the size of your operation. And because these communication solutions are affordable, the monetary benefit of being able to communicate with your team of staff members or a group within your organization need not be labored over. Wireless communication devices in a group setting give management the ability to manage on a micro level but with macro skills. It’s empowering to staff while not losing oversight control. Today, people are expecting more and more from technology, and JTECH’s wireless communication tools are up for the task. The better question is whether or not your staff can keep up with you.

According to the American Hospital Association, nearly 38 million people were admitted to hospitals last year alone. Expenses to run these hospitals exceeded $725 billion. That’s a lot of people and a lot of money. Not to mention the significance of lives on the line, which cannot be expressed in a statistic or a dollar amount. Thankfully, hospital staff in the United States and the rest of the industrialized world is equipped with tools and resources to provide a high level of patient care. One area that is vital to the successful operation of a hospital is communication. JTECH’s staff to staff healthcare pagers improve efficiency and result in a smoother running hospital. The SmartAlert® messaging system is flexible enough to be utilized in a variety of settings and in hospitals of varying size. Pages can be sent from any phone extension, or from a small “push button” transmitter. And for enterprise-wide communications integrating your existing systems and mobile devices, the TITAN system manages all of these exchanges with complete logging and tracking of all messaging. This is especially useful when trying to analyze activity and trends within your communications to determine strength and weakness within your business processes. TITAN integrates with your existing computer network and does not have any monthly fees.

Healthcare seems to be a token debate in the Senate, but what isn’t being discussed or debated is how to more efficiently operate the hospitals we already have in service. With over 6,600 hospitals spread over our 50 states, there’s a lot of room to evaluate how staff communication could result in more efficient patient care and less errors. In addition, JTECH’s communication solutions enhance your HIPAA compliance efforts, ensuring the respect and privacy your patients expect and deserve. And very importantly, StaffComm™ push-button paging is simple enough to ensure the technology doesn’t become just another distraction in an already complicated field.

Some everyday tasks can be quite repetitive, but they still have to get done to keep a large store or other large facility running smoothly. Part of what can make these tasks so irritating is that often inefficiency surrounds them as well. With the implementation of TITAN by JTECH you can automate some of these regular activities, streamline business operations and enhance employee satisfaction too. For example, TITAN will allow your front end and mobile staff to silently alert maintenance for potential liabilities such as spills, wet floors or other customer hazards. In addition, TITAN can connect your front end staff with security, as well as operational management for things such as transaction approvals and cash handling. Another common occurrence at the front end of the store is the need to verify an item’s price. Nothing slows down a line like a customer contesting that an item had a different price displayed on the shelf than the price that is registered in the system. With TITAN, the right people can be immediately notified to rectify the problem. TITAN enables staff to better work together as a team and to meet customer and employee needs more quickly and efficiently. And because TITAN logs and tracks all communication occurrences, management can go back and analyze the data for areas of improvement or where tasks might be automated.

Meanwhile, employees are not the only ones who benefit from TITAN – customers will reap the rewards as well. For example, customer help buttons can facilitate more immediate customer service. When strategically placed in key departments throughout the store, customers are empowered, knowing they can reach an associate when needed. TITAN also helps you better service high volume departments too. By utilizing in-store wireless customer pagers when services include a processing time, customers are free to engage in other shopping while waiting for a prescription or automotive services. TITAN not only helps to automate many everyday communication tasks, but it also sets you apart from your competition. Customers will remember and appreciate the superior service they received, even if they don’t know what was behind it all.

We live in highly stimulating environments – in any given direction, one is inundated with messages, sounds, alerts and visual distractions. It’s hard to focus on any one given message at a given time. For this reason, it requires more and more to actually capture the attention of an individual. This is true in our private lives and in our professional lives. One of the ways to combat this flood of distraction is to have dedicated lines of communication for actionable and imperative messages. For example, in a business or professional setting, JTECH’s unique StaffComm™ paging equipment allows you to send specific and time sensitive messages in a discreet yet effective manner. This connectivity with your staff will allow you to better respond to the needs of your clients, guests and customers.

With StaffComm and the SmartAlert® wireless messaging suite, you have the option of messaging just one individual or an entire group of people. StaffComm gives you the ability to power and empower your people with proper and efficient communication. By working together as a team you will be able to provide a higher level of service, a great range of goods and services, and maximize the utilization of your sales force or staff. It has long been said that the employee is the most valuable asset of a business, but your employees are only as valuable as you make them. By communicating well with StaffComm push button transmitters and InstaCall™ Alphanumeric pagers, you enable them to perform specific tasks quickly and accurately. No more miscommunication about the nature of the request or about which staff member was expected to do ‘xyz’ – with StaffComm, your messages are concrete and may be directed to a specific person. By using StaffComm, it’s also easier to immediately identify areas for improvement and also to reward a job well-done. StaffComm helps to develop a teamwork mentality by added an extra level of connectivity between staff members. This extra connectivity might just be the added piece that enhances your profit level.

