The medical sector is growing faster than practically any other industry, and it’s not expected to stop. There are more seniors now than at any time in history, and that puts a lot of strain on understaffed doctors’ offices. And of course, we all remember how quickly some sort of new “bug” can come out of the blue. There’s no question that the demand for quality medical treatment is growing faster than the industry can keep up.
What does that mean to the average person? Unfortunately it means longer waits in the waiting room, for one. It means longer waits throughout the process. And let’s be honest here… it means unhappy patients. No one wants to be in a doctor’s office, and when we go to one it’s generally because we’re already pretty unhappy.
No one goes to medical or nursing school because they like being berated by patients. No one learns medical office management because they want to babysit unhappy people. And there’s one more thing: absolutely no one gets into the medical profession because they like diagnosing technology problems.
That’s pretty obvious, right? And yet think about the typical medical office experience. Most folks would be pretty content to sit and play with their phones for a little while. You don’t even have to give them dated magazines or stale coffee. But, unfortunately, many medical offices suffer from horrendous cell phone service. That’s right, I said it. The cell service in many medical facilities is absolutely terrible. And really, there’s no reason for that most of the time.
For the last 20 years or so, medical offices have compensated for bad cell service by offering free Wi-Fi. The problem with that is simple: the office generally doesn’t have enough internet capacity to let everyone in the waiting room stream Netflix at the same time. Equipment becomes overtaxed, patients complain, and staff spend way too much time trying to figure out what thing to reboot. That takes away from the time you should be able to spend doing your job. So think about it: trying to keep patients from being cranky is actually increasing their wait time and that means that they just get cranky faster.
It’s amazing to me that more people don’t know about cellular booster technology. A cell phone booster takes strong signal from outside, brings it inside through a cable, amplifies it, and pumps it out to a large area. Cell boosters are safe, effective, and work with every carrier. They support 4G, LTE, and 5G. A cell phone signal booster takes away the need for free Wi-Fi, and it gives people better service than your Wi-Fi ever could.
Cell boosters require no maintenance and are futureproof. They’re safe in practically every medical environment. (The only exception would be places that cell phones aren’t allowed anyway.) Here’s the best part: most cell boosters can be installed by the facilities people you already have, in a matter of hours. There’s no reason to shut down to upgrade. When something like this comes along, it’s pretty surprising that people aren’t shouting about it, right? Don’t ask me why they aren’t.
If you have a relatively straightforward small office, you can choose an off-the-shelf office-grade cell booster and install it quickly. You can even prepay for professional installation if you need it. Packaged cell booster solutions cover areas up to 10,000 square feet and provide great coverage.
But, if your medical facility is larger or more complex, you’re going to want a professional on your side. Signal Connect will work with you to plan the perfect installation. We’ll help you identify where service is worst and where it needs to be blocked for safety reasons. Using blueprints you supply electronically (generally your facility team has these) We’ll use CAD software to build out the perfect solution. Then, we’ll send everything to you, ready to go, along with plans on where to put every single antenna and amplifier. The work can be done by your facilities team or anyone you choose. You’ll go from “what did you say?” to “I hear you” in record time!
As demand for internet continues to skyrocket, you’re going to keep buying more and more expensive plans just to be able to offer free Wi-Fi. Or, if you give customers the cell service they want, you get to keep your internet capacity 100% committed to your staff. Over time, that cell booster will pay for itself.
Today’s cell phone signal boosters are futureproof. Because of the slow pace of new standards coming out, we can say confidently that today’s cell boosters will easily work for 5-7 years and maybe more. That’s 5-7 years of never having to reboot the router or try to help irate customers put your Wi-Fi password into their phone. If you ask me, that’s a real value by itself.
If you’d like to find out more about a cell phone signal booster solution for your medical office, call the experts at Signal Connect. We’re here during East Coast business hours in our Detroit-area corporate offices. We don’t have overseas call centers; we have trained technicians who are ready to listen.
