Hospital presentation facilities have unique needs

The right lecterns and sound systems for healthcare settings must fit with the location and purpose

By Healthcare Facilities Today


Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are microcosm communities with sectors dedicated to education, business, entertainment and even spiritual functions, according to an article on the AV-IQ website. Hospital spaces frequently become presentation venues and the right presentation equipment provides the foundation for effective communication.

In hospitals devoted to teaching along with treatment, a well-chosen lectern is an essential classroom tool, the article said. For large auditorium settings, the best lecterns will incorporate multimedia connectivity to give the speaker easy access to video and audio control.

Small room presentations frequently require the same level of media support as a lecture hall speech, but the speakers needs to manage different types of equipment to keep the information flowing. When projectors and other devices are needed, a mobile computer cart/lectern combination is an efficient choice that can easily move from room to room. 

An attractive, weatherproof lectern provides a secure point of contact for arriving patients and guests. the article said.  Lockable storage, easy mobility, and customized logos are all valuable assets to consider for a concierge desk or valet stand.

A simple, portable sound system will be put into service on a regular basis all over a facility, according to the article. These units can support formal presentations in lecture halls, enhance audience interaction at social events, and deliver instructions to large groups of people during emergencies. Operating on battery power, they can be used indoors and out and carried  from place to place.