Interoffice communication is of the utmost importance for running a successful business of any size and any industry. Oddly enough, we have more communication devices available at our fingertips than ever before, and yet it’s still a topic of concern and contention. For example, you can tweet, email, text, call, Skype or Facebook message at any given moment. There is another option though – JTECH’s SmartAlert® messaging solution is a fully customizable communication tool to meet your office’s specific needs. Within the SmartAlert system you can integrate StaffComm™ microtransmitters that allow for immediate communication with fellow staff members. This system is ideal for settings where personal cell phone usage might not be appropriate. It’s also quite easy to press a single button to alert a specific staff member that there is a phone call waiting for them or that a delivery has arrived for which they need to sign. These discreet wireless pages can be sent from a phone or a StaffComm “push-button” microtransmitter device.

JTECH’s pagers are also ideal for offices where individuals may not be tethered to a desk, but rather are mobile, moving about the facility. This type of employee mobility is commonly seen in collaborative environments where cooperative group brainstorming is common. Discreet pagers work well in this type of environment where frequent group work is occurring because a message can be silently transmitted without disrupting the flow and work of everyone else around. In addition, a superior level of privacy is maintained with disruptions kept to a minimum. And while a lot of people might be telecommuting to work these days, the office as an institution is not going anywhere anytime soon. And so, it’s important to make the most efficient use of what is available. Collaboration in the workplace is an untapped source of gold – when minds gather around a problem, the possibilities are endless. Un-tethering employees from their desks and computer screens, yet keeping them accessible opens up a world of possibility.

Mobilizing your most experienced staff is key for maximizing efficiency and delivering the best possible customer experience. JTECH’s unique StaffComm™ staff paging system places immediate, silent and actionable communication right at your fingertips. JTECH’s silent push button transmitters mobilize your key staff members to where they are needed most. This quick and efficient manner of communication is ideal for grocery stores and places where customer interaction can sometime be hard to anticipate. Experienced staff is irreplaceable and utilizing them to the best of your ability is key to making the customer experience the best it can be. StaffComm push button messaging sends instant information to JTECH InstaCall™ pagers. This silent manner of communication reduces the need for loud and disruptive overhead paging. So, not only can you mobilize your most experienced staff to where they are needed most, your customer won’t even know what is going on behind the scenes. It will merely look like they are being met with the greatest level of service without a big show or inconvenience. This will not only make your business look anticipatory to customer needs, it will make you look professional and efficient – something that most can appreciate.

One of the biggest wastes that businesses seem to miss is not mobilizing and making the best use of staff. You might have the best employees in the world, but if they aren’t there to service your customers, it won’t matter one iota. JTECH StaffComm push button paging will place you one step closer to making the most of all your staffing resources. Now, you can move your key players around as needs demand. Find out where people are needed most, and get them there with JTECH pagers and messaging devices.

Most people don’t gravitate towards the doctor’s office, and when it is necessary, they would like to get in and get out; the faster the better. Doctors are in the service industry, perhaps on the scientific end of the service spectrum, but service nonetheless. If doctors are able to service their patients more efficiently and more quickly, they can then see more patients in less time. Bottom line, this typically results in better financial gains. Office staff will also be more content with their employment situation if patients are being seen more efficiently and with shorter wait times.

The above is possible with JTECH’s StaffComm wireless messaging and InstaCall™ alphanumeric pagers. StaffComm and pagers give you the ability to direct staff to specific rooms thereby reducing delays. And, JTECH pagers are discreet and silent. As a result, they are not distracting and don’t add extra stress to an environment that is often already ripe with tension or stress. In reality, the physician’s office receptionist is not unlike an air traffic controller. By integrating pagers, streamlining communications and increasing efficiency, you are making the job much easier to manage. While a task such as processing patient insurance information is a necessary duty that must be completed by someone, if wait times are long and patients are unhappy, everything else seems just that much more difficult to get done. JTECH pagers and systems allow receptionists and nurses to coordinate and manage office needs and better respond to the needs of patients. Perhaps the patient in exam room two needs an immunization shot. StaffComm and pagers give staff the ability to coordinate skills and abilities in order to best serve the patient. Pagers also help coordinate the plethora of visiting medical sales associates who are always vying for attention by notifying the relevant employee of their arrival. All the while, if the nursing staff is well run with the proper communication devices, the doctor will be more available to tend to more urgent needs.

