Audio Visual Insights for Web-Conferencing and Live Streaming

As we wound down February, a month in which our team focused on audiovisual technologies for the healthcare industry, I had a chance to speak with Dennis Vallone with Bayada Home Health Care. Dennis and his team, with the guidance and design expertise of CRS's parent company, Haverford Systems, integrated some key technologies for Bayada's southern New Jersey offices 

As a local Phila.-area audiovisual integrator, Haverford Systems is knowledgeable in every facet of conference room design and integration. Dennis told CRS Tech Talk about Bayada Home Health Care, its mission and some of the technologies being utilized today at its Pennsauken, N.J. site.

It's nearing the end of February, a cold month with cloudy days and stories circulating about illnesses. This has been an especially tough winter, as threats of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the flu have spanned countries, making many of us question the safety and importance of making a business trip or even coming into the office. 

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare employment is expected to grow 14 percent from 2018 to 2028. Telehealth is up 53 percent, and is growing faster than any other place of care. In fact, according to Massachusetts General Hospital, 79 percent of patients say that a telemedicine follow up is more convenient than in-person visits.

Popular building-design and workstyle trends are raising office noise levels, and the results often negatively impact staff productivity and businesses' bottom lines.

The push toward increased “daylighting” in building designs, often in pursuit of  Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, presents office noise challenges. Increasing a building’s natural light coverage means more glass, both in terms of external windows and interior partitions. Glass performs poorly as a noise blocker, thus contributing to an increase in overall office noise.
