Kicking a bad habit is difficult, we get it. Pagers have been around with you for a long time and helped you out over the years. Sadly, like all things, their time has come to an end. Pagers are no longer as productive as they were once thought, and they don\u2019t fit the modern style of working quite like they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though pagers were meant to be phased out by 2021, there are still a large number in use, costing the NHS \u00a36million+ a year. Connection issues are one of the reason pagers haven\u2019t been removed from the system, but modern technology created by Sense navigates that problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article we look at why it\u2019s time to make the change to Sense Badges and get rid of pagers for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sense Badges are produced by UK-based company, Sense. A Sense Badge can be worn by a frontline worker, such as a doctor or nurse, and used for many purposes, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sense Badges link with Sense Gateways, which help to accurately locate the wearer indoors, while ensuring data is relayed in real-time to and from the Sense Console, even in difficult environments where signal strength can be problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sense Console is software which digests and displays information, ready for real-time management of people or assets, or in-dept retrospective data analysis and reporting, helping you to understand and improve frontline processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pagers did a great job of helping frontline workers connect, once upon a time. But pagers pale in comparison to Sense Badges, even if we just look at cost alone \u2013 a pager with very limited functionality can end up costing you more than a Sense Badge, and it won\u2019t even do half as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some more reasons to make the switch from pagers to Sense Badges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some hospitals are giving more of their staff smartphones as an alternative to pagers, but these can create a bigger burden on staff \u2013 and don\u2019t always perform the functionality that\u2019s really needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sense Badges are a better choice to replace pagers than smartphones, as they are specifically designed to endure the rigours of a healthcare environment, such as being easy to clean, operate, charge, maintain and\/or replace. The easy-to-set-up workflows and choice of functionality protects your workplace from wasted time through employees scrolling on apps or playing mobile games, and the fact that Sense Badges can be clipped to any belt, collar or pocket make them less of a drop risk during a busy shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Sense Badge is more cost effective, too \u2013 you can load up your frontline workers from as little as $10 a month, complete with all-you-can-eat data plan and no need to purchase any equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