The healthcare industry is ripe with roles and responsibilities. One must contend with nursing staff, patients in queues, administrative staff, housekeeping staff, non-critical transportation staff and many other support departments. How do you keep them all straight and working as one team? One practical way is to implement a communication system that allows for seamless interaction between the various professionals. TITAN by JTECH normalizes these varied and often disparate communications to help manage the business more effectively (and profitably). TITAN can be integrated into systems you already have in place and TITAN maximizes the devices you already use such as email, wireless handsets, on-site pagers, cell phones, smart phones, and PDAs. Of unique importance to the medical field is the need for swift and clear communications. That’s been JTECH’s business for over 22 years now.

TITAN brings a sense of calmness and order to a potentially chaotic and uncertain business. TITAN also has a reporting engine that logs all communication with date and time stamping and message delivery confirmation. And while TITAN links communication between staff, it also links communications between staff and patients. JTECH’s unique MediPass™ pagers allow staff to manage patient queues more effectively and reduce waiting patients’ anxiety. No more worrying about the patient missing their name being called and it’s also no longer necessary for the patient to remain in the traditional waiting room. Now they have the freedom to go to the café, gift shop or chapel and relieve the stress often associated with hospital and clinic visits. This further frees up staff to attend to incoming patients’ needs and concerns. With TITAN, it’s about improving processes.

Walk in clinics play an essential role in providing primary health care services. A walk in clinic is the common term used in referring to health care service providers, but these health care service providers may also be called convenient care clinics. The reason for referring to these clinics as such might be because these clinics are often situated in retail stores, supermarkets, pharmacies and workplaces. Common illnesses that are often treated in walk in clinics include colds, sinus infections, sprains and strains. Some walk in clinics even have services for preventive health care. These services include flu or tetanus vaccinations, regular physical examinations for school or work purposes, and even pregnancy tests. Patients are typically treated by advanced practice nurses, but achieve the same results as those treated by primary care physicians. Patients might also see a Physician Assistant, which is required to work under the supervision of a primary care physician. These are trained professional health service providers who are tasked to give quality health care to persons availing primary care of walk in clinics. Walk in clinics bring services to the people needing primary and urgent health care. Walk in clinics are estimated to increase in number in the years ahead. Almost all sectors of society benefit from these walk in clinics.

Integrating a paging system into a walk-in clinic or an outpatient center allows for faster, more accurate customer care. This new efficiency can be achieved by using a paging system such as those by JTECH. PeopleAlert™ and the MediPass™ pager effortlessly streamline patient flow and queues. SmartAlert® with the durable InstaCall™ alphanumeric (text) pagers provide versatile and discreet messaging, both of which are necessary in a walk-in clinic or an outpatient center. In addition, these pagers support HIPAA compliance, delivering an improved workflow and patient care.

The largest employers in the private sector essentially set the ground rules for the role that benefits will play in the total rewards packages of all employers in the nation. We are also now fully into an age when events outside the U.S. labor market and economy are the primary driver of benefit and compensation trends within our country. The central difference between the United States and other nations when it comes to health and retirement benefits is the relative role of institutions in both the public and private sectors versus the role of individuals. Benefit plans extend way beyond the conventional perks like health insurance and vacation pay, and include things such as what equipment is available in the workplace for employees to succeed. JTECH’s PeopleAlert™ and SmartAlert® systems provide an immeasurable benefit to employees, although not part of the typical benefits package. Instant access to staff is an essential strategy to enhancing business relationships.

Research in other developed nations shows a strong general public commitment to “community” obligations, as opposed to the general desire in the United States for individual choice and control, but with a safety net. Community in the workplace is enhanced when JTECH’s wireless pagers are used between staff members. However, regardless of how workers get their benefits, a major obstacle to retirement security in America is the way individuals have embraced the constant call to spend and borrow. Employee Benefit Research Institute’s most recent Retirement Confidence Survey found that 22 percent of workers and 28 percent of retirees report they have no savings of any kind. With so many people not saving and easy credit gone, it’s no surprise that Americans now say they are suddenly deeply worried about retirement. Once again wireless pagers provide a solution to another problem, the return of retirees to the workplace in fields they have little experience. JTECH’s customizable communication systems connect seasoned employees with less-experienced newcomers.
