CASE STUDY: Eskenazi Health & Hospital Corporation

The Challenge

Hospitals require swift and comprehensive communication systems to deliver critical messages. However, the sensitive environment demands a discrete approach that minimizes disruptions to patients and ensures their privacy. A balance between efficiency, confidentiality and tranquility is essential.

Eskenazi Health and Health & Hospital Corporation was constructing a brand-new facility on the east side of Indianapolis. In designing this state-of-the-art space, Eskenazi Health recognized the critical need for a communication system that could handle high patient volumes and intricate care demands. Without a top-tier communication infrastructure, both patients and staff would face significant challenges. Ensuring prompt emergency notifications, seamless exchange of patient information, and robust privacy protections were essential priorities in the planning and construction of this new facility.

Recognizing the need for an advanced communication system, Eskenazi East Side Health Center reached out for help. Fairchild was subcontracted to provide a comprehensive solution.

The Solution

Fairchild Communications Systems, Inc. partnered with Industrial Electric to design and implement a state-of-the-art communication network tailored to the specific needs of Eskenazi East Side Health Center. By installing a robust fiber optic and copper cabling infrastructure, the team created a foundation for reliable and high-speed data transmission.

The advanced paging and emergency notification system, integrated with electronic sound masking, ensures that critical messages are delivered promptly and efficiently while maintaining patient privacy and a calm atmosphere. This comprehensive solution will transform the hospital’s communication capabilities, enabling enhanced patient care, staff efficiency, and overall operational effectiveness when compared to other health centers.
