As a hospital IT administrator, you know that these facilities are nothing without the people who work inside them. But as you also know, the healthcare technology in patient rooms, is pretty important, too, and in this slideshow, we examine some pretty poor examples of it… And pair those with much, MUCH better ones.

Whoever made the hospital technology investments in these examples really lost out, but the real losers are, of course, the patients. It isn’t clear in some of these pictures if the tech was installed by an actual systems integrator or a business owner who wanted to save some cash. (This story premiered on our sister site, Commercial Integrator).

  • Do you install metal detectors?
  • How are the surveillance cameras monitored?
  • How many outlets will you use for your emergency notification systems?

And, don’t forget, everything needs to work together, including any pre-existing hardware there may be.
