A few weeks ago, I had an interesting experience when I went into an auto-parts store to purchase a replacement air filter for my wife’s car. When I got to the counter, I told the store clerk what I needed. He looked up the part number in the computer and then pointed to a wall a few aisles away, telling me I could find it there. I was a little surprised that he didn’t take the time to walk me over to the aisle to find it, because that was typical of my past customer experience.

While once a staple in hospitals and clinics, pagers now present significant limitations that hinder rather than facilitate communication among healthcare professionals. Healthcare professionals are constantly on the move, and they need communication tools that can keep up with their fast-paced lives.

Healthcare is a continuously evolving industry, especially when it comes to compliance. Compliance standards are consistently under scrutiny from regulatory organizations, which means healthcare professionals frequently need to refresh, re-train, and learn new concepts and best practices.
