DDA compliance
LCD Digital Display
The digital waiting room display has a 100 mm character LCD display with black numbers on a near white background. This display allows the partially sighted and the colour blind to have the best opportunity to read the displayed information in accordance with the DDA legislation. Research has shown that this way of displaying
information is easier to read than the red LED displays and can be viewed at greater distances.
Recorded Voice Announcements
To meet the needs of the partially sighted and the blind we have included a recorded voice facility that can be selected electronically. When the patient's number and the clinician's room number is displayed on the LCD panel, an announcement giving this information will also be broadcast. This recorded voice announcement facility can be used to make timed public service announcements throughout the day.
Global Panic Alerts
The global audio/visual panic alerts are activated whenever a panic button is pressed anywhere in the building. A panic alert message indicating the location of the emergency will be displayed on every digital consulting room desk unit and a panic tone will sound. A recorded voice announcement via the panic speaker system in the corridors will alert all staff in the building that a panic button has been activated and the precise location of the emergency. This is repeated until cancelled at a reception controller.
Hearing Induction Loop
All patient call and receptionist announcements will be broadcast through the hearing induction loop system (where fitted).
