Distributed Audio Systems
Almost all commercial facilities have distributed audio systems for various uses. Different types are background music systems, paging systems, noise masking and mass notification. In some cases the distributed audio system can provide all of those or a combination of those in one single system. Is your facility prepared for emergencies that are not fire related like, hazardness material emergencies, terrorist or crime emergencies, any kind of emergency that would benefit from a facility wide communication system. CES can design and install from simple background music systems to advanced paging and monitored systems. CES is certified installers for Biamp's Vocia product line. Distributed audio can be easily over looked in a facilities design stage and typically added expenses are incurred to add a system late in construction or after construction.
HIPAA compliance for facilities that need to protect the privacy of their patients is often over looked in regards to doctor conversations with patients. Have you ever been in the doctors office only to hear discussions from another examination room? Sound masking systems can provide a facility with the ability to make sure that the patient's privacy complies even in conversation. Sound masking is often misunderstood, but in reality is a very simple concept. Sound masking injects noise into a facility, much like the sound of air conditioner when running. It's a barely noticeable sound, but enough sound to make it impossible to listen to a conversation from a distance. UNLV's Student Union and Wellness Center is a good example. The system has the capability to page to the whole facility, page by floor and there are individual room systems. It also has a wellness area and pharmacy that need to comply with HIPAA laws. The same paging system is used to generate sound masking noise over the same paging system, but only in areas that require privacy like corridors, waiting areas and the pharmacy counter area.
