Hospital communication systems designed to provide voice information to the staff, patients, and/or visitors within the healthcare facility (e.g., in patient and waiting rooms). These systems typically consist of a central console with a microphone, amplifiers, and power sources; interconnecting wiring to most healthcare facility areas; and local loudspeakers to reproduce the voice message with enough volume to permit easy hearing in crowded areas. Public address communication systems allow users to summon and/or warn patients, visitors, and staff for routine or emergency needs.
