  • 1.  Patient Room Telephones

    Posted 10-15-2019 08:49 AM
    Hi. We are looking for alternatives to analog patient room phones. Any suggestions regarding devices and infection control considerations are appreciated. I"ve recently heard that there must be facility provided phones in patient rooms and if anyone can confirm or dispute this I'd like to hear from you. Thank you,

    Hey Katy!  i have been pondering the same thing in our facilities.  keeping all those analog ports active and on maintenance is very costly.  we have an upgrade upcoming and would love to find a way around them.  have you had any feedback from anyone on this?
