According to the most recent Medicare cost reports in the American Hospital Directory, there are roughly 156.5 million combined annual patient days at hospitals throughout the United States. Nearly 5% of hospitalized patients experience an adverse drug event during their inpatient stay, as stated by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Synchronized clocks from Primex can help build stronger medication administration routines for a higher level of patient safety. 

There's no denying the importance of patient satisfaction for every hospital or healthcare facility. Surely, striving for positive patient health outcomes is the number one goal, but patient satisfaction and experience can play an integral role in ensuring that happens.

Synchronized clocks within hospitals, schools, offices, warehouses, and other facilities are essential. When all clocks within a facility display the same exact time, they help to keep operations, appointments, classes, meetings, and other important events on schedule. And when it comes time to choose a synchronized time solution, building managers and facility staff have options — but not all options are equal. Atomic clocks, given their well-deserved reputation for accuracy, are often considered. However, atomic time has some drawbacks, especially if trying to outfit a larger facility with synchronized clocks.

Primex OneVue solutions can improve any new building. From large-yet-segmented hospitals and schools to wide-open warehouses and transit centers, Primex technology can help strengthen timeliness, safety, and communication. But before these solutions can get to work, they often need to be included in new building plans that construction firms put together.

Keeping activities on time can be vital within any facility, be it a school, hospital, pharmacy, or warehouse. Healthcare patients sometimes require and always deserve to receive on-time care. Classes and tests that start on time can help to make students feel less rushed. Warehouse product line or transit center efficiency is best when employees work cohesively under synchronized time.

The National Center for Education Statistics lists 3,931 degree-granting postsecondary campuses in the U.S. as of 2020-2021. Whether at a small private school, like the enrollment-of-14 Deep Springs College in eastern California, or a large university, like the sprawling multibuilding campus at the University of Texas at Austin, keeping individuals on time can be a difficult task. However, with a Primex Sync™ Synchronized Time solution, lectures, discussion classes, labs, and other courses can be better kept on time. With various analog and digital Primex clocks throughout a college campus, students, teaching staff, and visitors can all function on the same synchronous time.

Elementary and high school hallways are once again buzzing with students carrying textbooks, Trapper Keepers, and pencil cases as they navigate through their daily schedules. And the number of students can be many, as public school enrollment estimates in the U.S. for prekindergarten through grade 12 could include approximately 49.6 million students if an upward trend from Fall 2020 continues.

The timely deliverance of care plays an essential role in many aspects of the healthcare industry. Seeing patients on time can maximize a schedule's allotment, which helps generate more revenue for the hospital or health system. Avoiding long wait times or constant reschedules can also improve patient satisfaction, contributing to increased reimbursement rates if HCAHPS scores are high.
