Dispatch Platform
for Healthcare

Safety and security are paramount in a healthcare setting but face growing challenges to maintain. Increasing risks and their demands, as well as changes to organizational structures due to mergers and acquisitions, have real impacts on response efforts and day-to-day operations. Still, one thing remains constant—the critical role of communication in protecting patients, staff and visitors. The need for fast, accurate and secure communication has never been greater.

Learn the difference Avtec and its dispatch communications technology can make within your hospital or healthcare system. No matter the size of your organization or which radios or phone systems you use, Avtec Scout™ has a solution for you.




Proven

Avtec has been a leading provider of dispatch communication consoles for more than 40 years. With over 1,200 systems deployed, our Avtec Scout Enterprise family of solutions is trusted by hospitals and healthcare systems, as well as air medical services and thousands of first responders nationwide. This is in addition to federal agencies and dozens of Fortune 500 companies that rely on Avtec Scout to connect and coordinate resources—quickly, accurately and securely—within facilities, across campuses and even throughout their communities.

Scalable

As your organizational structure changes, so too will your response plans and communications needs. Avtec Scout is up to the challenge since its flexible design allows it to easily grow in both capacity and capabilities. Our pure VoIP system can be distributed over a LAN/WAN using standard Ethernet technology. This allows you to create a central hub in one location, redistribute Scout systems to many facilities, or set up mobile and disaster recovery sites when necessary. Build your system now knowing you are prepared for later and your investment is always safe.

Reliable

There are many stakeholders responsible for the overall safety and security in a healthcare environment. With Avtec Scout at the core of communications, connect team members instantaneously and be confident in consistently exceptional audio quality. When situations impact one hospital’s dispatch center, Avtec Scout can automatically failover to another facility for operational continuity. Avtec’s ScoutCare™ program offers added peace of mind through post-warranty software and hardware maintenance, including the latest updates and security patches, as well as training and 24/7/365 technical support.

The large number of people who enter your doors every day require a high level of care as well as concern to ensure the safety and security of all.

Whether dispatching staff for pandemic response, managing an active shooter situation or coordinating an emergency surgery, Avtec Scout consoles have the capabilities you need. These include:

  • Built-in redundancies and automatic failover for “always on” availability
  • One-touch access to critical resources for streamlined communications and operational efficiencies
  • The ability to view camera footage directly at the console
  • Console pads to sound alarms, communicate via intercom and emergency phones, open or close a door, and more

Interoperability

Your security team may use another radio system than your facilities staff, and the hospitals within your system may have varying phone systems. With Avtec Scout, it’s possible to connect them all. Built on open standards, Avtec’s Scout Enterprise solutions help you create a uniform approach to communications while protecting all your organization’s investments.

  • Communication within and across buildings and campuses to expedite response and ensure operational continuity

  • The ability to mix and match four different models, ensuring your dispatchers have the right console for their job
  • Mobility to dispatch from another location via laptop or tablet in the event of evacuation or other disaster recovery need
  • A customizable user interface, enabling you to mirror screens of legacy systems and minimize retraining
