Hospital intelligent broadcasting system solution

I. System Requirement Analysis

Functional Requirements

• Daily Broadcasting: Play background music, guidance for medical treatment procedures, department notifications, etc. Zonal control is required (e.g., outpatient area, inpatient department).

• Emergency Broadcasting: Automatically trigger alarm broadcasts in case of fires or medical emergencies, giving priority to covering the entire hospital and linking with the fire-fighting system.

• Triage and Guidance: The triage desk can broadcast patient diversion instructions in real time to reduce congestion.

• Remote Management: Support wireless remote control, telephone broadcasting, and remote paging to adapt to unexpected situations.

Technical Requirements

• Networked Architecture: Deployed based on the IP network, compatible with the existing hospital network, and supporting multi-terminal access.

• Intelligent Linkage: Link with the fire-fighting system and video monitoring system to automatically trigger broadcasts and pop up relevant pictures when an alarm occurs.

• High Reliability: The equipment should support automatic switching in case of power failure and have a backup server to ensure 24-hour operation.

II. System Architecture Design

Core Components

• Broadcast Management Host: Deployed in the hospital's head control center, supporting multi-level permission management (e.g., for the hospital director, department heads).

• IP Network Terminals: Cover areas such as the outpatient hall, wards, and corridors, supporting scheduled playback and zoned broadcasting.

• Fire Linkage Module: Connect to the smoke alarm system. When triggered, automatically play evacuation instructions and link with the access control system to open gates.

• Mobile Terminals: A paging microphone is configured at the nurse station, supporting one-button calling for specific areas or whole-hospital broadcasting.

Network Layout

• Wired Transmission: Use optical fiber backbone + network cables to cover core areas, ensuring low latency and high stability.

• Wireless Expansion: Deploy wireless APs in parking lots and activity areas to support the access of mobile terminals.

IV. Implementation Steps and Key Points

Requirement Investigation

Communicate with the hospital management department to clarify the broadcasting coverage areas (such as outpatient clinics, wards, operating rooms) and the priority division.

Equipment Selection

• Broadcast Host: Select an IP network broadcast host that supports multi-level permission management (such as a model from Laibang Technology).

• Terminal Equipment: Use high-fidelity ceiling speakers in outpatient areas and waterproof sound columns outdoors to ensure clear sound quality.

Network Deployment

Evaluate the existing network bandwidth and upgrade to a gigabit optical fiber backbone as needed to avoid network congestion during broadcasting.

System Testing

• Function Testing: Verify core functions such as zoned broadcasting, emergency linkage, and remote control.

• Stress Testing: Simulate the scenario of whole-hospital simultaneous broadcasting to ensure system stability.

Training and Operation & Maintenance

Provide system operation training for medical staff, including broadcasting release and equipment maintenance.
Establish an annual inspection mechanism to regularly check the equipment status and upgrade the firmware.

V. Cost-Benefit Analysis

Initial Investment

Approximately 1.5 - 3 million yuan (including IP network hosts, terminals, cabling, and software).

Annual Operation and Maintenance Cost

100,000 - 200,000 yuan (including equipment maintenance and cloud storage).

Benefits

• Reduce manual broadcasting costs by 50% and improve triage efficiency by 30%.

• Shorten the emergency response time to within 30 seconds and reduce the risk of medical accidents.

VI. Future Expansion Directions

• AI Voice Interaction: Integrate voice recognition technology to support patients in querying department locations or fees through voice.

• Digital Twin Management: Build a three-dimensional model of the hospital broadcasting system to achieve virtual inspections and fault prediction.

• Blockchain Record Storage: Store broadcasting records and emergency instructions to ensure data immutability.

Through the above solution, the hospital broadcasting system can be upgraded from "passive notification" to "intelligent collaboration", significantly improving medical service efficiency and emergency management capabilities.
